It cannot be run from a cd, nor can it be run from an external drive without
some 'fiddling'
I have seen a card reader to IDE device that its info states can be used to
run an o/s from a card. A poster in a win2k group states he has used such,
allthough not without some problems

Hi folks

does anyone know if it is possible to run Windows XP on a system
without a hard drive?

I was thinking of creating a 'hard-drive-less-system' running Windows
XP, but does the O/S require one, or can it be run purely from a CD?

Is this type of thing feasible?

Or if you know of any place that sells such a system I would be
interested.
