How old is this system?
From my search on this particular system, it's over 3 years old. I don't think the BIOS supports booting from USB. To be certain, check the BIOS to see if it has USB in the boot menu.

Taken from the PDF you link to:
However, before you can create a bootable UFD, you must clear a few hurdles. You saw that one coming didn?t you?
The first hurdle is having a PC in which the BIOS will allow you to configure the USB port to act as a bootable device. The
second hurdle is having a UFD that that will work as a bootable device and that?s large enough and fast enough to boot an operating system such as Windows XP. The third hurdle is finding a way to condense and install Windows XP on a UFD.

UBCD4WIN works great too, they have instructions for creating a boot disk on USB http://www.ubcd4win.com
