Can I use a flash drive and install an Operating system on it... like say xp or vista...So basically I want it to function like the solid state drives. Is it possible if yes how and if not why not? Thanks in advance for all your input.
Can you give me a bit more details on how to go by it. and would it function much faster than using the traditional hard drives. because i have heard boot time on ssd are abt 4-5 seconds. ANY HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED.
 
i think you can. i havent tried it yet, but recently, i installed windwos xp on one of my pc. and it lets you choose which drive that is found on your pc, you want to install xp to. so if i had my usb in there, i think it would have installed it on there.
