Buying cheap BOOTABLE pendrive

rohan_kumar011 · 20-12-2009, 11:02 AM

Hi all,
I want to buy a cheap new pendrive which would be bootable and has a small(thin) form factor. I believe 8GB will suffice as i only wish to carry some important data(1GB) + 1 Operating System(probably Ubuntu portable version). The drive should be cheap.
Please give advice.
Additionaly, pls suggest where can i buy it in Delhi, as in where from Nehru Place

Thanks in advance.

Sorry to say but u've got it wrong there. I might not have much market/price knowledge but im clear that many drives available today in the markets are NOT bootable. I dont knw abt kingston but ive heard Toshiba and SanDisk Drive are bootable.

If any one used a specific one from any brand then pls tell me.

^^ why so all flash drive have got boot sector, only the mobo should support usb booting and that will make the flash drive a bootable one provided an os is loaded on it
