Is it possible to put an ISO onto your flash drive, and then boot from it? My GA-P35-DS3L motherboard supports booting from a USB flash drive, but it doesn't work when I just place the iso in the root folder of my flash drive-I assume, then, that it is either not possible or I need to do something special...

It needs to have the right files to make it bootable to enable keyboard and mouse and such. Do a google search on creating bootable flash drive.

Thanks for that I found some tutorials! Seems too difficult though, so I'm not going to bother; I'll just have to go buy a couple CDs
