I may have opened a pandora's box in my head w/this question. The timing problem makes some sense to me - windows is bad w/timing related problems, doing too many complex tasks @ once sometimes confuses my win boxes, ram release, RMPrepUsb, and WinsetupfromUSBwithGUI piggybacking on eachother play well into this timing problem idea. Not sure i completely grasp the paper reuse concept, but it is interesting to contemplate and perhaps after some time it will become a jewl. So Jaclaz - thnx much for your reply.and your useful initial post that helped me so much. take care

Jaclaz your solution worked - many thanks!!! I worked on this grub4dos issue for 6 hrs (msfn is having a new user automated activation url issue), your solution worked on the first try!! I have used WinSetupfromUSB 20-30 times on different machines with out need for your solution. Now all of a sudden i need your solution - why? why does this happen (date issue w/WinSetupfromUSB?, Ram memory hold by WinSetupfromUSB?) How does installing Grub4Dos via RMPREPUSB separately different from how WinSetup installs Grub during usb disk creation? Thanx again
