Is it possible to load XP on one of those thumb things with memory
that fits into the USB 2 port and boot the system with it? |

I tried using BARTPE but couldn't get it to work on a Dell XPS 600. |

Thanks for the reply. I read through the link you provided and decided
it was simply beyond my ability.
Think I will try an external drive using USB 2 although I wonder if it
slows everything down to use an external USB drive.
Any idea? |

Yes, USB 2.0 is slower than ATA133 or SATA disc access, but it is usable.
