Hows the speed considering that usb sticks don’t have the best read/write/seek speeds?
Hows the performance off a usb using ubuntu?

im going to try this… I have a really good pc that had a hard drive failure so as I was putting a new one in it, my brother said i was doing it wrong(I did it right) and he couldn’t get his hand in it and ended up ripping out something for the disk drive, and now it doesn’t open and the Hard Drive has no OS on it, so im going to put Linux on it with USB

Which USB drive do you need, that are usable for booting. Does anyone have a list or manual of the procedure you have to do in order to make the boot drive?

He probably just didn’t remove U3 from the sandisk ones. I have two, 4GB Sandisks with U3 removed and they both boot perfectly on my Dell Mini 10v.

the memory you lost was taken by the file system tables. fat32 has very simple file system tables and therefore takes up only a small amount of space. ntfs is more complex and optimized for larger hard drives, so it takes up a little more space. your physical drive still stores the same amount of data, it’s just that some of that data is used by the system.

when they are talking about booting a USB OS, do they mean from restarting the PC and going to BIOS or open something like a virtual OS inside a PC OS ?

I do this with my MP3 Player. I’ve got a version of Slax on it. It runs pretty well.
