Is it possible to install Windows 7 on to a USB flash drive? And then boot from that drive. At 32 gig they are plenty big enough for the OS. If somebody could tell me how, I would surely appreciate it.

OK, here's the reason. The latest Camsoft software requires recent firmware upgrades to the Galil cards to run at all. BUT, it is not possible to install Galil Tools for the firmware upgrade without crashing Camsoft. The drivers for the Galil card from the two companies are incompatible. This has been a known issue for years.

If the above idea is not possible, I could use another suggestion. I'll have three machines to maintain this way.
