    Hello

    I have an X60 Tablet. According to bios setting this machine will boot to a USB CD drive. My question is will it boot to a USB Flash Drive.

    Thanks in advance.

    Only one way to find out :)

    Make sure you have your bootable USB flash drive inserted>> Power on X60 (or restart if already on) >> press F12 at boot splash screen>> your bootable USB might be one of the options to boot from

    Pretty sure I tried this before... if everything is in order with your bootable drive, it should work.

    Sure it does. I have installed the OS in all my X6xx using a USB drive.

    Make sure to put "-USB HDD" on first place in the BIOS and make also sure you get an USB stick that can be made bootable. This may sound silly but a couple of times I got surprises with "el cheapo" sticks :(
