Default Using Flash (Thumb) Drive via Floppy Boot Disk

Hi Gary,

What OS can you launch off a CD, that allows you to use a flash drive?

Thanks in advance, Brad

anyone has a floppy-based system that supports flash drives, but I may be
wrong.) Off the top of my head (which doesn't remember much these days), I
know of one such OS:

Did you go to the links I provided? I'm fairly certain that BartPE has that
capability. I'm not an expert user, however, so perhaps it doesn't in your
case. You'll have to try it to find out. If, after trying out BartPE, you
need further assistance, come back and we'll find you some. Or use Google to
find help:
