With USB, you have to go into BIOS and make it the 1st bootable drive seen and operated. The SD card is a nitemare, as its a proprietary driver to boot that (but its useable to store stuff in).
Its also possible you selected the wrong method of "installer"... its a USB flash drive. The wording on the CE edition can be confusing. Or maybe you need to D/L the Pup again, it may be funky.
Try using one of these installers to do the install.

Non of these are going to work in Chrome OS.
Need to use them in Windows or a normal main stream Linux OS.
Chrome OS Recovery probably is made to only make a Chrome OS recovery USB.
If you could show us exactly what is on the USB.
We may see something missing.
What you should see is a bunch of different Slacko 5.7.2 files.
All the files when u unpack Slacko 5.7.2 are on the usb stick, I think. I took a look.

Not only, see mikeslr post in my other topic here.

Btw, what should I change to make it booting from
Ethernet?
And do you know something about the programs on the Hiren's bootCD?
