Here's the article that I've found in pendrivelinux.com
It shows how to run mint linux on your flash drive, while running windows operating system.

This is the whole thing:
USB Linux Mint 7 persistent flash drive creation. In the following tutorial, we show you how to use Windows to create a Portable Linux Mint 7 USB flash drive. Linux Mint 7 Gloria is based on Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope and is compatible with it's current repositories. Originally launched as a variant of Ubuntu with integrated media codecs, Linux Mint has developed into an elegant Linux distribution. Currently maintained by Clement Lefebvre, more information about Linux Mint can be found at the Official Linux Mint site.

Note: The persisten feature works just as it does in Ubuntu 9.04, allowing you to save and restoremost of your changes.

Persistence size: The default casper-rw loop file that becomes the partition for saving changes is only 1GB. If you have room and would prefer to use more space for saving changes you can download one of the following zip files and extract the new casper-rw file to your USB device, replacing the old one.
