Vista - Vista on 32GB flashdrive?

Hi,

From a Vista Ultimate PC is it possible to make a 32GB flash drive
with a bootable new copy of any Vista version? If not would a
bigger flash drive work?

What are the steps to make a bootable Vista externa USB hard drive?

Thanks,
viepia

Windows Vista can only be installed on an internal
hard drive. Flash drives are not designed to run
programs....they are designed for file storage only.

Sorry Carey, Soney have VAIO laptops with 32gig flash internal Hard Drive,
and a bonus 120 gig External hard drive to keep Data.

You have not been keeping up. You can install on Flash; this is the way of
the future. No more platters!!!!!

But, the cost is $3,999 for a Core 2 duo 1.2Ghz CPU, 11.1" screen

Sorry, but you are a bit confused. Sony offers a
"solid state drive" and not a conventional"flash drive"
on some of their PCs.

Hi viepia,
I have heard this can be done but I'm not sure. What I have sucessfully done is prepare a usb stick and copy the the vista dvd to it then perform an upgrade on a Xp machine to Vista Ultimate using the usb stick. No dvd drive or Vista dvd needed to do the upgrade. It was pretty kool!
