How to install Windows from USB- WinSetupFromUSB with GUI

[halki]

Hi guys, can anyone tell me from where I can get

Custom drivers/F6 floppy image for 2000/XP/2003 Setup

and

Custom NTDETECT.COM file for 2000/XP/2003 Setup

Thanks you

Hi guys,

I have a problem when installing WinXp to my Aspire r3610 using WinSetupFromUSB1.0 beta7...

First of all grub is not detecting its menu at startup. I managed to point grub to his menu, and chosen "First part of Windows XP Professional SP3 setup from partition 0". When setup starts (i think) it shows an error:

"The system encountered an I/O error accessing multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(4)partition(1). Setup cannot continue"

When I use the same flash on my desctop computer I get no errors, grub detects its menu finely, WinXP installation starts and shows its blue screen with first menu...

There is a bug in beta7, either fix it as described, or redo the USB disk using beta8.

F6 drivers you can obtain from motherboard/laptop manufacturer. Keep in mind there are some limitations in this method- only the default driver referenced in txtsetup.oem could be used if it supports multiple drivers. Amend txtsetup.oem accordingly.

As for ntdetect.com:

Q3/A3

Do you need it? Do you get BSOD 0x0000007B when starting setup?

Hello ilko_t,

thanks for your fast answer, I manage to install Windows XP Professional SP3 on my Sony Vaio VGN-NR21Z without any problems, with the settings you can see it the print attached, latter I will try Win7 also and I will let you know

so until I get any error I will not install Custom drivers/NTDETECT, I was asking because I don't know what are them and for what are good on this project.

Cheers

Thanks ilko_t!

I tried the quick fix for beta 7 but i had got another problem with biosinfo.inf. Setup said it couldnt find it but I rechecked it was there. As I understood later the problem was my flash was seen in grub (and aparantely bios) as floppy (fd0). I have read an article here about flash detected as floppy that was not resolved as I understood... So I dropped that flash and used my 4gb kingston and it detected as (hd0,0). With WinSetupFromUSB1.0 8.7b I prepread it and setup start DID succeded and completed succesfully!

Thanks again for the program

Hi ilko_t,

I installed WIN 7 on my Sony Vaio VGN-NR21Z without any problems, but I got WINDOWS BOOT MANAGER and is very annoying, how I can uninstall it ? I want to start win7 normally

Thanks

[ilko_t]

Can you take a picture of this Windows Boot Manager and post it here?

Windows 7 Setup detected a previous Windows OS present and added it to the boot menu, nothing wrong in that.

Do you still have the XP?

If not- press start button, type "msconfig", go to BOOT tab, delete the "previous operating systems" entry and/or reduce timeout to 0 or 1.

May also use EasyBCD, or BootIce for this task.

More good BCD editors (just for the record):

there is no other system on hard right now, only win 7, the problem my be from the System Reserved Partition (100 MB), that was not formatted after I installed win 7, then win xp and now win 7 again, maybe from there he think I have multiple OS, my boot looks like print attached

when I try to change the time to 0 or 1 I got this message "Please enter a value between 3 and 999 seconds"

so my questions is if I can just remove it or uninstall in order to get a normal start up

I didn't tried the other tools because I don't have time right now

thanks

I think I will do a full format again to see if I still get this.

I will let you know

Please don't shoot the mosquito with a nuclear weapon.

Install EasyBCD or any of the other tools mentioned. Edit the BCD settings and get it done properly, quick, and in a way you learned something new.

Hello mr teacher,

today I learned something new , I installed EasyBCD as you advised and used the options you can see on prints attached

at Skip the boot menu > nothing happened

at Count down from 0 > the boot menu was showing for about 1 second, so I didn't like it

then I deleted the entry I have there and then I cannot boot to my OS. so I insert my USB repaired the system and restart. this fix was working out to get access to my OS back. I didn't like it either so I formatted it properly. the partition and the System Reserved Partition and now I have a normal boot with no "WINDOWS BOOT MANAGER", I mean I formatted/deleted the partitions and create them again.

so I still used the atomic bomb for the mosquito ( I did this, because with the USB it's take like 10-15 minutes for the format to complete ).

what city are your from ? we are neighbors.

Did you delete Windows 7 entry as well?

Yes, I deleted it as well, as I told you in previous post and after I restart it, I got a boot error and can't access my windows partition, in other words, the pc wont boot the OS, then I insert the USB and repair the boot menu ...
