March 5, 201214 yr HelloI followed this tutorial for making a WinXP USB install.I tried installing it on this very old Athlon 2000+ machine. The first phase goes well i format and copy the new files then it restarts and boots from the stick again. I try starting the second phase but it just roles some text and comes back to the Windows installation selection screen.Any help would be greatly appreciated. Can i do this from the command line?
March 5, 201214 yr I try starting the second phase but it just roles some textCan you figure out what the text is?and comes back to the Windows installation selection screen.What happens if you start the second part again, without going through the first part? Just select again the second part.Can i do this from the command line? What do you mean?

March 6, 201214 yr Lets try.Boot from USB again. Press "c" key when the menus appear. This will get you in grub4dos command prompt.Then type:map (hd0) (hd1)map (hd1) (hd0)map --hookfind --set-root --devices=h /ntldrchainloader /ntldrbootWhat does it return after "find --set-root --devices=h /ntldr"?Does the GUI mode start after "boot"?Another way- just boot from the internal disk after Text mode/First part. What happens then?How many internal disks do you have attached?
