I wanted to know how to install a full, bootable working version of my Windows XP (I have a CD) on this awesome 16 GB Kodak USB Flash Drive. Its for personal use and only in case my old Dell 2400 bytes the big one. If it is possible, can all the software I have installed currently be re-installed on the USB after the Windows has finished installing?
Thank you.
