How to change OS HP mini netbook

I have a new hp mini 110-1109nr and would like to change the OS from XP to either Win7 or Ubuntu. However, the BIOS doesn't show boot from USB as an option (only HD and network-boot). Does anyone know if it's possible to enable USB booting? Do I need to update the firmware? Is it hard to net-boot? (I have a spare machine w/ Linux I can use a host). Can I install from the HD if I create a partition?

plug in your USB device, turn on the HP Mini and hit F9 when the POST screen (HP logo) appears, this will bring up the boot selection menu.
