As far as I know, not possible with a memory stick. As far as know, all
memory stick readers install as USB devices and require Windows to load the
drivers.
However, it is possible with USB mini disks {pen drives and other names}
which install as floppy drives which your computer can recognize as a boot
device.
The key here is can your computer recognize device as a boot device and does
your device have sufficient capacity for the operating system you want to
use. You can use these devices for small operating systems such as DOS {not
just MS-DOS}. Try www.langa.com and look at the newsletter for 2004-08-19
and other recent newsletter.
Do not expect to load Windows from such a device. Depending on what you
want you may be able to accomplish your needs.
