[ltp] Re: Thinkpads can not boot from flash drive?

[Joel Ebel]

The advantages of the Elite are speed (it is very fast), and hardware 
encryption.  The Data traveler is just as bootable as the Elite.  I 
don't care about hardware encryption, but the speed sure is a nice 
feature.  Once again, there is no 'boot protocol'.  If the drive is a 
standard usb-storage device, it can be booted on a computer that 
supports it.
