If you want to use the format commands at the bottom be aware you need to change the /FS switch from NTFS to FAT32. I made this BAT for a couple of guys at work; that is why I have it generating the diskpart script at the begininng, so they don't have to (Or have it in the wrong place etc.) .
(sorry for the delayed response)
Have you tried FAT32? I changed my script to format NTFS and now I can build a bootable USB key from WinXP.
I would prefer to stick with FAT32 but will take what I can get. I also had to change the "Safe Removal Policy" ("Optimize for Performance") to allow the format to NTFS to occur.
I know this is old, but the problem is that the XP version of Diskpart does not read USB sticks as "drives" unless the RMB (removable media bit) has not been set. Windows PE 2.0 must have the newer version of Diskpart. I am looking for a download of the Diskpart executable, or I can try to use a third-party program.
