I have crazy idea?

Power Increast:

BOOT from SDHC:

If my Netbook N280 that 5400rpm 160GB 2.5" HDD removed.
use SDHC to BOOT windows XP home and save data.

Is possible?

AND:

If remove 2.5" HDD, that size (KG) will thin (decrease -10%)

and Power increase (+10%)

Please!

xp is not designed to run that way but yes it can be done if bios allows usb booting.

sd is not good because xp writes back and forth all the time and would kill the card; should be pretty slow too

to save power, turn off wi-fi, bluetooth, usb ports, ethernet, reduce screen demands

have fun playing around

I try sound:

if BIOS can support BOOT from SDHC, then

(q1) When turn on power ...to... Windows ready, that [used time] is as same as HDD?

(q2) turn on WiFi and used USB mouse, need more power ?

Sorry. Please!

gonnao, I may know but I don't understand your question. If you are not a practiced English speaker, you will have to take a little more time to make sentences.
