I am using a DT50 Kingston of 32GB

I use gparted for restart my device from sratch with the following configurations:

1. FAT32
2. GPT

I use the following command:

$ dd if=linux_distro.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=4M status=progress

When i want start the USB from the BIOS i can't access to the new system.

Does your system come with a UEFI firmware, not the legacy BIOS? If this is the case, you must make sure that Secure Boot is disabled and you might have to enable the CSM mode.

(dd overrides any partition layout of your USB stick, thus the partition table and the file system you had made on it shouldn't really matter.)

About 'dd' command line, this is better:
dd if=/path/to/filename.iso of=/dev/sdX status=progress conv=fdatasync

Maybe,

usb-creator-gtk

would be easier to use.
