You will have to make changes in the BIOS to make sure that the computer first of all boots from your USB drive. To go to BIOS, press F1 / Del / F2 (depends on your hardware) while the system is booting.

Since your laptop doesn't have a CD drive, the XP Restore files are on the hard drive, read the Manual.
Still stuck, call the manufacturer or the vendor.
