Did you try changing the boot order in the bios?
Below is a link from the HP website on how to alter the boot order. You'll need to move the USB HDD setting above the hard-drive setting to be able to boot from a USB.

Re: mint nadia wont load on laptop
Hi skipxlnt, the reason for this is the implementation of UEFI secure boot in PCs designed for Windows 8. Effectively it only allows Windows 8 to boot and prevents any other Operating System from doing so. However there are now work arounds for this situation. I've not needed to load Mint onto a UEFI PC, so can't give you a full set of instructions, but recommend that you search these forums for UEFI boot. Hope this helps, regards
