Boot XP from a Flash Drive?

[Cpetrie]

Would it be possible to boot XP from a flash drive, say, a 32gb one? If you set the boot order to boot to a USB port 1st? That way, to have dual boot, you just plug in your drive?

If your system supports booting from USB then it should be possible.

Ahh, interesting article. Would the speed of the flash drive affect boot time or operation speed, or both?

 

[Cromewell]

It would defiently affect the boot time. Once you've booted it should be less of a problem.

Ok, thank you.
