Asm bootstrapping

Hello everybody, some time ago I made a bootstrap program written in asm and I'm wondering if it would be likely to do the same with a usb memory or is it a difficult task?.

I'm not very good in asm by the way.

Regards.

Keep in mind that it depends on the BIOS as to whether or not it supports booting from USB (most modern BIOSes do, but mine doesn't, for instance).
