You can either use another computer to burn a bootable CD, or a USB drive. He means configuring a USB drive to be recognised by the systems BIOS and therefore bootable.

Depending on how Ubuntu likes to set itself up you might be able to open the setup and tell it to copy itself onto the USB stick.

Otherwise you'll need to google how you can make a USB drive bootable.
