    Can I use a USB drive for installing a OS?


    I'd like to get something that I can use without needing to burn DVD's anymore for installing operating systems..

    I'm wondering if this will work for doing a clean install of Windows 7 during boot?

    I know you can boot from a CD, but not sure if you can boot using this?
