    I've been trying to boot Fedora from a USB drive, I installed it using Fedora Live USB Creator, but it doesn't seem to boot (and of course, I changed the boot order on the BIOS).

    Have anyone tried booting an OS on a Sager?

    My USB pen drive is a 1GB Memorex, maybe it isn't supported on booting?

    Any help is really appreciated.

    I boot to my DOS usb stick quite happily on my M570RU.

    My corsair flash voyager shows up as a usb hard drive.

    It depends on the OS. Windows Vista does not allow installation on a USB drive.
    Maybe some of the Linux OS's can.

    Thanks for the answers, I just found the way, it didn't work on the USB port I was connecting it, I tried another one and it worked :p.
