August 5, 200521 yr Hello all,My question is if its possible to run the windows xp install from usb stick. Since the unattended cd's are always taking lots of time to update it would be nice if its possible to use a usb stick to install.I tryed looking on google but the only things i can find is to make the usb stick boot dos, winpe or if its possible to make multi boot usb stick but nowhere is there any information howto make a single windows xp installation from usb stick.thanks for the help

What i am precise am looking for is a way to get the windows installation cd on the usb stick itself and be able to boot from it aswell to install windows.
August 6, 200521 yr Author Does this help? http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=26612&st=61#DL<{POST_SNAPBACK}>It links to US department of defence Copied the link a other way and i have the thread you mean.

August 7, 200521 yr Did it to me also. Went back and redid the link and that corrected it. The only difference was that I gave the link a name, 'link'. <shrug>DLP.S. Clicking on the link in your window still takes you to the US military defense sight. Edited August 7, 200521 yr by DL
August 8, 200521 yr Author I used the above link to get a bit further, since i am able to get the setup screen using the BartPE bootfiles. But when it enters the setup it says txtsetup.inf is missing or damaged status 18. Does anyone have a idea howto solve this? I already tried by copying over the normal I386 dir over to the stick or to use cdimage pro to make the iso but its still the same.
August 9, 200521 yr i don't recall reading that anyone has succeeded in doing what you are trying. you might as well trying installing xp from a paddle-pop stick for all the success you are gonna have. give up now, your country needs you Edited August 9, 200521 yr by Saraband
