Put more things on a bootable flash drive?

As far as I know (and please correct me if I'm wrong) when creating a bootable flash drive, all information on the drive is erased. Will the following create a problem?

  1. Adding files after the bootable flash drive is created

  2. Moving all of the bootable flash drive files to one folder (and returning them to their original location when I have to boot from it)

In most cases, as long as there is enough space both of those scenarios should work alright. A bootable flash drive still has a normal filesystem and if its a writable filesystem like FAT32, NTFS or EXT, it would let you copy files in.

While the bootloader would look for specific files by location (and this should work), moving the files back and forth might mess with permissions.

It would be simpler to add the files to their own folder, within the file system hierachy of whatever OS it uses IMO, but taking into account these considerations, this should work

Deferentially it will create the problem actually system will not copy the hidden system file from flash drive to your system
so you have to change the option from Tool-> folder Option and in that show system files and then it will show you at that time you can copy but I am not pretty sure about that It will work like a Bootable Flash drive.
