Ok, I now have the ntdetect.com file on my USB and I try it again and now I have an error 19 - cannot mount selected partition. It comes up with Booting 'First part of XP setup from partition 0' root (hd0,0) Filesystem type is ntfs, partition type 0x7 map --mem /Winsetup/XPpSP3.ISO (0xff) Autodetect number-of-heads failed. Use default value 255 Autodetect sectors-per-track failed. Use default value 63 savedefault2 Error occurred while savedefault map (hd0) (hd1) map (hd1) (hd0) map --hook root (0xff) Error 19: Cannot mount selected partition Press any key to continue

Sorry - I forgot to upload log file.

First try - After booting up with usb and then selecting "XP Setup", then selecting "First part of XPpSP3 setup from partition 0". It loaded the drivers and as soon as it said it was starting windows I got a BSOD. I have a Sandisk Cruzer 8gb USB drive - formatted using RMPREPUSB with the following settings: -NTFS -Boot as HD (2 PTNS) -Using the XP NTLDR boot options Any ideas where to begin trouble shooting?

My first time trying to install XP from USB. I downloaded the latest version (Beta 3) and am giving it a try. Any advice for a new guy? Thanks in advance.
