FlashBoot подойдет как для новичков, которые раньше никогда не задавались целью создать загрузочную флешку, так и для тех, кто регулярно занимается подобными экспериментами и изучает возможности загрузчиков Syslinux и GRUB. Программа FlashBoot позволяет просто устанавливать выбранный в настройках загрузчик, который впоследствии будет использоваться для установки мини-ОС. FlashBoot умеет записывать на флешку DOS, копировать информацию о загрузочных файлах с других носителей.
Если у вас уже есть один рабочий загрузочный или мультизагрузочный USB-диск, то с помощью опции USB to USB можно быстро скопировать все данные с одного носителя на другой, включая возможность загрузки с флешки. Данная программа позволяет, если это необходимо, превратить носитель в обычную флешку, не загрузочную, отформатировав ее еще раз.

Why do you might want to use bootable USB flash disks?
Unlike the most bootable medias, bootable USB Flash keys are very handy: compared to floppies, they have much bigger size, speed and reliability, compared to CD/DVD discs, they are random write access devices, so you can backup your data to the same media where you booted from, without need to reformat (reburn) the entire media. Again, the cost per gigabyte for them continues to cut down, unlike CD/DVD discs.

Bootable USB flash disks are especially useful with netbooks like ASUS Eee PC which does not have builtin CD/DVD drive or an opportunity to install one. On the other hand, buying external CD/DVD drive for netbook is not a truly wise choice because it will be shifted out of use just after Windows is installed, thanks to widespread use of DVD image files and modern hard disk capacities.

Bootable USB flash disks are useful as boot devices on the "big" desktop PCs too, unlike CD/DVD discs they do not have sensible surface you could scratch, thus more reliable (especially when holding your backup data). If your sysadmin at work restricts PC to not to have CD/DVD drives, you still can boot from USB flash disk. Or if your home PC has CD/DVD drive failed, you can do it too.

There are some mobility considerations as well. If your laptop has a bootable CD/DVD drive, you can't work with it for a long time: boot device is accessed quite often, and battery power is obviously not enough to supply laser for a long time.

With bootable USB Flash disk, you don't have to obey a CD/DVD size limit of 700 or 4700 MB. You can buy a big or a small USB disk depending on your needs. Just after boot, on every PC, you may save your files to the same boot device, or restore them back. There's no need to reformat (reburn) the boot disk, you just copy files and folders, and there's no need for extra hardware for such operations. Of course you may do some things you can't do under your OS: copy/modify system files (they are busy when OS is running), reinstall OS, repartition your main hard disk etc.
