How to do this??

[abhi_10_20]

my system does not provide an option to boot from a usb port.How to make a USB device slot bootable, for example, if we have a linux os on a USB pen drive, how can we boot from the pen drive itself, just by plugging it onto a USB slot and switching on the pc.

U can't!

ur system must support boot from USB for such kinda stuff

Go to bios and make ur first boot device as USB by doing these steps

>>when ur comp ons keep pressinf DEL button
>>Go to advanced bios features
>>Then go to boot device
>>u get options for first,second,third boot device..In there make ur first boot device as USB and disable the others

nope, this won't work. Its like inserting a non-bootable CD/DVD and then hoping to boot from that CD/DVD
