Which game is this?

The one where other users suggest something and you reply saying "Yeah, I tried that but it doesn't work." and that goes on for several posts until it ends nowhere

or

the one where you post the EXACT description of your hardware, the EXACT description of what tool/method/whatever you tried using to install XP from USB AND the EXACT description of the error(s)/issue(s) you had and for which you may receive (hopefully) some advice

or

something else?

and the tool I used was WinSetupFromUsb (ive also tried (easy2boot rufus wintoflash and several others)

A blue screen is blue, usually it comes with some white text on it, including a STOP code, see example:

Besides, WinSetupFromUSB behaviour might depend on the settings you chose.

The fact that you tried other tools obtaining similar failures leads me to think that there may be issues with the source, like some driver (missing or "wrong").

Install XP bit64 via real CD in an CD-Rom Sata drive,

this works

I forgot to list in my previous post the game where people post truisms, my bad, though it may well  belong to the "something else" category.

Next one will likely be about RIS installation ...

I believe that Best Buy still carries optical disks, or Staples, or perhaps even Walmart. You remind me of an old man at another forum who always blogs about himself no matter what the topic of a thread might be. Of course this is your thread so please feel free to tell us that you are moving to Eclipse, installing Linux, or whatever your latest whim might be, but this game is indeed getting old.

I realize that now and have been considering getting this locked as its not much help anymore

BUT, once you will have the discs you will be playing another game (suggested by Dietmar), not this one.

Dietmar, perhaps you wanted to say IDE drive, not SATA.

XP doesn't have SATA drivers by default.

Editing: they need to be integrated.
