hi, I am new to IBM hardware. Which models if any allow you to boot from a memory stick? My T30 BIOS only shows an option to boot from a floppy drive for USB. Thanks.

Thanks for the info. Does USB Flash actually appear in the BIOS selection under Boot > USB ?

No, actually it appears as a "hard drive" in the BIOS Boot devices menu. At least that's what my Lenovo 1GB Security Memory Key does.
