SOURCE: USB not working on HP NX7010
Could be another issue dragging the data circuit down for USB functions. If you plug a USB device in with an LED on it does the light come in? If you have electronics or basic electrical knowledge also look to be sure the 5V supply is present. Ive seen Integrated modem/audio chips kill USB function as well as embedded controller chipset issues. Everything shows working in device manager? Try not mapping thru Modem and see if USB returns.. Yell back..
SOURCE: BIOS upgrade?
u can use usb cddrive without update bios but unlike later versions of windows where you just plug it in and it detects it you will have to use an instalation disk for system to recognise device same with usb stick.
what mem do u have and consider xp (need at least 40meg to install)if u can fit 256 or higher ur laughing mem cheap as buttons these days.

SOURCE: boot from usb
Sounds like the boot order menu is what you have. Set the boot order menu to try other devices before the hard drive. (Example: CD/DVD drive, floppy; if present, USB devices, hard drive). You should have a default key for accessing the boot menu (usually f11 or f12). Hit this key and choose the USB option. Make sure the device you want to boot to is already connected before you turn on the laptop.

Boot Windows USB
First of all you need to make sure that you have got a Pen Drive with a total capacity of minimum 256Mb for the storage of the Setup Files though you can opt for the higher capacity drives and you need to make sure that the format of the Disk is correctly set before the installation process. Hence here we are going to use a tool from HP ie HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool for Formatting a USB Drive into the right File System which can be downloaded from http://files.extremeoverclocking.com/file.php?f=197. Since most BIOS wont accept any drive and would only accept FAT File System you need to make sure that you have formatted the USB Flash Drive using this tool.
Next you need to get ready loading the OS files into the Flash Drive, following which you need to setup the Boot Device in the Advanced BIOS Features. The new version MotherBoards would have a option called 'USB-HDD' before the Hard Drive option and if you dont find this available you need to update your BIOS. If you find it, you need to change the order of booting and make sure that the USB-HDD is in the first option. Next save the BIOS settings and restart the computer.
