I am not sure that I understand the problem, but I have successfully used a $70, 250GB USB HD to boot a M$ laptop on Linux, and then run the native WinXP or Win7 OS inside VirtualBox.
I LOVE IT!!!   8)
I can shutdown the laptop, pull the USB HD, boot the native Wincrap and there is no trace (other than the VirtualBox guest additions installation) left behind.
I even have a cookbook to accomplish this.
Somewhere...   :)

I have a laptop at work that is horribly gimped with xp 32 bit.
I can boot wubi but the drive is encrypted with mcafee endpoint encryption
so it cannot acess its disk volume past boot.
So aside from an expensive ec ssd or an expensive thumb drive that's out. I
so have a ian hdd but it's weird and I can't boot from it.
Im looking for options that I can ramdisk as I have 4gb of ram or get funky
useing the ian hdd for persistant data.
I have not yet tried to use the ian hdd for the wubi file as its a slow
drive.
