    Booting Flash Drive with a CD? Maybe?

    Ok I have installed MCNlive on a USB Flash Drive.
    I used it to install and run it on one Laptop so far.
    It worked great.

    But, My Sony laptop that is about 3 years old does not have the option in BIOS to boot from a flash drive.

    I feel that some where, awhile back, I read something about using a liveCD to boot a flash drive. Does anyone know of a way to do this.

    Or, is there a way to set my grub or lilo to boot the Flash Drive?

    Thanks

    did you install Linux in Laptop too? you can add an entry of Flash drive in GRUB configuration files ( grub.conf or menu.lst and device.map files ) of OS installed in Laptop.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
