You haven't mentioned the OS, but Windoz (all varieties) cannot be made to boot from USB.
You can run unix and then load the clone within a virtual machine (vbox being my preferred)

Puppy is very user friendly and on screen prompts when saving for the first time are easy to follow.

Sorry mate, dcm was correct, I was being a bit too subtle.

I was hoping for Dan Gleebitz to expand on the notion re usb needs Windows to load before power is available.

BTW I regularly use Puppy for checking PCs which I've picked out of skips etc.

Also running SliTaz on a 256Mb flash drive.
