What I am looking for is a Linux Distro that will run live on a USB and allow me to save to the USB
(links to Hotmail google etc)
I have found one that does what I want Knoppix 7.2, but I cannot figure out how to change the time !!

Which desktop does it use? right clicking the time in the bottom right is usually all you need to do

Thanks for your reply

Right I found Peppermint which I installed to a USB, but somehow I have screwed up. Now my computer wants me to boot from the grub loader, which means that to boot into win 7 I have to have the usb in, naturally this is a PITA, anyone have any idea on how I sort it  ? ETA I have sorted it though somehow I lost 880mb off a 8 gig pen, !! |

Maybe a swap partition has been added by Linux, Windows is blind to any Linux partitions so it's probably not missing at all really. It could also be a hidden file.
Windows blindness means you'll have to use a Linux partition program to get the full capacity back under Windows

Wouldn't a windows install/repair disc be able to give access to a cmd prompt where you can repair the bcd file?

I managed to repair the windows boot and everything is hunky dory !!
By using Diskpart in Windows I was able to clean the USB and format it and have now retrieved the missing space
Thanks to all for your input
