What is an optical hard drive?
A optical drive is essentially what you put CD's DVD's and install discs into.
It is risky to do so. Even with Norton 360 you would be taking a chance on infecting your computer. The best thing to do is boot your computer into safe mode, and format the USB from there.
Click Start (or press Start), then click Run (or search "Run").
A little window should pop up titled "Run," and all you have to do is click OK after pasting the following: RunDll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL hotplug.dll
The window that allows you to safely eject your flash drive will pop up like it normally would if the icon was on the bottom toolbar and you right-clicked the icon to left-click "Safely Remove Hardware."

bootable USB guide, here we assume that you are using either Vista or Windows 7 to create a bootable USB.
1. Insert your USB (4GB+ preferable) stick to the system and backup all the data from the USB as we are going to format the USB to make it as bootable.
2. Open elevated Command Prompt. To do this, type in CMD in Start menu search field and hit Ctrl + Shift + Enter. Alternatively, navigate to Start > All programs >Accessories > right click on Command Prompt and select run as administrator.
3. When the Command Prompt opens, enter the following command:
DISKPART and hit enter.
LIST DISK and hit enter.
Once you enter the LIST DISK command, it will show the disk number of your USB drive. In the below image my USB drive disk no is Disk 1.
4. In this step you need to enter all the below commands one by one and hit enter. As these commands are self explanatory, you can easily guess what these commands do.
SELECT DISK 1 (Replace DISK 1 with your disk number)
CLEAN
CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY
SELECT PARTITION 1
ACTIVE
FORMAT FS=NTFS
(Format process may take few seconds)
ASSIGN
EXIT
Don't close the command prompt as we need to execute one more command at the next step. Just minimize it.
5. Insert your Windows DVD in the optical drive and note down the drive letter of the optical drive and USB media. Here I use "D" as my optical (DVD) drive letter and "H" as my USB drive letter.
6. Go back to command prompt and execute the following commands:
D:CD BOOT and hit enter. Where "D" is your DVD drive letter.
CD BOOT and hit enter to see the below message.
BOOTSECT.EXE/NT60 H:
(Where "H" is your USB drive letter)
7. Copy Windows DVD contents to USB.
You are done with your bootable USB. You can now use this bootable USB as bootable DVD on any computer that comes with USB boot feature (most of the current motherboards support this feature).
Note that this bootable USB guide will not work if you are trying to make a bootable USB on XP computer.

How do you change a word file that's on a memory stick to a CSV file?
It would help if we knew the contents of your word file and if it has formatting (text styles), as well as how it's set up.
Without formatting, you can try this: just copy and paste it into a regular txt file. Then, open it with Excel. Choose the delimiters you want when it prompts you. Delimiters are the characters that determine if what follows after it should go in a new column. For instance, you could have every space be a delimiter so that whenever it encounters a space, it'll add a new cell/column. Tabs are common delimiters.
Then, save as, as a csv file. I believe most csv files are actually plain text files anyway-with a different file extension. So, you'd have to choose your delimiters with those, too. If you don't want to do that, then save it as an xls file instead.
This may or not help you with what you're wanting. Is this for email?
How do you play minecraft straight from a flash drive?
My friend tried to do this at school and it becomes rather complicated to where it isn't worth it. You bring the minecraft application on your usb, your .minecraft folder if you want to play in your worlds previously made at home, or you have mods installed (you get to your .minecraft folder by going to the start button on your desktop, type in run, then type in %appdata% and click on Roaming. This folder and everything in it is what the game runs off of. You can crag and drop this into your usb and place it on the new computer in the same location, tehn replace it when you get back home and it will run perfectly). You have to get the Java Development Kit in some way of the computer. And thats about it!

What is the best source for hardware drivers?
If you need a driver for something in a custom built computer or a component added that wasn't from the factory, try the manufacturer's website first. If you need motherboard drivers for your onboard video, Google your motherboard manufacturer and see if you can get it this way. This isn't always easy because a lot of the companies are overseas and you may get sites in complete Japanese!
My third suggestion is http://www.driverguide.com. You will have to make an account, but it's a really great site and it's worth it. Here you can find a driver for just about anything imaginable! There's a wizard where you choose your type of device (motherboard, graphics card, modem, etc.) then you choose your manufacturer then you search for specifics to find your driver.
Let me know if you need more info.
