Bootable USB Key and Free Magazines for DCoTers

Boot disks are so passe. All the cool kids (read ubergeeks) at the very least use bootable CDs. But, if you want to be one of the geek elite (or 1337), you are going to want to go for the bootable USB drive.

But how does one go about obtaining this new elevated nerd status? Well, PC Magazine has a very good article about just how to make a bootable USB key. Very cool!

I have been using a bootable USB drive with this solution for some time now. The article that I followed was one from Fred Langa of the Langalist which he wrote for InformationWeek. Both articles are very similar but if you get stuck on one, you can always look to the other for help.
