Try formatting the flash drive ( USB stick ) with the HP format tool.

and make sure the file structure of the image your trying to flash is correct.

Use a rear USB port.

Remove all other USB devices.

Use a max 8GB USB stick.

Format with HP Tool as advised above.

If stick still not recognised check the file structure on your USB stick and buy a Genuine Kingston stick.
