The solution had a few disadvantages. First of all, it requires an old Windows 8 Build I used Portable Workspace Creator, which was removed from Build 8. And I wasnt able to test my procedure with an 1. GB USB thumb drive,  because the minimum is a 3. GB USB memory stick. Now I found a simpler way, to bring the Windows 8 Developer Preview as Windows 8 To Go Version to a 1. GByte USB Stick works also with USB hard disks. Wrong paths My first approach was, to install Windows 8 in a virtual machine, using a 1. GB virtual disk. Then I tried to clone this virtual disk to a 1. GB USB thumb drive using the Linux Tool GParted. But I failed, because GParted terminated during copy operation with errors. The USB memory stick was bootable, but Windows 8 couldnt load. One other idea, I have had, was create a 3. MB boot partition and a 2nd 5,3 GB Windows partition using GParted and format that as NTFS drives diskpart wont support that. This approach offers the possibility to use the WAIK Windows Automated Installation Kitprogram imagex. Windows files to the 2nd Windows partition. But I also failed. At least I discussed my toughts about imagex on German forum Win. Vista. Side. de. User hoschi. BUILD presentation. The same APIs used to deploy desktops and laptops can be used with Windows To Goimagex apply N Imagesmy windows partition. W Bcdboot. exe w windows s X f ALLAfter reading that cite, I rembered this arcticle, that should point to the right direction. A few hours later, user hoschi. Step by Step Windows 8 To Go on a 1. GB USB memory stick. First of all, we need to boot the Windows 8 Developer Preview for instance in a virtual machine. Then it is mandatory, to mount the ISO file of a Windows 8 Developer Preview I have used the 3. We also need the Windows Automated Installation Kit for Windows 7, because the WAIK file imagex. Tools folder is required. I have copied the recommended 3. Windows 8 machine. After connecting the USB memory stick to Windows 8, we need to create a NTFS formated primary partition on the USB memory stick. This can be done using Computer Managment Console branch disk management. Or you can invoke the command prompt windows using Run as administrator. Then you can use the following diskpart commands to create the ntfs partition. You can use list disk to query all drives, and list partition shows all partitions on a drive. The select command selects the drive and the required partition. Above I used disk 1 and then I deleted an existing partition on the memory stick. Afterward I created a primary partition and formats it with ntfs. The active command made the stick bootable. After terminating diskpart, we need to copy Windows files to the USB thumb drive using imagex. This can be done, using the following command in a administrative console window. Here I launched imagex. Windows 8 drive. D was the DVD drive containing the setup media with the file install. F was the drive letter of my USB memory stick. The number 1 defines, that only on Windows 8 edition should be copied. After copying Windows successful to the thumb drive on my system it took nearly 3 hours to finish, we have to copy also the boot files to the media. This can be done using the following command bcdboot. ALLwithin an administrative console windows. Drive f is my USB memory stick. The command writes the boot files from the current Windows directory to the boot area of the target media. Executing the commands above sucessfully, the USB memory stick should contain the files shown below. After unmounting the USB thumb drive the media can be used to boot a system. To force a boot from USB memory stick pen drive, it is required to invoke the BIOS boot menu pressing a key like ESC, F8, F1. BIOS version and vendor and select the boot device. After selecting the USB media as boot device, Windows 8 should boot and starts configuring the system. The screen below shows the setup page to enter the computers network name. During first setup, some reboots are necessary. Keep your attention to invoke the BIOS boot menu and select USB media to boot otherwise the OS installed on the system disk will be booted. After configuring your Windows 8 To Go, the login screen should be visible. Below is my MSI Wind 1. Windows 8 start screen I have used Windows 8 To Go on a 3. MB USB 2. 0 hard disk. Remarks Using the steps described above brings Windows 8 Developer Preview to a 1. GB USB thumb drive or a USB hard disk as Windows 8 To Go. The advantage against my 1st solution we dont need a Windows 8 Build containing Portable Workspace Creator, and we can keep existing partitions on a USB hard disk. The disadvantages are We dont have a 2nd partition system reserved, that is needed to set up bitlocker. For my tests I have had only a 1. GB USB 2. 0 thumb drive. I was able to boot my system with this memory stick. But the solution wasnt really useable. Whilst I was able to use my USB 2. Windows 8 To Go in a reasonable way, the USB 2. After entering the password in login screen, I waited 1. I could see activities on the USB thumb drive, but I still have had a black desktop with mouse pointer and no start screen. This is too long and I terminated my test. Recommendation If you intent do experiment a bit with Windows 8 To Go, I strongly recommend a 3. GB USB 3. 0 thumb drive or USB hard disc and a computer with USB 3.
