Thanks again Jeffery.  Ok then.  But supposing I just want to boot my laptop with a USB Flash Disk, what should I do?   I tried this once with a Disk Burn Facility but it won't work.....

Hey Fems,Are you still looking for an assistance on this? I was able to locate a couple of MakeUseOf articles that shows you how to boot Windows from a USB FLash drive. Check them out below:How To Create A Bootable USB Drive From Your Windows CDhttp://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-create-a-bootable-usb-drive-from-your-windows-cd/Use Your USB Stick As a Key to Boot Your Windows PChttp://www.makeuseof.com/tag/prevent-pc-from-booting-if-your-usb-drive-is-not-inserted/

Most BIOS's don't recognize the presence of an SD Card. It may recognize an external reader, in which you could set to #1 in boot priority, but even if you did get it to boot, the average input/output speed of an SD Card is about 15 MB/s... So if your BIOS does recognize your SD Card/Reader, you could burn a Linux Live CD that (preferably) loads into ram instead, such as Puppy Linux , Damn Small Linux and Slitaz . To burn an ISO to an SD Card, use a third party utility such as Pen Drive Linux . Though they support burning to a "USB", the procedure is similar to an SD card and should be recognized.
