GTA has been very firm 
about steering clear of 
hard disk support.  The 
most straightforward 
solution would be to find 
a flash-based floppy 
disk equivalent -- I've 
even seen on of these in 
the form of a 3.5" floppy 
disk for insertion into 
an actual floppy drive:

There is also project 
called "FLOPPER" which 
is designed to allow the 
booting of older, boot-
from-floppy PC games -- 
the beta version is 
distributed with source 
in Pascal, so it might be 
practical to adapt this 
code to boot Gnatbox from 
a disk image residing on 
a DOS-formatted hard 
drive:
