I wouldn't try it with less than a gig. I still haven't gotten this to work. That would depend on the size of the key. I wouldn’t try it with less than a gig. I still haven’t gotten this to work.

It's pretty much all command line work. You have to download this AIK thing, burn the DVD, install dot net 2.0. OK fine. Then figure out how to make a USB drive's FAT32 partition active primary, which is for some reason maddeningly difficult. If I could find a simple straightforward utility to do this it would probably be a snap. And don't reply "Fdisk, you ass" unless you have a link to download it and know that it will make a 32 bit primary active partition on a USB drive. from what I am reading from the DVD contents, the USB key will have a (very) miniature Vista OS on it, it will not run more than 72 hours continuously. You will need some ram in the PC though. I was messing around with this today and it’s a bitch. It’s pretty much all command line work.

Or am I going to need a vista disk to make this worth anything? So…is worth downloading if you don’t have a Vista-installed PC? Or am I going to need a vista disk to make this worth anything?
