Hello,
just wondering if it is possible to boot a Raspberry Pi from a USB stick instead of a Micro SD card?
Thanks,
Vincent.

Hey Vincent,
If you are using one of the newer Raspberry Pi boards you are able to boot from a USB drive. There is a tutorial by the Pi foundation that details how to do it.

Thanks Clinton,
it worked really well,
I used a old 8 GB USB stick I had sitting around and downloaded/flashed the NOOBS zip onto it.
Same method as flashing a Micro SD card.:grinning:
