Try Linux.

Hope it helps, Rowan.

yeh you could it because youhave the usb as the masterdrive.. if you just didnt have an internal disk.. then when you go to install.. it will only have one place to install it from.. although im not sure it would work if you tried to plug it into another pc.. beware!
