Running XP from a USB drive??
Is it possible to run XP from a USB drive? Say you had a computer without any OS on the HD, could this be done?
I know there is the MS verification issue, but could you do it for a short time. |

I was just thinking, DOS would work fine for diagnostics from a USB drive, Although I don't know of any DOS that allows you to read NTFS and delete, add, move files.
