Same with the bootable software, there are ways to manually set up a Virtual Machine so that it boots from USB, but they are a bit complex. Virtual Machine USB Boot is a portable tool that makes it easy to boot a virtual machine - VirtualBox or QEMU - from a USB key. It is much more straightforward, so simple that beginners will have it working in seconds, yet also super-configurable for anyone who needs some fine-tuning.
