Install Windows XP system using U disk

Friends who use netbooks know that netbooks do not have optical drives. Therefore, the use of the system is cautious, for fear of what happened. But if there is a situation: the system is broken, the optical drive is broken, only a U disk, this time how to do? Mass production can solve the problem, but now the mass production seems to be a master's patent, the average person is difficult to succeed. But the method is more than the problem, now have such a thought, is using U disk WinPE boot installation of Windows XP, the specific approach is how, and then I introduce to you.

Actual combat:

U disk Startup Disk production:

1, u disk Format: The proposed use of 1G capacity above the U disk (because to copy the system and U disk startup software, so there is enough space), first use Flashboot to format the U disk into USB-HDD or usb-zip one of these two modes, I chose Usb-zip this mode.

2, U disk version WinPE: Think up in the DOS install XP under the pain, so ready to use U disk version WinPE after the implementation of XP system installation, and later testing is indeed feasible. I downloaded on the internet is the old peaches WinPE U plate, inside in addition to WinPE outside also a variety of common tools, decompression after the file is copied into the format of a good u disk on it.

Windows XP System Installation:

1, set the U disk start: Press F2 key after the boot into the BIOS settings, the boot menu will be the third USB boot option open, that is, select Enabled, save and exit the BIOS settings.

2, will be ready before the XP installation disk all copied into the U disk, and then insert a U disk and boot, directly into the U disk startup, the Launch menu, choose to Start Micro-win-pe (by the old Peaches), after entering the WinPE system. XP installation disk from the U disk into the small section of the C area, I am two partitions, that is, the copy in D area, and then directly run the installation disk folder SETUP.EXE file, there will be familiar with the XP installation interface, follow the prompts step-by-step to complete it.

I do not like to use the online ghost installation disk, feel the normal installation of a more stable step by step, all installed after the Gohst backup, easy to restore use later. If you are accustomed to using ghost restore way to install the system friends, directly to the mirror file into the U disk and copy to the C area outside the division, using the old Peaches WinPE with the Norton GHOST32 will directly restore the system to the C area can be.
