Be sure to let us know what you find out but until the bios of the machines are standardized to boot USB external devices the same way I don't see a solution in sight. For me, carrying around a 3½ BartPe CD in my shirt pocket is more than enough to make me look like the king of all repair techs at parties such when we get the while you're here could you look at my computer as if it wasn't a planned question as I don't want to look too prepared. ;-) --+-- Wayne D.

Re: [H] OT: Installing and running XP from USB thumbdrive
This is more of Will my machine boot a USB mass-storage device Will Windows setup see it allow me to install to it question than specifically USB thumb drives. Good writeup, wonder if there is a boot loader redirect (System Commander, Lilo, etc...) solution for systems with BIOS' that don't do bootstrap for USB drives. Of course MS says it won't work, it would require them to make the changes from the article or an OEM provided Press F6 additional drivers solution. V. Cool, think I'll Digg it.
