moin moin,
Virtual hello to everyone :)
I have done SOME research about this and I believe it can be achieved by
"profiles".
The environment:
I am running a windoze (XP) laptop as a client of a Windomain.
I have admin access to the laptop but not to the domain.
I have to respect some seriously restrictive policies, for example: I am not
allowed to repartition the HD.
The challenge:
I want to be able to boot the laptop native in windoze, and I want to be
able to boot it from a USB drive in Linux and run the same XP machine
virtual over its native partition, all this with no noticeable modifications
to the Registry (or better NO modifications to the Registry) unless it is
something that I can bill as harmless and understandable (like a "profile").
Can it be done?
Not sure, but please let us know if you figure it out :).
Does your laptop have a builtin SD slot? If so, maybe use an SD card
rather than USB, so it can always be plugged in.

Links for similar projects at the bottom of the FAQ.
Maybe search for wubi and qemu and qcow2 in conjunction with wubi. I
didn't find anything with a quick search, but I didn't look very hard.
ciao,
