It should be - I have the USB boot option in my BIOS (it's a fairly new notebook - HP nx6125). I have the option of a boot menu, which lets me select hard disc, optical drive or USB disc. If the USB drive is not plugged in, it doesn't show on that menu, so I know the BIOS can see it.
I guess I'll have to ask IT to install a CD-ROM for me (could take days).
