I want to make my USB flash drive bootable, what steps are required for this process?

Removable Media Recovery Frequently Asked Questions - FAQ
Most laptops now use lithium ion (LiIon) batteries. LiIons should be managed differently from the NiCad or NiMH batteries used in older laptops. In particular, LiIons should not be run all the way down to prevent "memory effect". First, they don't have a memory effect, and second, running them down tends to reduce their capacity. If the laptop does not need the battery it should be run to about 40% charge and stored in a cool place.

Essentially, for a drive to be bootable, it needs to be able to use a 512-byte block size. This usually isn't advertised as a feature, so you're better off going by brand and model.

If you take any option that makes a bootable CD, you will end up with a CD that does not boot into Linux/Knoppix.
