Hi all,

I've found lot of amazing threads about installing xp from usb drive. I tried same procedure for tablet 2005 edition but it didn't work. It downgrades it and isntalls 2002 sp2 version. Any idea how to go about it??

Moving...

Try copying folder CMPNENTS from CD2 to CD1, overwriting any existing files on CD1.

Not sure, but you may need to edit TXTSETUP.SIF too, and change CD2 to CD1:

from:

2 = "%cd2name%","%cd2tagfilei%",,\cmpnents\tabletpc\i386
3 = "%cd2name%","%cd2tagfilei%",,\cmpnents\mediactr\i386
4 = "%cd2name%","%cd2tagfilei%",,\cmpnents\netfx\i386

to

2 = "%cdname%","%cdtagfilei%",,\cmpnents\tabletpc\i386
3 = "%cdname%","%cdtagfilei%",,\cmpnents\mediactr\i386
4 = "%cdname%","%cdtagfilei%",,\cmpnents\netfx\i386

Don't have a MCE or TABLET cd to play with, hope that's all you have to do.

Please let us know how it went.

edit: Edit the above in both files TXTSETUP.SIF, found in USB root and ~BT folder.

edit2: copy CMPNENTS folder to USB_root\....~LS\
