Thanks for the link

"Reboot your computer and set your system BIOS to boot from USB-HDD or USB-ZIP. Also set the “Hard Disk Boot Priority” if necessary."

if I don't have the boot option "boot from a USB-ZIP", there is no way to do it, is it?

For the OQO02 (and maybe your device is similar):
In the BIOS
Set your boot order to have "Drive D:" before "Drive C:".
Then navigate to drive definitions and select "Drive D:" to be USB HDD.
