    Try this. It is not gonna take much time.

    Lowlevel format your pendrive with the Windows executable (requires no installation) HDD Low Level Format Tool ver.4.25 from HDDGURU: HDD LLF Low Level Format Tool

    When completed, do a regular format with HP USB disk Storage Format Tool 2.2.3 Download HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool 2.2.3 Free - Windows-based Format Utility for HP Drive Key or DiskOnKey USB Device - Softpedia
    ( Run it as administrator)

    Create your Windows 7/8 bootable install pendrive with WiNToBootic. WiNToBootic - the ultimate Windows 7/8 USB Boot Disk Maker

    Now if the pendrive does not boot from that machine but bootable on another machine, the only reason I could think of is that your pendrive may require marginally more power which that particular machine is not able to provide.

    Get a replacement drive if it is under warranty or retire it from service.
