I have a 4 gb Microdrive that came out of a Gateway Mp3 player. Is there anyway to use it to boot through the UBS

You might be able to format it and make it bootable

I found this out in a strange way. I left my jump drive in the USB port, restarted the computer and it asked if I should boot from the jump drive. Some MOBO's support this function. Mainly check the BIOS and the manufacture of the MOBO.
