    Booting Windows From A USB Drive

    .....According to the author, "Microsoft denies that booting Windows off a USB drive works... To put a long story short, this is exactly what I do now... However, it took me significant time to figure out all the painful little problems, and I was not fully happy with the current official guide by Dietmar (no pun, he was the first to make ANYthing public). I wanted an easy guide that allows creating a modified version of the Windows XP CD, for painless and transparent installation to as many systems as you want.....

    Sounds like a 'user error' to me since it worked for me as well!

    well, it was at work when I had the problem, and it did say that it was a server error, either over bandwidth or something....so it might've just been a temp issue with the site.
