Right, that IS what happened back in the days of Win 95/98 etc. Guess I never tried it with XP, but good to know what you pointed out - thanks!
Flashboot would be better but I haven't figured out how to do that yet without a USB-boot BIOS option. "knoppix toram" didn't work, I don't know why.
Try this sometime: put the flash drive in and run the flash install utility if you have not done that yet, then reboot and
Code:
knoppix fromhd=/dev/sdb1
That works for me, but your drive numberings may differ.
