Hiya all,
My laptop is unable to boot from USB. Is there anyway i could install a software loader so that i could choose to boot from either USB or HD??
Thanx in advance.

Unless you computer is really old it should be able to boot from a USB device. Check the BIOS for boot order, and try hitting F9 and F12 on boot, those usually bring up the boot selection menu.
