Install Windows Xp Usb Drive

  1. To my knowledge its going to be a bit more complex than just copying and pasting. Generally, if im understanding what you want to do, you need to format the drives a certain way to be bootable, or have other files that will allow it to be recognized as bootable idk.
  2. Prepare a full Windows XP VHD file. Fully install XP to the virtual machine vhd hard disk by allowing the VM to boot from the CD ISO file. Format the vhd as NTFS. Note: if you intend to fully update it and add more software then you will need a larger vhd file, e.g. Disable the page-file.
  3. Note: Windows Setup will indicate what drive letter it will assign to each partition when you select one of the partitions to install to.If you want to ensure that the XP partition boots as drive C:, then ensure the Active (boot) flag is set on that Primary partition and it is the first hard disk in the system.You can use a disk utility such as Diskpart to make the correct partition the Active.
  4. Installing Windows from the bootable USB Thumb Drive. Plugin your thumb drive. Start your computer. Go into the BIOS setup by pressing the Delete key. In the boot menu, select your flash drive as the first boot device. Save settings and restart your PC. (This step might be different for different computers.

I wanted to know how to install a full, bootable working version of my Windows XP (I have a CD) on this awesome 16 GB Kodak USB Flash Drive. Its for personal use and only in case my old Dell 2400 bytes the big one. If it is possible, can all the software I have installed currently be re-installed on the USB after the Windows has finished installing?
