Good day, would I possibly be able to boot off of a internal hard drive that is being hooked up through an adapter allowing an internal hard drive to act as a usb, is it possible to boot from this?
 
a SATA drive connected via a USB adapter can function as a regular USB drive but it will depend on your motherboard and the BIOS setup how the drive is read. many times these drives are not accessible until after Windows has loaded.

the easiest option is probably to just buy another USB flash drive. you can find these almost anywhere nowadays. in the U.S. Big Lots, Walmart, even a lot of dollar stores and convenience stores carry decent sized USB drives for pretty cheap.
