1.6.1
Installing Windows XP or Windows 7 on USB Devices
The CompactFlash (on board versions -00 and -01) and the microSD card of the
G20 is connected via USB. A standard Windows operating system (like Windows
XP Professional or Windows 7 Ultimate) does not support direct installation on
USB memory devices.
There are three possible solutions:
• Install the operating system on the mSATA disk of the G20 (on board versions
-02 and -03).
• Add a hard drive (SATA, mSATA) on a peripheral board or side card
• Switch to an Embedded Windows (like Windows Embedded Standard or Win-
dows Embedded Standard 7). These Embedded Windows operating systems sup-
port being installed on and booted from a USB device.
Linux supports booting from a USB device without problems.
