I have a usb mp3/movie player with 20GB of space, far more than I ever need. Because I carry around all of that extra space I would like to install Windows 2000 to the USB drive. (Dont worry, I'll take care of getting the mp3 player to keep working) I dont want Win 2k to run on the mp3 player, just to be able to boot up a computer connected to it via a USB line. My problem is in getting windows 2000 setup to recognize the USB drive. It doesnt show up on the list of valid locations to install to.

Though this is not specific to your product the basics apply to any Flash Media which adheres to the ATA66 spec....
