Samsung NC10 - How to Boot from Thumb Drive

I searched the web, YouTube, and forums to find out how to boot this Samsung NC10 netbook from USB. Each and every one said hit F2 and enter bios to change boot order. well I hit F2 to check if it recognized my 4 gig thumb drive... it did not. So I tried a different 4gig thumb drive it did not. Then I tried a Micro SD Reader, it did not work. After entering bios each time it did not show up on the boot list. I figured there had to be a way to boot from the USB device. After hours of playing around with the computer I started hitting the F command keys while the machine was booting. I found out that the key to hit is F9.

That's right to boot your computer using your thumb drive hit F9.

Do you want to know why I wanted to boot from you thumb drive? Well I wanted to get rid of the Win XP operating system and Give Lenux Ubuntu a try and see how that works.
