not sure why it shouldnt work.

I have no programs at work to create or burn an iso. so its either attempt this, or download a bunch of crap

create+burn iso doesn't magically make things bootable. Sometimes you can download bootable ISOs, but *making* one is a pain in the ass -- nm - Beryllium Nov 25, 14:50 7

        usb drives can be made bootable, but ... I dunno. I haven't done that, myself. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 25, 15:13 1
