If I went to www.bootdisk.com and loaded boot files onto my flash drive, would the flash drive boot?
What about a CD?

Does your motherboard support booting from USB? If so, then flash drives are bootable. You just have to load the files correctly, just like a hard drive. You can look around and see if bootable CD ISO's are available.

Ok.
Now, I know I can do a google search.
But this is something that I want recommended to me by an experienced user
Are there any Linux or other operating systems that are no more than 20MB that could fit on my flash drive?
Thanks for any helpful posts!

*censored* Small Linux is 50 megs. Anything smaller and you probably would not like it or have any use for it.

This is a quite usable product. Download and burn as an ISO to a CD and boot with that.
