How to make in the admin's dashboard a <select> with the list of all posts of specified post type?

I need this in order to save a post ID with set_option() call.

How to do this?

Use wp_dropdown_pages() to create the drop down. It accepts an post_type parameter.

To avoid collisions with plugins filtering this function you may use walk_page_dropdown_tree() and build your own select. See this post for a code example.
