I believe new ASUS motherboards typically boot Splashtop from hard disk,
not from flash.  On my ASUS M4A78 PLUS, Splashtop can be installed into
a directory tree "\ASUS.SYS" (~500 MB) on any partition with a Windows
filesystem.  The ASUS BIOS displays a gaudy splashscreen that allows the
user to choose Splashtop or the normal OS.

Source seems to be here:
