Anyone ever tried installing windows XP SP3 (or SP1 or 2 for that matter) on a USB flash drive? There's a lot on the internet about installing from a flash drive, but not much about installing TO a flash drive.
I might be putting together a system on the cheap, and I'm trying to figure out if I can avoid buying a real hard drive. I have a 16GB SDHC card and a USB2.0 reader, originally for my camera, but as I also have an 8GB card...I don't really *need* the 16GB card. I thought I'd use it as a hard drive for this system. All the system will do is boot up and display pdfs, so I'm not too concerned with speed. Still, if it doesn't stand a good chance of working or if it'll be neanderthal-slow, I'd probably just get a normal HD. Thanks!
