Alright, I've got a legal copy of XP, and I'm downloading tinyXP right now. I'm assuming I can probobly use the same CD key with it.

I have a dell inspiron 3500 with NO CD-rom drive, just a floppy disc drive and battery. I've got linux running on it now, and have the ability to hook up the laptop to my PC.

I'd really like to be able to boot an image of it off the HDD, using either the floppy disc drive or a flash drive or something.

If you need any other info, ask! Otherwise, help me out! Thanks in advance.

I think I kind of implied it, but it does have USB. I don't have the option to boot from USB, though. otherwise... I would just do that. :P
