Why doesn't Windows 7 allow us to format a USB thumb drive as bootable? There's a Format Option to "Create an MS-DOS startup disk" on the format dialog box, but there's no way to select it with a USB thumb drive as the target. I assume that option would be available for things like floppies (if anyone had those any more). I spent most of yesterday scouring the web for a way to do this. The last time I did it, I used HP's old USB Disk Storage Format Tool. But, it looks like they've removed it from their site (I do have a copy of it, I'm just mentioning that it's been removed). Anyway, what's the problem with giving us this option within the format tool included with the OS?
