Congratulations Tomot, you've successfully taken the thread off-topic.
Next time please start a new topic.Huh? Tomot explained (very clearly) the process of how he has managed to boot his entire PC from a 4Gb flash memory- how on earth is that off-topic?

I tried it, including SU. Very nice intention behind this program. Easy to setup and works like a charm.
But as I tried to use it on a PC where I can't logon with administrative permissions it didn't work.
I'm teaching SU on a college and wanted to show the students how my personal SU with all the plugins looks and works like (esp. the paid scripts) and it failed. Too bad.
Beside I was missing an easy-to-use-encryption. By placing all my valuable
scripts on a usb pen i may loose, anyone who finds it could browse through the (program files) folders (i think i was reading about improvements on this in the newest version...).For everyone having access to several pcs with admin permissions i would recommend it. Its a nice, "cheap" and better working alternative to thinstall
-just my opinion
SketchUp can actually be run from a USB drive IF the host computer has dotnet framework installed.
See my discussion at

I use it pretty much every day at work on a machine I do not have admin privileges on.

Windows XP only, but this little application (there is a free version) seems to be able to run applications portably even if they're not made as a portable application.
This might be true, but there is a MAJOR gotcha. You have to have administrative privileges on the host machine.

Kinda defeats the purpose.
Something called MojoPac Usher can be installed on the host machine, but you have to have administrative privileges on the host machine to do so.
Too bad, this could have been very useful!
