    i purchased the aspire 5315 from walmart. it does not have a boot option to a flash drive.

    is it possible to set up boot to flash drive from the boot loader on the hard drive.

    i have a utility program on the flash drive. something like the ultimate boot disk.

    does anybody know of a boot loader program that will do this. i can run this program from a bootable cd. but i would rather use a flash drive.

    i would also like to boot to a esata hard drive on the express card. which my bios doesnt support either. i could dual boot but i want to boot the same operating system

    thanks for your help
