Well here's a way to do it :

You need these two utilities to get your work done :

BBIE - Bart's Boot Image Extractor *nu2.nu/bbie/
Bart's MKBT, Make Bootable *nu2.nu/mkbt/

First , format your zip drive to FAT 32 Filesystem , now to make drive bootable follow these steps :
1. Extract boot sector of cd using bbie [e.g "bbie image.iso" , "bbie e:"]
2. This will create file image1.bin
3. now copy the contents of the iso or cd onto you USB drive.
4. now execute this command "mkbt -c -x {you zip drive letter} image1.bin"

also , if you want to boot a linux filesystem or the likes then you can follow this guide *www.althack.com/2006/03/10/how-to-run-linux-on-a-usb-drive/

Thanks Zeeshan Quireshi

A lengthy procedure for a lazy person like me. I ll try it anyway

mkbt only supports floppy drives. what to do now?

And also most importantly, most of the BIOS'es don't have the provision to boot from the USB.

nah , most BIOS'es from 2000 have the ability to boot off USB drives

-x Expert mode (do not check drive A or B only)

from *nu2.nu/mkbt/#syntax

Just wanted to know 2 things:

1)Is it possible to reformat a "bootable" pen drive to fat32 format?
2)Is it possible to boot into the Asus P5N32 E SLI BIOS from a bootable pen drive?

1)Is it possible to reformat a "bootable" pen drive to fat32 format?

Yes

2)Is it possible to boot into the Asus P5N32 E SLI BIOS from a bootable pen drive?

You actually first access the BIOS before you boot up.

UNetbootin allows you to create bootable Live USB drives for a variety of Linux distributions from Windows or Linux, without requiring you to burn a CD.

*unetbootin.sourceforge.net/

1. Download and install UltraISO trial.

2. Plug in your pen drive.

3. Open UltraISO as Administrator (right-click shortcut, "Run as Administrator")

4. Open the CD/DVD image file you want to write to pendrive in this instance of UltraISO (File>Open).

5. Under the Bootable menu, select Write Disk Image.

6. A new dialog should open up, listing your pen drive(s).

7. Select the pendrive you want to write your image to.

8. Set the Write Method to USB-HDD (or USB-HDD+ if your BIOS supports it).

9. Click the Write button, and then click Yes/OK in the warning dialog (All data on this drive will be destroyed ....... do you want to continue) that pops up.

8. Sit back, relax and enjoy a drink.

Guys, the thread is over two years old. Please...
