RE: Video: Create your own bootable USB flash drive for Windows XP
I also at first glance thought this was a great idea. I have been using the BartPE as a bootable Windows enviroment from a CD for a while. After weeks of messing around I got it to work (before this article) on a USB flash drive. The problem with this is in fact that it will not work on all computers. However the bootable CD will work on virtually all computers. It is not however as portable and you can certainly have more programs on your stick than a 700mb CD.

I can say however that this is an awsome tool for removing malware or windows crashes from a PC without having to mess around with the non-gui repair console. Boot to BartPE and load AVG, and a few other utilities such as registry editors and you can remove virtually anything without any problems.
