Kon-Boot on a USB

[irongeek at irongeek.com (Adrian Crenshaw)]

Nice find Mick. I did some messing around with it, I could not get
Unetbootin to put it on a flash drive from the CD ISO, but I could get it
too boot from the USB using the floppy disk image and this page:

However, even though it would boot from the USB, it lead to a gray screen
when it should have loaded the default OS off of the local drive. The CD I
burned worked perfectly on the same box, so I don't think it is the
hardware. I'd be interested if anyone else had the same issue: Worked from a
CD, but not a thumb drive.

Anyone know if this only works on 32bit versions of Windows? Also, details
are scant on their page, but what it seems to do is act as a boot loader,
mod the memory and then you can log in as any local account with a blank
password. Neato.
