"Windows In Your Pocket : All it takes is a minor error in the Windows Registry or a virus infection, and your operating system can become unbootable. But with a properly configured USB flash drive on hand, you'll always have a compatible replacement no further away than your pocket or keychain. In addition, the flash drive can also provide a secure browser and virus scanner, and lets you take your favorite DVD burning and Office software with you wherever you may go. ...

Can this be done with eCS or OS/2?

Should work, haven't tried, but if your system can boot from an USB device then it should work. I've done this with linux system on my desktop system; just out of curious if it works or not.

eCS can boot and run entirely from a CD without installing anything on your HD.
So it should actually be a piece of cake.
You only have to figure how to get a boot image on a flash.
