Better stick with a LiveCD - VM's are not all alike, nor are the host machines they run on (both of which makes giving aid and assistance a PITA).
The LiveCD system runs in RAM, does not require that you find a 'spare drive', does not modify the existing drives.
Although many allow you to (optionally) use a USB stick for storage, so you might want to find a 'spare flash stick'.
