During troubleshooting, a technician needs to reinstall Windows on a laptop whose internal drive has failed. The BIOS lists only removable media devices. Which of the following items could the technician prepare so the system can load the installation files and begin the operating-system setup?
A USB flash drive can be made bootable by copying or imaging an operating-system installer to it, allowing the computer to load the setup program even when the internal drive is dead. DDR2 is a type of volatile system memory, HDMI is a digital audio/video interface, and FDISK is a disk-partitioning command-none of these are standalone storage devices that the BIOS can boot from.
