Trying to install 32bit XP using WinSetupfromUSB.
The system will boot the USB as a USB-ZIP but WinSetupfromUSB won't get past the "start part 1 menu" so I have installed plop into the MBR on the HDD, and find the USB using UHCI on Host4, Port1. HDD is SATA but bios emulates it as IDE, I don't seem to have any control over this.
WinSetupfromUSB freezes after shifthd.bat.
Before shifthd.bat (hd0) 0x80 is the USB, (hd1) 0x81 is the HDD, but after shifthd.bat (hd0) is still the USB and (hd1) seems to be no longer mapped.
I'm still trying to learn grub4dos, but got the above information by adding geometry commands to winsetup.lst.
On screen dialog:
starting setup part 1
error occurred while savedefault
0x80: .... USB
0x81: .... HDD
It seems plop has been loaded
found 2 disks, set USB hd1
0x80: ... USB
freezes
I'm at a loss what to do now, any help appreciated.
P.S. there is an 8MB block at the start of the USB, is this normal?
