You will come across 2 versions of it. One is a "creator" that lets you
build your own bootable disc. The other is just an .iso file that was
already created by someone else, which is technically not legal due to
M$ licensing, but that is the one I used and frankly in an emergency
situation I did not care about being legal for the 3 hours that I used
it for. If windows didn't suck so much I wouldn't have gotten so
thoroughly infected and I wouldn't need just a specialized boot disk to
clean it...but I digress :)

though: it seems that this was made to be installed. Is that so?

Having this Windows ramdisk on a Flash disk, you MUST have
copied it correctly - it's going to need a partition of it's
own (RAMDISKs are like boot floppies); next you will need a
BIOS that allows you to specify a USB device in boot order.
This is a complex process in itself.
I can see you are spoiled by Nix? Under Linux you can
download any iso and loop mount it, then copy it in total to a
new drive, edit it and reburn it.
In this way, one can trivially change any distro you provide
for an InstallFest, or as a gift for a new "trainee".
You can brand your own installs, script additional features or
process startups (tunnels), preconfigure example files (hosts,
sshd_config [certain characters in files {alt255 on keypad}
will keep any line from running while it appears in the config
file], recompile top/ls/df to do whatever you might like, or
simply run a script to add a rootkit for instance.
I suggest that your repair ramdisk be made following the
instructions - /*just use a CD*/.

I was hoping that what i could do is drag-n-drop the drive
onto an icon and not need to burn a cd. That way I could
update it at home nd bring the flash-drive to the job.

Mike,
Once you boot the disc (it takes a frighteningly long
time to boot up
windows from a super-compressed CD), it will ask you
first which shell
to launch, the default one is fine. Then it will ask
if you want to
bring up the network interfaces. choose yes and just
accept the defaults
(assuming DHCP). Then once you are online you can for
instance launch
SpyBot Search & Destroy (one of the AV tools), and use
the built-in
update function. It will connect to their server and
download the
updates (to the RAMDISK) and then restart (spybot S&D
restarts). You can
then do a scan with the newest updates.
You can also use the web browser, etc, if you want to
download install
your own program (if its small enough to fit in the
ramdisk).
