[Thinkpad] USB Thumb drives

Hello all:

My Thinkpad does not have a floppy drive and instead of purchasing an old
technology, I'd rather pick up one of those mini (USB) thumb type drives.
I have noticed that some companies who advertise these drives say their
specific brand is "BOOTABLE".

Are some bootable and some not? Can one of these mini USB drives be made to
be a boot drive?

A friend lent me one of these drive and we put the necessary boot files on
the drive, however, when I boot up my laptop I get a message that the
current drive does not support boot...............

Any ideas aside from getting a 3.5" floppy drive..........

Thanks in advance,
Steve
