I tried to flash drive on another computer it worked fine, but on my desktop it will not..
If i turn my dektop on without the flash drive it comes up and says Reboot and Select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key.
If i insert the flash drive it freezes..
If i start the computer with the flash drive in, it wont even get to the screen it freezes at the screen that tells me to press f12 for this, esc for that etc etc.
Any ideas?

And I cant boot from my origonal Hard drive because I believe its gone bad, If i start it with that hard drive it says Reboot and select proper boot device, its like it doesnt even recognize it, which im guessing means its gone bad.. But it wont freeze with that hard drive, but I also cant do anything.
Update:Well i tried to f8 thing but it still brings up the reboot and select proper boot device thing.

Sounds like it isn't recognizing your hard drive. You can try this. When you turn your computer on:
Start tapping the F8 key, this should bring you to a black screen asking you to pick how to start your computer. Choose Start Up from an earlier time/version. I may have that wrong, but you get the gist The calender will show highlights, choose highlight from at least a week earlier. You won't lose any data. The computer will reset. You should do a re-start afterwards. If this doesn't work, start the same process but choose Safe Mode to start. Use your utilities to clean disk, and any virus protection software you have installed, to clean/detect any problems. Do a re-start afterwards.
