Is it possible to boot from a flash drive so I ca lets say install a operation system for dual boot?

Yes... It needs to be in your bios settings though... Check them...

Yeah, it's all do-able.
Are you looking to install the operating system from USB or run a live version of an operating system from it (as many linux distros offer)?
Just do a quick google for whatever you need to find and I'm sure tutorials will come up on the first few hits.

I use Slax. Thanks to Karakawe for posting it some time ago. :3

I mean like installing a whole new os onto my computer from a image on a flashdrive

Yeah, Slax is a good choice for a Live OS since for the space it takes up, it's got great hardware support and functionality. DSL is small, but compatibility is often an issue when it comes to using it. And distros like Ubuntu are simply so large and packed with unneeded extras (for a live operating system), I would never use it without installing it.

UNetbootin is an extremely good program for creating a bootable USB. I use it all the time so I can boot into different linux distros on my EEE PC since I don't have an external CD/DVD.
