you can burn a bootable image to it without too muc trouble, but does the bios have an option to allow you to boot from there

I can boot from a diskette, hard drive or a USB device in that order. Seems to me if I made a bootable image of my hard disk on a SSD via USB, that would be a much better recovery option than the standard " load XP then user files" process. OK, if that's so, how do I go about making a mirror image on an SSD card?
