Wich is faster. With CF - SATA adapter or just put to the CF slot in front of PC? (USB I think?) And is it good idea to just buy an CF card to boot windows? Will it be much faster than normal HDD? I'm planning to buy an Transcend 32GB 400X card. :)

did you have to muck with the EWF?

Buy a Compact Flash to IDE adaptor, put your CF card into the Compact Flash connector and your hard drive cable into the IDE end. Then install Windows normally. Some people use software to make custom, smaller XP installations but this isn't 100% necessary.
When installed, you should set up Virtual Memory so it's on a regular HDD to make sure your CF card lasts longer.

how do you do this?

How long have you bin using this setup ?
The reason I ask is that I have read about a lot of people, burning of the card by doing this, somthing about the swap drive, and writing to much info to the card.
And yes i really want to throw out my old hdd, in my Windows 98 laptop and replace it with an adapter and card :P
To save weight and give more speed to the old machine, plus my old hdd is broken, sow i only use half of the disk :(
