[QUOTE="Catt57, post: 3317817, member: 34578"] It should be possible. I've never had the need to try booting from USB though. [SIZE=4][B]Bootable USB with Rufus[/B][/SIZE] Rufus is widely considered to be the [B]fastest and most reliable tool[/B] for the creation of a bootable USB. It [B]also supports UEFI[/B] (“Unified Extensible Firmware Interface”), a new mainboard firmware that replaced the old BIOS and can already be found on almost all newer computers. From Windows 8, it’s also possible to [B]install “Windows2Go” as a portable operating system on an external storage device[/B] with Rufus. Operation of the tool is simple: [LIST] [*]Open the program with a double-click [*]Select your USB drive in “[B]Device[/B]” [*]Select “[B]Create a bootable disk using[/B]” and the option “[B]ISO Image[/B]” [*]Right-click on the [B]CD-ROM symbol[/B] and [B]select the ISO file[/B] [*]Under “[B]New volume label[/B]”, you can enter whatever name you like for your USB drive [*]You’ll receive the warning “[B]ALL DATA ON THIS DEVICE WILL BE DESTROYED[/B]”, which you can confidently confirm with “[B]OK[/B]”– at this point, you’ve ideally already saved any important files from the USB drive [*]Click on “[B]Start[/B]” [*]As soon as the green bar is full, click on “[B]Finish[/B]” [*]Eject your bootable USB drive with “[B]Safely eject hardware[/B]” [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
