I installed xp on a usb stick onto a sx2850,2gb ram,i3 540 and now it is painfully slow,even slower than a pentium 4 with 512mb ram.i think it is because it boots from the usb 2.0 which is very slow.but another thing i saw is the performance section of the taskmanager,they write PF(pagefile) instead of memory.i can boot from network too but i dont know where to start.i have very little experience with linux.thanks in advance.
I dont want windows pe as i want the explorer shell.alternatives to explorer are always flawed.
