I've had success with the Plop boot manager when others have failed:

I don't know if it will address the exact problem you are having, but it 
is worth a look. I've used it because it allows an older computer, whose 
BIOS normally doesn't know how to boot from USB, boot from USB.

I've also used to to boot into a Dell recovery partition when the normal 
bootloader/MBR  has been overwritten.
