one person has a dying HDD in a laptop so I'm looking for a soliton...

taking in to accaunt that she already bought a replacement laptop, and that old laptop might just be used for browsing the internet, I'm thinking of either a HDD replacement or a bootable OS.

in case I go with a bootable OS, I want to know if its even an option.

I forgot to ask what OS was there. It should be either W7 or W XP. (and yes I know that W8 can be bootable).

So is it possible to use a bootable flash Windows 7 and windows XP.

Does it mean that other programs can be used with it (skype, media players, something else) or is it limited just by OS and internet?

thanks
