I can't say from experience, but I would think that if you save the boot ISO file to your thumb drive and upon startup alter your boot order to have the USB slots first, then I'd think it should work.

You have to go thru a process of making your usb drive into a bootable one.
Do a search on google (ahh, I will be nice go here)
And this is only one of the ways.
There is a HP utility that works well and then you just need to create/download a floppy boot disk image for the necessary files.

Remember, google is your friend

there r a few ways describing how to use USB flash drive for boot source instead of CD or Floppy

but i personally would not use this possibility to flash bios or hardware firmware - yet!

I actually find it to be quite useful and safe. I just use an old 32mb thumb drive, made it into a boot disk and then I can put what ever files I need (like dos ntfs drivers) and any dos flash programs I may need to use. They work great and are much faster than by floppy or cd as I dont need to recreate a .iso image for each type of flash... I just make a new folder for each type of flash I want to do on the thumb drive and just cd xx to go into said folder then flash. D.
