Default Windows XP on flash IDE drive

I am planning on building a new project in the near future.

One of the features I am attempting to add is a compact flash drive
connected through IDE which would hold windows system processes normally
run in ram.

In effect I would like to have the system shut itself down when idle and
have a minimal load time when booting back up. With everything normally
loaded into ram at bootup, stored in the flash drive instead, the only
load time would in effect be the bios boot.

What I need to know how to do is store what windows writes to ram, on
the flash drive, and have it autoboot from the drive?

The objective of the system would be a demonstration that network
systems in schools and businesses who sit at the logon screen 75% of the
time, could be shutdown and the minimal network, system and logon
processes stored in rom, drastically reducing power consumption.

Windows XP system files cannot be installed, nor redirected,
on or to a flash drive.
