I keep one around. It works sometimes, as long as your Windows machine
hardware doesn't need anything terribly unique. It's helped me with
flashing firmware on RME sound cards. They require Windows also.
Just thought I'd mention it. It's a bit of work, but once it's done
you don't have to mess with Windows on the disk.
Good luck,
Mark
