How to Boot Chrome OS from USB?

This version of the Google operating system will be run off a USB drive, so naturally you will need a USB storage device of some type. The image file size is 2,988,442,112 bytes, so we recommend at least a 4GB drive and preferably 8GB of storage space. The files on the USB drive that you have should be backed up if you need them as they will be deleted during this process.

Using local drives from remote connection session

First, open the Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection (Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Communications -> Remote Desktop Connection). Then click on the Options button and go to the Local Resources tab. The bottom section of the tab is titled Local Devices, and there you will see a check box labeled Disk drives. Checking this box will automagically connect all disk drives on you local machine to the remote machine when you open the RDC.

When you get logged into the remote box, open My Computer and you'll see that all the drives (hard drives, floppy drives, CD/DVD ROM drives, and even mapped drives) will show up as mapped disk drives.

Go ahead and open one of the newly mapped drives and transfer files to your heart's content. Now, how easy and painless was that! You can use these mappings as local drives through session.
