Booting and using windows xp from a USB stick

[pumaz]

I have a 4GB ATV USB stick. With high speed read and write times. I would like to install windows xp and a handfull of apps as well as needed drivers. I've heard it can be done but have only ever seen reference to tiny xp's with enough on to diagnose problems and that's about all.

Does anyone know if and how to make a propper windows xp boot and run from a USB Stick?

Thanks

ps

I've tried Linux and while it does work very well I just can't get the apps I need or good substitutes.

Thanks guy's

I'm aware of the BartPe method and it's not the way I want to go because a s far as I'm aware it's not a proper installation and more of a mounted image.
