I'm sure I read about someone that had written/found a guide on how to create an installation of windows on a USB hard drive that you could boot directly to.

Did a quickish search and can't seem to find the thread.
Anyone got any ideas on what I could be thinking about. It's not just a usb memory stick - can't be anyway, because I don't have a big enough one - max is 2gb, though I do have a 30gb USB hard drive lying around.

What I want to be able to do, and i'm sure this is possible, is have a portable version of windows that could be taken to anywhere, and provided the system could boot from USB, it would do that.

Involved a lot of hacking around with cab files etc. iirc.

cheers
 
I'm certain there was an article someone posted where a hard disk was used, connected via USB.
