Is this flash drive bootable?

Yes, as an example I boot Tails from one of these flash drives.The requirement is that the software you are using to install/move the OS to the flash drive sets up the proper boot/partition info so the bios of the PC can read it (as bootable).

If you are trying to ask if you can turn it into a boot drive where you can load OS's from then yes you can. You will have to download specific software that will wipe the drive and then install the OS onto the drive to be installed on your computer.

All flash drives are bootable as long as you write the bootable image into it using software such as UltraISO, etc.

Yes, as long as you have "boot from usb device" enabled and set in your bios.

Yes it is! .just make sure that you updated the latest firmware. The device come with the instructions and the usb flash drive to do it.

Yes. I am running my OS on this drive. I had to switch to legacy boot mode to get it to work.

Yes, treat it as a standard removable usb drive, don't run the "backup" software.

Yes, of course. You have to format it in ExFAT, it supported by Win7 and Mac without problem.Also you can format any flash drive in ExFAT, it allows files more than 4Gb

It is backwards compatible. I'm not sure if you can use a boot source but I am sure with certain programs it is possible.

Maybe. The form factor is ok, but I don't know, if this system can use the drive.

I think so, as you won't be using is as the boot drive. You should.be able to access any good files.

It depends on how big the USB drive is. Windows XP is a pretty big OS compared to Linux. It also depends on whether or not the BIOS supports booting from USB.

The only thing you should ever have to do to is format them. They worked great on Windows but when I switched to Mac I needed to format the USB. Not sure what you mean by bootable. Their plug and play if that's what you mean :)

Yes, it is bootable. You need to format it appropriately though. Intel Mac: GUID partition. PPC: HFS+

I'e checked it can be formatted to be bootable. Ubuntu boots in less a minute. I think it was reformatted by me about 100 times for testing speed with different fs, I don't see any lost space.

No it's a blank hard drive. You will need to format to what ever operating system u are using.

I boot from USB CD drives and from USB 'thumb' drives using either FreeDOS or LINUX. Works great.

This will work fine just like any other external USB drive. If you don't want it formatted as NTFS, it can be easily formatted as FAT32 or whatever your need is.
