The docs for you machine indicate it will boot from a USB flash device (even my 4550 from 2002 can):

--------------------
Boot Sequence

The computer attempts to boot from the sequence of devices specified in this list.

NOTE: If you insert a boot device and restart the computer, this option appears in the system setup menu. To boot from a USB memory device, select the USB device and move it so it becomes the first device in the list.
--------------------

You need to make the flash drive bootable first and to copy the system files on to it. HP has a utility you can download (or at least you could): SP27213.exe. See here.

I have used it to make flash drives bootable. It is very simple.
