Grasshopper:
In my previous post I said that my motherboard (Asus A7V8X) did not have the facility to boot from a USB device. At least that is what it says on Asus' website. According to them only the newer A7V8X-X revision of the board has this facility.

But as I was already on Asus' site I decided to update my motherboard's BIOS to the latest version anyway.

Updating a BIOS always scares me a bit but it went ok.

I then went to the boot options and looked under removable devices. Holy $h*t two new options: USB FDD and USB ZIP!

So I'm now wondering whether it is possible to configure a pen drive so that the BIOS sees it as either a USB floppy or USB ZIP drive. If that's possible then I'm in business.
