Bootable pen drive

It's not hard. There are many things to learn from here. My experience is that the first pre-requisite is that the flash drive must be formatted FAT or FAT16. Maybe FAT32, but never NTFS.

Ahh it was so FKin easy till 2007 until my floppy drive throwed up 🙁

Thanks corkyg, After working on this all night I did manage to make my pendrive bootable, but it doesnt boot into it during POST 🙁

Could you tell me what is the name of the pendrive in the boot priority list.
I mean how are pendrives listed in the boot priority list ??
 
Good question! It depends on your machine and BIOS. I have two that can be booted by a flash drive.

The desktop has Phoenix BIOS, and to set it up to boot the pen drive, you must plug it in before boot. Then, power on and go to BIOS setup. In my system, the Lexar flash drive is considered a HDD. So, I go to the HDD list and move it to the top. Then I check the boot order, and HDD is right after CD ROM. That will boot the flash memory drive.

In my laptop, it use the Lenovo "Blue" button then F12 which lets me select a temporary boot device.

In both cases, the pen drive is ID'd by its mfgr name (LEXAR) and then HDD. Hope this helps.
