Install An OS From A Flash Drive?

Well I Just Got A New Barebone System, And The CD drive i had is actually broken, So Is There Any Way I Can Install My OS From A FlashDrive? I Dont Want To Live Boot, I Want To Fully Install My OS to my new PC. Right now I Have The OS written As An ISO Where Do I Go From Here?

Sure you can. I have a strong Linux bias so I’ve seen plenty of documentation for it. Since you haven’t specified an OS or distro, I’ll be OS Agnostic and link to documentation for a couple of OSes:

Now, believe me when I tell you you can install any OS you want from a Flash Drive. Aren’t you glad you asked?
