I would be very surprised if any usb drive is bootable. I doubt that
RedHat will be able to install onto the drive. If it does, you will most
likely need to make the boot floppy when it says to make one during the
install.

For Windows to be the primary boot OS, check the box that specifies that
when the bootable partitions are being named. RedHat is easier to
install than nearly any Windows OS :)
