Why do I get this error message in German?

[Sgt_Strider]

I'm trying to flash my BIOS using my USB stick and if I set it to being the first device to reboot, I get this error message:

"Ungueltiges System

Datentraeger wechseln und Taste druechken"

What does that mean?

Invalid system Data media change and key ___________

the last word...i dunno...i've never seen that before.

are you actually able to boot from the USB device? it might not be recognizing it with a set name.

the last word is "druecken", meaning "press" ("Taste druecken" = press a key).

The BIOS seems to not recognize your USB stick as a boot device.

Some (i believe older) USB devices aren´t capable of acting as a boot device. You might try to format it within Windows (in FAT and there is an option to use it as a boot device) and try again to boot up with that stick.
