I have one USB flash drive from Lexar via which I would like to boot & run some Linux distros. My laptop BIOS is capable of booting from both USB flash drives as well as USB hard drives. However it doesn't detect the flash drive as a bootable device. So I played around with it and used the LEXAR BootIt (v1.07) to flip the removable bit and convert it to a USB hard drive. My laptop BIOS now detects it as a bootable device. However now UNetbootin doesn't detect the flash drive both as an USB Drive or Hard Disk, which it used to detect as a USB Drive prior to flipping the removable bit (i.e. as a flash drive). So now I am not able to put a Linux ISO in it.
