You can even do a persistent install of Ubuntu on a thumb drive.

a quick note, its slower than picking up a cheap second hand HDD. try fleabay or your local CEX for a drive to chuck in there. i am using an old 40gb PS3 drive in one of my machines

I'm sure you can find a HDD laying around. Personally I would just throw a post on FB to see if any of my friends have one laying around.

If you don't have numerous spare hard drives laying around, then you are not a real computer nerd.

For folding, you really won't see any speed difference. F@h only writes every 30mins to the disk.
You can look at the linuxforge image, which is already set to run on an usb. http://www.linuxforge.net/docs/crunching/fah-native.php |

why do you need to do that, just plug the USB drive in put the cd in teh cd drive and install onto the USB stick - that how i did anyway, after installing i removed the CD drive to reduce power consumption (dunno how much difference it would make but whatever)
