One more comment, if you're going to try this anyway, make sure you disconnect your primary hd before trying to install to the usb drive. Odds are it will corrupt your primary when trying to load windows to the usb drive... mow

Hey guys, I hate to rain on your parade but windows does not allow you to boot from a usb device. What happens is during the boot process windows re-initializes the usb devices which in turn disconnects the primary drive because it is a usb device. When this happens windows freaks out and crashes. I have tried this a few times and yes I have 2 different new boards that support booting from usb. I believe there may be some linux distributions that this may work on but as for windows, as of right now, it does not. Just my two sense... mow
