I'm putting together a HTPC with Debian and WinXP. I will be booting directly into Debian so I can use MythTV, I have WinXP so I can also play games on it.

However, I will be mostly using it to watch TV and movies so I will rarely ever boot into XP therefore, I won't be installing a boot loader. When I do want to go into XP, I want to able to stick a USB memory stick into my computer and boot into XP.

Is this possible?
