If you have an appropriate netbook (about 50% support this, check your
manufacturer and model type), unplug the SD card containing the OS image and
replace it with the SD card containing the clean install of XP along with
"Letter to mom.doc" and "Aunty Edna's 90th birthday.jpg".  Once you're at your
destination, pull the real SD card from the collection in your camera bag and
reinsert it.  Takes next to no time at all, and it guarantees there really
isn't anything there to be found (including large collections of random noise)
in any normal search.

Peter.
