As we discussed earlier the creation of bootable USB with the help of USB now we will be discussing about the creation of XP bootable USB. As I have already discussed the advantage of USB for bootable devices you can see from that Window 7 USB installation. Here we will mention the detailed procedure in the installation through the USB drive.
Procedure:
1. First of you should have a 2GB/4GB USB device because the size of XP is small as compared to Window 7.
2. Then extract the XP ISO Image file into your computer drive for example in this article we extract the XP ISO file in the H: Drive.
3. Now open the Command Window by following the directions:
Start - ->All Programs --->Accessories --->Command Prompt (Run as administrator by right click on it).
4. A Black command line window opens now type the following commands in the same sequence as described:
DISKPART
LIST DISK
SELECT DISK 1 (Or the disk number for your USB in your computer)
CLEAN
CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY
SELECT PARTITION 1
ACTIVE
FORMAT FS=NTFS
ASSIGN
EXIT
5. After this the command prompt will leave the Disk part program now we have to install Boot sect on USB drive, write the commands as following:
H: CD BOOT (H: is the drive where the Window XP ISO file is extracted)
CD BOOT
BOOTSECT.EXE /NT60 I: (Here I: is the USB drive)
The USB will now update with boot manager boor code.
6. After the boot manager updating we have to transfer the Windows Installation files to the USB device, write as following:
XCOPY H:\*.* I: /s/e/f
Wait for the transfer process to complete.
Now your USB is now ready for the installation. Enjoy.....
