there is a way to make a USB flash drive bootable but I only read about it, never tried it.

If your tired of burning discs then use re-writables.

Yeah it can be done, what you have to do is drag all files from that nlited ISO to the root directory of the flash drive and you may have to rename it to whatever the label is on the ISO (IT being the flash drive)

and make sure your motherboard supports booting from flash drive....
