Install Vista from 16GB flash drive
I keep reading that any flash memory above 4GB cannot be used to install an OS because it's not bootable. True or false? I'd really like to copy and paste the files onto my 16GB corsair voyager and install vista on my netbook.

You could give it a try, it doesn't take that long to copy everything from the DVD.

4 gig should be enough and here is the link on how to make a flash drive bootable for OS install.
