multiple OS

[Guest]

is it possible to run an operating system on another type of externa
media, or memory device, like a thumb drive or flash card? i'm awar
of partitioning the hard drive in order to run multiple operatin
systems, but i would like to boot and run an OS (2000 or XP) off of something othe
than the hard drive itself. the bios options on the computer onl
allows for a boot up on the cd drive, floppy drive, or hard drive
thanks in advance for your hel

If you replace the motherboard with one that provides USB boot
capability then you could. I don't believe 2000 or XP could be one of
the operating systems tho.

You can run a bare-bones version of WinXP off a CD - see here:
