I lost my USB stick.
Can I use a Clickfree backup drive as a bootable drive? What if it has a lot of backup data on it? Do I need to format it?
Does the bootable image need to be burned or can I just copy the file to it?

Re: Creating a bootable drive
Not a good idea. At a minimum you'll have to format it to make it bootable. A 8 to 16 GB USB 2 pendrive is $5-$10, just pick up one of those.
Re: Creating a bootable drive
Are you sure you are going do that with a Clickfree backup,to create a bootable drive,people are doing more with a USB or DVD/CD.
Maybe i can help you if you are interested in creating a bootable DVD/CD.

Yes, it's possible. You don't need to "burn" anything (it's a flash, not a DVD) but you will need to repartition the drive. Walmart has some Hello Kitty 8GB flash drives for approx. $6.
