Did you try the options under the initial Troubleshooting boot menu?
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
Info for USB installs on http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey
CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

In particular, try running the media check option to make sure your ".iso image to USB" software hasn't mangled the image. Burning the image to an old-fashioned DVD may also work.
