	this note's a bit old, but... I think this is close to impossible. aside from the swap area (which is settable), there are many files which are written back to disk which include: copies of the registry, bootlog files, .ini and .gid files, .tmp files, and a host of other files that I'm sure I missed. I believe that any PC operating system pretty well assumes that a writeable (book) is a given. Anyone is welcome to disagree, but I believe the above is correct. It ain't doo-able.
