does your bios have the option to boot from usb / removable devices?
if not, then you wouldn't be able to do so... this is most of the time the biggest problem, making the usb-disk bootable isn't so hard itself, but having a mobo which supports their use is a different story.

A quick search on AO would link you to my tutorial.

lepricaun: My bios has the option i.e. booting from removable devices (i think it refers to the USB drive)

SDK: Thanks for the help, i will check that and will reply soon.

then there might be an option too to enable or disable the usb. i have seen this before, that you can boot from usb, only when you enable the option in the bios. otherwise usb will work, but not as
a boot device..
