Venator Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 Do you know if it's possible to install Windows XP to my hard drive from a USB pen drive (instead of using a CD-ROM as source)?My motherboard supports USB devices booting.How can I make the pen drive bootable prior to copy the files from Windows CD?Thanks for your suggestions.ByeVenator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C01eMaN Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 (edited) I Found A Tool Called PeToUSB v3.0It Works With BartPE/WinPE So It Possibly "Might" Work with XP, ill try with 2k because ive got a small drive MY USB flsh drive is broke so i can only test it on a external hdd, it should do the same thing.also you may have to copy the source files to hdd before installation. if it works ill wright a batch file and post it hereUPDATE:Ive Tried And Tried And I Finally Gave Up Soz Edited November 27, 2005 by C01eMaN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaclaz Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 If I get it right, Venator wants to INSTALL winXP from a stick.Booting an OS from it is just a first step.Here is a similar thread, where I posted some hints:http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=61384Anyone willing to test it?jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
