How to Install Win XP on a USB Flash Drive
Instructions1
1-Restart your computer and access your BIOS setup screen. Check your boot settings to make sure \"USB-HDD\" is listed as an option. If a USB boot option is not available, you may need to update your BIOS firmware, or you may not be able to boot to USB on your computer at all.
(1) (Intai dai un restart la computer iar la pornire intri in setarile BIOS. Aici verifici la "boot setings" sa fie activat si USB ca optiune, daca nu gasesti aceasta optiune nu poti continua decat dupa ce faci un "update" la BIOS cu o versiune actualizata ce contine si acest "USB_boot option" altfel nu are nici un rost sa continui pentru ca nu vei reusi nimic).
2-Check the USB drive manual, or contact the drive's manufacturer, to make sure the drive is bootable. Your drive should also be large enough to hold Windows XP. A USB drive at least 2GB in size is ideal.
(2) (Verifici apoi daca "USB flash drive" adik Stik'u permite boot'area, oricum daca este de ultima generatie o permite, insa trebuie sa te asiguri ca are si o dimensiune ce permiteinstalarea si rularea unui win xp in conditii optime, deci sa aibe o dimensiune de minim 2G, recomand 4G ).
3-Download the HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool. Run the software, then select your USB drive from the list of devices. Select to format to the FAT32 file system, then click \"Start\" to format the drive.
(3) (La acest punct poti avea doua optiuni, 1-formatezi cu Fat32,urmand indicatiile urmatoare sau 2-formatezi cu NTFS caz in care Stik'ul nu va mai putea fi scos din computer fara al bloca/defecta iremediabil, insa in acest mod poti instala XP'ul ca pe o "partitie" iar HDD va ramane ca si spatiu de stocare).
4-Click \"Start,\" \"All Programs,\" \"Accessories\" and \"Run.\" Type \"%systemroot%\" into the dialogue box. Press \"Enter.\" The system root folder will open.
(4) (Pana aici am considerat necesara o traducere pentru a "EVIDENTIA" informatia din subiect, de aici inainte cei interesati gasesc tot ce trebuie printr-o formulare/limbaj de programare n/a. Pentru mai multe detalii clik pe titlu).
5-Click \"Tools,\" then \"Folder Options.\" Click the \"View\" tab, and then select the \"Show Hidden Files and Folders\" option. Click \"OK.\"
6-Copy \"boot.ini,\" \"ntldr\" and \"ntdetect\" from your system root folder. Paste these files into your USB drive.
7-Download, install and run PEBuilder to your computer. PEBuilder will allow you to make a bootable copy of Windows XP. Write down the set of numbers following \"PEBuilder v,\" located on the top of the window. This is PEBuilder's version number.
8-Insert your Windows XP Install CD into your CD or DVD drive. Click the \"...\" next to the \"Source\" field, then select your Windows XP install files from your CD.
9-Leave the \"Custom\" field blank and the \"Output\" field as \"BartPE.\" Click \"Build\" to create the Windows XP installation copy.
10-Click \"Start,\" \"All Programs,\" \"Accessories\" and \"Run.\" Type \"cmd.exe\" in the box, then press \"Enter.\"
11-Insert your flash drive into your computer. Type \"cd\\\" to go to your PC's root directory, then type \"cd pebuilder#\\plugin\\peinst\", replacing \"#\" with your PEBuilder version.
12-Type \"peinst\", then press \"Enter.\" A menu will appear. Type \"1\" to access the \"Change source path\" option. Type \"c:\\pebuilder#\\BartPE\", again replacing \"#\" with your PEBuilder version.
13-Type \"2\", then press \"Enter.\" Type your USB drive letter, followed by \":\", then press \"Enter.\" Type \"5\" and press \"Enter\" again. Windows XP will be installed to your flash drive.
Tips & Warnings
- To install applications to Windows XP, you must use the \"Plugins\" option on PEBuilder. This must be done before you install Windows XP to your USB drive.
To create a bootable USB copy of XP, your Windows XP CD must include SP2, or you must slipstream SP2 into the CD.
If you are not sure how to access or configure your BIOS settings, contact your motherboard's manufacturer or consult your computer's manual. BIOS settings vary based on make and model. - Do not install Windows XP to your USB drive unless you are the legal owner of that copy.
Formatting your USB drive will remove any files stored on it.
