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.

Offtek.co.uk |
The USB Flash Drive has two partitions on there. One is a 1.44MB size (size of the floppy disk) and the other is the remainder of the flash memory. If your PC/MAC is not showing both partitions then there could be one of two things wrong (not serious). On the side of the pen is a write-protect switch. Move the switch to the unlock sign and plug it into your USB socket. You should now have two drives in Windows Explorer. Make sure that you eject the device safely before moving any switches.
