Hi, i'm not sure if this the right place to put my question, or if i should open a new thread. I also admit, that didn't read much of the thread, so please forgive me if I missed the solution (but the search didn't show me any usable for my problem). Ok, I used WinSetFromUSB under Vista HPx64 and prepared my 1GB UBS-stick with the WinXP recovery CD delivered with my DELL Mini 12. Every thing seems fine. Booting with USB, getting through the first some boot menus (First part of XP Home, ... ) but then it complaines Line 22162 of INF-file \txtsetup.sif has an error (analogously translated from german) In this line I found: ps2 = “Mÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ...." I tried 3 times formating and reinstalling the USB-stick. With everytime the same outcome ... Can someone explaine/help? Thanks, HarryKane
