    Well here's a way to do it :

    You need these two utilities to get your work done :

    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 http://www.althack.com/2006/03/10/ho...n-a-usb-drive/

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

    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.

    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.
