Has anyone else done it?This would be better :1) Copy Vista DVD to local hard disk2) run vlite on the copy of the Vista DVD (source)3) partition and format the USB drive properly4) copy the output of vlite (reduced setup files) to USB drive5) load OS setup files from USB driveThe above is about installing a reduced (vlited) Vista from a USB device, and it can be automated partially following this:http://www.msfn.org/board/Install-XP-from-USB-f157.htmlor are you asking about installing a reduced (vlited) Vista to a USB device? if the latter is the case, check Dietmar's Tutorials:http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?sho...181&st=1707http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?sho...181&st=1712jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
