Norton Ghost 2003 and dos on a bootable USB thumb drive - Issues getting the drive to boot on older Logicsupply hardware. Boots fine on my laptop

So I've been trying, to no avail, for the last few days to create a bootable dos USB thumb drive with Norton Ghost and Dos installed to the drive. The drive, once created, works great on my laptop, but not on the machine which I actually need it for. I'm running an older logic supply micro tower that I'm trying to set up for an in house television channel at a retirement community which I work for. I was able to get the computer to boot with yumi and PING on a bootable drive, but every time I try to launch the dos drive nothing happens. It just boots into the bios's POST and says that there is no disk present. I have all drives deselected, other than usb because this was the only way to get the computer to recognize a bootable USB in the first place. I called logic supply and this was there solution for getting it to boot. My problem lies in the fact that Dos and Ghost will not boot, and I can't seem to figure out why since the version of DOS I have is based on Windows 98, which is in and of itself a legacy system. Does anyone have any idea as to why this isn't working on the legacy hardware, but will boot fine on my newer windows 7 machine? Any help is much appreciated.
