Question about using a thumb drive as a floppy

[MrBiggz]

How u do'in?

Can you use a thumb drive as a bootable floppy? For such things as updating the BIOS? I don't have a physical floppy drive and it appears that without it you can't update the bios.

Never had a thumb drive before and their really cheap now. Just wanted to know how do you go about making it bootable and such if this is doable!

Thanks for the info!

Regards!

I dont understand what you mean

To make the drive bootable, you set it up as per the methods in the link.

To boot from the drive, set your bios or boot menu to boot from usb device.
