A:Answer I can't help you, other than to tell you there are programs that you can use that will put an operating system on a hard drive. I tried to once and everything came up like it was supposed to, but I forgot the problem I had, it may have been an activation thing. If its xp, you'd have to put it on the flash drive first (of course). Linux comes up with this stuff all the time, but that wouldn't help you. But, yes you can.
