    The "how to" instructions came with the CD. See page 2 "how to" instructions for preping the USB stick and follow the instructions on page 1 and substitue USB stick for CD ROM for the boot up menu on the Acer.

    On my One with flashdrive it does not - it completely overwrites the partition data and replaces it with its own configuration.

    Maybe it does offer it on the harddisk versions, but I somewhat doubt it.
