Booting from USB disk

On the older PCs there is no option to boot from the USB port. That is a predicament that I faced. The CD-ROM drive has failed and there is no built in network port.

With only a working floppy drive and USB ports, I used the PLop Bootmanager to install a boot manager which gives me options to boot from various devices (CD-ROM, HD, USB) even if the BIOS doesn't support.
