Is this doable? I'd like to boot up windows 7 and all the programs I use, including Windows Firewall from a thumb drive. The goal is to have a dual configured computer, one configuration which I can take with me when I leave the laptop unattended. Boot order in bios would control which configuration the laptop would boot to. I've looked at Ceedo a little but have no experience with it, not sure I can put the whole os on it... <br />

The goal is to have a dual configuration controlled by a thumb drive really. Essentially proprietary software and the Windows Firewall configuration have to go with the thumb drive. The OS itself could be on the hdd I suppose.

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.

Software firewalls, also known as host-based firewalls, provide a layer of software on one host that controls network traffic in and out of that single machine. Most operating systems now include firewall software, but many available software firewalls include central distribution, antivirus systems and disaster recovery.
