Sp0iLedBrAt Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 The error means that you are missing SATA/AHCI drivers, so the setup part cannot recognize your HDD and copy/install on it. Anyway, there is special part of the forum for installing Windows from USBExamine your PC model, use search and find out exactly which SATA drivers you need. Then, here you will find ways of inserting them on the USB so everything goes smooth.Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sp0iLedBrAt Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Well, instead of installing XP on a USB, which may not get the expected results (as you already witnessed) on different PCs, why not get a Live CD to boot from? use google search and report back.

Ponch Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 I don't understand why you register here to talk about that tutorial when it states there is a dedicated forum.Your problem is probably that your USB shifts to 2nd hard drive somewhere in the process when the drivers are loaded, then Windows gets lost. There might be different scenari, this word alone will attract some knowledgeable members to this thread.You might also be interrested running this project named VistaPE from USB instead of a standard Windows.

Warillion Posted March 13, 2010 Author Share Posted March 13, 2010 the laptop doesn't have a disk drive. Charter had installed a locked down ubuntu which i have no root access and instead of installing a new OS over it id like to keep the original OS intact. and also have my messenger and vpn to my home network when i'm on the road and not working which is most of the day. might have a few co-workers interested in purchasing my bootable sticks for 50 bucks lol. none of them come close to being able to accomplish it on there own. Plus the challenge of determination to see this project through. I've never made a bootable windows from USB and i felt it was something i needed to experience. every new project i learn so much. and its amazing to see how so many people out there share the same interest. ill post back when i attempt agian with results. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaclaz Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Part of the problem is the invalid link.The "right one" is this one:http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=116766But these are the FAQ's for "Install Windows FROM USB". (the 0x0000007b cause is anyway the same)What should actually be useful for you is reading this thread, where links to different methods to "Install Windows ON USB" are given.http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=119963Or use the new approaches:http://www.boot-land.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=9830jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
