摘要

One embodiment of a bootable Universal Serial Bus (USB) memory device system provides a system and method for booting a processor using a bootable solid-state memory device. Briefly described, the embodiment comprises a USB connector configured to couple to a USB port of a processing system, a solid-state memory coupled to the USB connector, a boot record residing on the solid-state memory, and an operating system residing on the solid-state memory, wherein the boot record is configured to cause the processing system when executing a Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) program during a boot process to access the operating system using a logical block address (LBA) format.
