simple, you downloaded the embedded version of DSL, the one that is only meant to be started inside windows
go back and download the .iso version of dsl and then download that to a cd-rw (so you can erase it and reuse it again, unless you don't want to which in that case you would use a cd-r)
reboot your system and on startup enter setup change the boot order so that the cd drive boots up first and then before you exit setup open your cd drive and put your cd in
after linux has booted (this is essentially what you wanted to do, but it's running from a cd) right click on the desktop go to apps-->tools-->install to usb pendrive--> and the choose either:
zip- DSL is saved to it's own partiton on your thumbrive HDD- no partitions DSL is stored with everything else
then you can delete the cd you made (if you're using a cd-rw) and then just use your usb drive
remember: change order in set up when you reboot your computer again
