Hello all,
I was wondering how advancements in flash memory have come.
Is it feesable to get a couple of flash drives..40gb etc..
and load windows XP on it and boot from it (run paris from it)
and stream audio from another flash drive?
Speed, reliablity, benefits?????
Thanks,
Brandon

Can you even boot from a flash drive???
Just a thought... you can (in most BIOS) choose a CD-R/DVD
drive or a USB CD-R/DVD drive as your fist boot drive... what
about the feasibility of loading a bootable XP-OS CD-R, if
you're looking for something along those lines?
You'd set your BIOS preferences to boot the a-Drive first, CD-
R/DVD drive 2nd, then your C-drive 3rd... if there wasn't a
bootable CD in the floppy or CD-R/DVD drive, then it would just
boot into the OS you normally have it set up on your C-drive.
What are you trying to achieve with this setup, more
importantly? Maybe a simple dual-boot hard drive setup would be
best.
