I am running win xp on a raid 0 and have some programs I woud like to run on win 98se, is there a way to install win 98 on an external usb drive (or a flash drive for that matter) and boot to it?
I kind of doubt that. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "rik" wrote in message news:198FE110-BD6B-4400-9CEF-FD3277263410@microsoft.com... >I am running win xp on a raid 0 and have some programs I woud like to run >on > win 98se, is there a way to install win 98 on an external usb drive (or a > flash drive for that matter) and boot to it?

USB memory sticks used to have a limited write cycle before they failed completely. running an OS on one of those sticks CAN make it fail early, if the USB sticks still have that limitation.
