USB drive booting help? - Derek275 - 11-06-2012

I was wondering if anyone had any videos on how to change the settings on Windows 7 to boot from a USB drive and how to change It back to boot to my regular Windows 7 in case I decide I don't like Ubuntu? I'm fairly new to Linux so any other tutorials on it would be appreciated, too

Switching your computer to boot to a USB drive is usually done in your motherboard's BIOS. When your computer is booting up, spam F2, F10, DEL, or whatever key is delineated as the "setup" key. Then, in the BOOT menu, move the USB device to high priority. You should be ready to go.

And, with this setup, can I unplug the USB drive and it boot to the regular OS?
