    Have the G60JX here...


    Anyone try or able to boot off a flash drive? I have some games that I would like to play that are XP only.

    Thanks!

    correct me if i'm wrong, but I didnt think you could make a bootable usb drive for xp (maybe with a special piece of software or something). I'd always heard of making a linux based usb bootable drive for diagnostics/etc

    What a pain. Can someone create a business selling a USB key pre-loaded with XP or Windows 7 Starter that just asks for a valid Windows Key the first time it boots.

    I'd pay good money for that! :) Thanks for the link tho.

    Cheers,
