How to install Windows XP from an USB Flash drive

First make sure that your Computer (motherboard) is also supporting USB Booting, if you can't find any option like this in your BIOS then your Computer (motherboard) isn't supported this so an installation of Windows XP from a USB Flash drive will not work.

* Step by step on how to do this:

1. Make a new folder on the Hard disk drive and called it "WINXPCD".

2. Open the ISO file "Windows XP Professional 32-bit en-US - Black Edition v201X.XX.XX.iso" with a Zip Program like 7-Zip and extract all the files into the folder "WINXPCD".

3. If you see a folder "[BOOT]" in the "WINXPCD" folder then delete it.

4. Now download the Program WinToFlash at "http://www.wintoflash.com/home/en/" and install it.

5. Start the WinToFlash Program and the Wizard will now help you to do the rest, but note that the "Windows files path:" is the "WINXPCD" folder and the "USB drive:" is the USB Flash drive that is connected to the Computer.

6. If you done then restart your computer and press the key to enter the "Boot Menu Option" and select the USB device with the Windows XP on it. If the computer starts and there is no key to enter the "Boot Menu Option" then press the key for the for the "BIOS Settings Menu" and set the Boot Priority for the USB devices above the Hard disk drive and then select save and exit.
