Is there such a thing as portable windows?
I want to base my computer on linux – ubuntu 7.10, but i have programs that can only be used by windows, is there a way to install windows on a flash drive, or have a windows live cd? or do i have to just dual OS my computer?

Linux live cd?
I have a linux live cd, which I have not booted up yet. Since I do not have an external hard drive, will it be risky? Can I avoid any risks if i buy a flash drive?
linux live cd for extra security has anybody given any thought to that?
I have been thinking on my next round of computers when all my HDs die this time I may just run live CDs. on all my boxes. I am running linux mint now with no problems but got to thinking how much more secure it would be done like this I can download to a flash drive when needed. it would save me the expense of new HDs has anyone given any thought to such a thing mine are all home use net browsing and such. I imagine security would be better this way also. any thoughts pros cons anything I may not be thinking about thanks guys
probly DSL, linux mint and knoppix 3.3 are the OSs I am thinking on using for this purpose

Linux newbie here…Why won’t my LiveCD recognize both of my hard drives?
My WinXP hard drive recently crashed. I can still access it using my LinspireLive CD, but my slave drive doesn’t show up. My flash drive shows up as a dos disk, and my corrupted drive shows up as winxp, but my slave drive doesn’t show up at all. (I assume it would show up as a dos disk because there is no OS on it.) I tried booting up under Linspire Live without the flash drive plugged in, but the slave drive still did not show up. I would like to be able to move my important files from the corrupted drive to the slave drive. How can I get Linux to recognize my slave drive so that I can do this? (I’m relatively new to Linux so be gentle…LOL)
