Hey i was just wandering if you can boot from a USB

Yes you can boot from USB mediums, as long as the laptop/computer supports booting from USB.

 

[Dumbassdenny]

how do you tell if you can? and if so how do you do it?

There will be an option in the boot sequence of your BIOS ... USB-HDD or something similar. Would help if we had the model number of the motherboard you're using.

One of the more popular tools for creating a bootable usb is the HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool.
