hey guys new to macs and i have brought a second hand 2009 macbook pro

i am having problems with a few things internet wont work, camera wont work and want to a fresh install of osx

i have downloaded mavericks 10.9.1 on my Windows laptop, i transferred it to my mac and followed these instructions on loading and booting usb: http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/clean-install-mavericks/

i have gone through all the steps, but once i get to restarting the laptop and holding option it doesn't pick up the usb or give me an option to boot, it only goes straight into my login screen

i don't have internet at home and will have to go home soon need help asap this is frustrating :(
