    Ask yourself.... What help was this? I know the OP just asked "is there software" and you did answer the question, but it didn't help in the slightest.

    Are you looking for freeware or payed software?

    Lol, I see you're done here. :P

    The only way I know about making a flash drive bootable is to install Portable Linux on it.
    www.pendrivelinux.com

    There are many different distributions of Linux and off the top of my head, I know I have tried this one successfully:

    Remember, to boot from the flash drive, you must select it as first in the BIOS Boot Order.

    Pendrive Linux is Free by the way.

    Forgive me.
    The question was just so vague. There was no information about what he wanted to boot or the computer that he was using. He didn't even say what he was trying to do other than boot to a flash drive.

    No worries, I would have done the same thing.

        Well for starters, you cannot install it on a Flash Drive to begin with.
