I have a Medion MDJUKE220(20gb), and i was wondering if i could be able to install Windows XP onto it so that i could boot off of it when i am not on my personal computer, and want to run my programs. What can i do?

How much money?

It may be possible. Begin your journey to "Windows XP Embedded" seminars to learn how XP is ported to other platforms.

Then you'll travel to the maker of the device to get the details and the development kits plus more information to get going.

In short, this may take a few years.

That would be awesome to have all of your personal info and stuff from your computer on your device...

There are new devices such as that.

However I fear the battery life is too short or the device grows too large. A nice one is the Palm LifeDrive, but this is the first of such devices you'll see in the next year.
