Make Windows see any USB flash drive as local disk. By default a USB flash drive is detected by Windows XP as a removable disk. This poses a couple of limitations. You cannot setup or create multiple partitions on a removable disk from Windows XP. But here is the Fix to use multi partition on USB flash drive in Windows.
It's more stable to have at least two partitions on your 4 gb pen: One FAT32 for the Linux boot system, and a larger Windows (NTFS-formatted) partition where your .vdi-file are stored. Maybe swap space in a ramdisk, if its possible.
The ntfs-partition must be made rewriteable before you start VirtualBox.
I recommend Puppy Linux 3.01, which is a small complete distro. With easy VirtualBox install possibility, for you with not so much Linux experience. Work - but little slow on 512Mb's pc.
Puppy Linux = LMAO :D xD

The virtuell XP on USB-stick have 128mb ram and 1,75gb hdd, with this Puppy distro. Free space on the 4gb stick is 0,9gb.
Smaller distro and changed free space maybe working on pc's with less than 1gb ram. Main purpose is a complete Linux system and my XP with me.
