I'm sure that it will power-on and show you the loading screen, but you can expect to crash and recieve a BSOD in a few seconds.

Hello yvesj,

Yep, it should still boot, but you'll get a "no HDD detected" type error. :)

Nope. It will not not mess anything up. It'll light up, and that'll be about it until you finish it. :)

I wonder if you set up the CMOS to boot from the USB drive as the first option, that it would let you run without a hard drive. Of course, you'd need to have a complete OS installation on the USB drive. But if there's a mandatory check for a boot sector on C: as a core part of Vista and W7 boot up functionality, then it wouldn't be possible.

That thing looks like a photo copier from an office building somewhere in the future, not a computer. ;)
