Did you try Void Live on the same USB device you want to install it on?

I've seen this many times: some devices get listed as "USB Storage",
and some as "USB HDD" (even sticks), and it won't get matched by the
BIOS, even though it's all USB.

The solution was to select the thing manually from the boot menu - not
the BIOS setup. But then it may be the case that your BIOS is just
unable to boot on that particular device. If you didn't try the Void
Live on the same device, I would advise you to do so.
