    @Zimba9810, @intruderwings -Ummmm YES you can. It has to be flashed over to the flash drive. I just don’t know how to do it but there is a write up in the Feb 2010 issue of CPU magazine that explains it. Obviously it’s too big an article to quote. Anyway I think that if you disable your storage drive and then boot from DVD to transfer over to the FDD. If I remember the article suggested a 16 Gig FDD. In any case you have the large capacity SSD available to you as well.
