Im not in a hurry I just wanted to know if it was possible

yes it can be done

but its more of a hassle with windows than linux

and will need a larger usb drive

if its just for web browsing etc the ubuntu link wr2 gave would be a good option--especially on older hardware

the other link wr2 gave will only make it a bootable usb drive to install windows-- it wont actually let you run windows as an

operating system live from the usb

something like this for live usb

The basic .iso install on a USB drive will let him run the Recovery Console from the installation startup which might be all he needs.

If he's lucky.

the way i read his post he wants to run windows as a live OS from the usb drive as he has no cd\dvd or hard drive

like the ubuntu link you gave
