| | Booting Win 7 from USB flash drive ? In order to be able to Boot from a flash drive , I understand this ability must be enabled in ones system . I have a desktop and a new laptop in neither of which do I see this choice . I presume this is a choice originally installed on the m/b and it would not , therefore , be possible to use software to enable it ? Is that a correct assumption ? |

| | If the flash drive itself was bootable, then all you would have to do is set the BIOS to boot from it, or select it from a boot menu, as some systems have by hitting F12, etc. That being said, you can boot Windows 7's installer from a flash drive, but you can't boot a working, installed version of Windows 7 from a USB device. |
