Why can’t a USB flash drive be recognized when plugged into the laptop?

I used USB flash drive to install Windows 11 into a laptop. When I went to Windows Setup screen, in the Choose the boot driver tab it said: Windows can’t be installed on driver 0 partition 1 So I did the following: Open Command Prompt and typed: diskpart list disk select disk 0 clean I did this while having the USB still plug in the laptop I exit Command Prompt and Restart the laptop. And here comes the problem: In the BIOS it didn't recognized the boot from USB option. I thought the problem is on the USB flash drive so I try plug it to several other laptops and they all didn't recognize that
