I have never allowed a Vdrive to stay active on boot no reason I don't think my bios would recognize it that would be under the cdrom drives order. What about bootable xp ISO's I have 2 of them, dvd's can usb emulate udf and does Bart PE boot loader do this not sure how this would work with usb drive the bios must be able to boot from this device I know xpe boots from flash drive,could this boot from usb port?

I want something like this bootloader but for any iso file not just its linux ISOs.
