USB flash Drive Installation XP

ZC: When phase 1th ends in phase 2nd, it is still necessary to manually select USB boot (if the BIOS is not modified for USB boot)

ZC: I use the WINSETUPFROMUSB, is the article tail of that version of the software interface.

Zc:win7 or the use of UltraISO, convenient point

ZC: The reason for abandoning old Peaches: There are ads in the installed system ... Can plug in ads can plug in malicious software not at ease ...

Computer This period of time use is Win7, but feel really too slow, really can't stand, so still return to XP, anyway office2003 use is quite cool,
Classic collocation AH.
But searched the online installation method, all are PE installation, or hard disk installation, but I want to use a U-disk installation, but like Win7 can directly from the U disk Boot
Install directly, but after using the UltraISO software found XP and Win7 is completely different, Win7 direct hard disk burning image can be completed, but XP will be error,
Baidu found that almost a lot of people have this problem, the reason may be that the XP system does not support such a high-level boot mode, so only PE installation, but it feels too laborious,
Then Baidu, Hope appeared,winsetupfromusb make u disk installation. and found tutorials and software. The tutorial is posted here to make a backup, and the software
Also to everyone in the rear. For later use.

Original system recommended MSDN I tell you (http://msdn.itellyou.cn/)

WinSetupFromUSB Making U Disk Installation WinXP Graphic Tutorials (reproduced)Using the UltraISO hard drive to burn the XP system appears "INF file Txtsetup.sif is corrupt or missing. Status 18 "error is not going to proceed.

Today I would like to introduce another tool to make WinXP installation of USB-WinSetupFromUSB.

In fact, WinSetupFromUSB is a very powerful self-starting USB drive production tool, you can complete the winxp/vista/win7 u disk installation, complete the same disk multi-Windows installation source of the U disk production and Linux boot installation and other functions. Today, let's take a look at how to make WinXP to install the USB flash drive. With WINSETUPFROMUSB installation of the U disk success rate is extremely high, is a test lark. And it's a good thing compared to UltraISO is that you don't need an ISO image of the installation disk, only the I386 directory with the installation files.

Download WinSetupFromUSB v0.2.3 version (: http://5.ankty.com:801/2010/WinSetupFromUSB_ Ankty.rar) (This is the latest version, added support for NTFS, it is recommended to use this version, note: I tried as if I can not use, here can be used http://pan.baidu.com/s/1tdrzm download). After the installation is complete, plug in the USB flash drive to make the image and run the Winsetupfromusb_0-2-3.exe program:

Interface such as:

At this time you may find the USB disk selection where and do not see your USB stick, no relationship, directly click on the "RMPrepUSB" button to open the following Startup disk making tool:

This time you can see the USB stick you inserted. Tick "Boot as HDD (2PTNS)", "XP Bootable[ntldr]" and "NTFS" (USB drive format, which can greatly improve the writing speed, suggest selection), then click "Prepare" button to format:

Click the OK button to continue:

Click the Confirm button again to formally start the format, and then you can close the RMPrepUSB tool (that is, click the Exit button) page back to the beginning of the main program interface as follows:

Click the "Refresh" button on the right side of the USB disk selection to select the USB flash drive you just formatted in the dropdown box. Then click the "Browse" button next to Windows 2000/xp/2003 Source to select the directory where the Windows installation files are located-the parent directory of the I386 directory (meaning you need to extract the original CD-ROM). Then you can click "GO" to start the installation of the USB flash drive:

After about 20 minutes of the file copy, the program will pop up the above prompt box (that is, the bottom left corner of the progress bar completed, and the lower right corner of the same number of files, indicating that the copy is complete, directly determine the installation of the U disk is completed). This tip is to tell you that in the process of installing WinXP should keep the USB stick insert status until the system restarts two times (once the text mode installation is a graphical interface installation), before you can unplug the USB drive using the local hard drive boot. In fact, this and with the CD-ROM installation process is the same, the previous two reboots before the installation CD is not allowed to exit, or will not find the installation source and error stop. (When installing the interface when the installation is completed and restarted, you must unplug the U-disk, or you may enter the installation interface again)

So far a bootable installation of the USB drive installation disk is finished, because WINSETUPFROMUSB using the Grub4dos boot system, and ordinary disc boot is not the same, the author specifically explained. After inserting the USB stick into the system and booting, the following interface appears:

Direct enter or nothing press until 10 seconds to automatically enter the boot installation:

Here is the two-time question that prompted the previous message. The first entry is selected by default, first part of Windows XP Professional Setup, followed by the first stage installation of WinXP (that is, the DOS interface content that selects the installation partition and copies the file) Automatically restarts this option to automatically jump to the second item, both of which are either directly in the carriage or nothing is pressed until 10 seconds to automate the subsequent installation process. When you restart again, you can unplug the USB flash drive (note), and WinXP will automatically boot with the local hard drive to complete the final installation.

In addition, the use of WINSETUPFROMUSB can also complete the installation of vista/win7, the previous process is the same, the difference is that the above process of selecting the installation source file is not the point "Windows 2000/xp/2003 source" next to "Browse" button, instead, tick the right "VISTA/7 source" and click the "..." button to select the installation source. (This has not been tried, recommended Win7 or using UltraISO production.) ）

The author is also preferred to use UltraISO to make a disk drive mirror disk, because UltraISO write fast, and the actual operation and the use of the CD-ROM installation is exactly the same. However, if you encounter an "INF file Txtsetup.sif is corrupt or missing. Status 18 "error, or the ease of use WINSETUPFROMUSB to make the installation disk bar ~

WinSetupFromUSB formatting errors encountered in making the installation disk

The first two days received the mail, netizen "time" according to the author wrote "Use WinSetupFromUSB to make U disk installation WinXP Graphics Tutorial" to make USB boot disk, in the use of RMPREPUSB formatted USB flash drive that step when the error occurred and abnormal termination. The error message is "ERROR:FS has been wiped (and not completed)" as shown in:

Finally, the problem is that because the version of the RMPrepUSB software that is integrated in WINSETUPFROMUSB is too low, it causes the production to expire when an exception error occurs when using NTFS format to format the large USB flash drive. The solution is:

To download the new version of RMPrepUSB (: Http://www.megaupload.com/?d=CTAUR2ED), run the RMPrepUSB.exe and format the USB flash drive by following these option steps:

After the format is complete, in accordance with the above method to make the startup disk, but remember this time will not have to WINSETUPFROMUSB midpoint RMPrepUSB format!

The latest version of RMPrepUSB made a lot of corrections, especially for the vista/win7 support will be better. So if you have to use Win7 users may wish to use this version of the RMPREPUSB to format the USB flash drive.

summary of issues that occur during installation1, the system installed in the process of some problems, if the time to buy the computer will appear a few problems, the beginning of the installation when the identification of the hard disk is not out of the case.
Workaround: Through the network search, enter the BIOS settings, there is a drive mode, there are two options, IDE and AHCI, if you are currently using AHCI you may not see the hard disk, select the IDE can be seen.

2, after installing the system, if you are completely new installation, repartitioning, this should be no problem (but I did not try). If you are using the previous partition, not re-divided but directly in the original C-drive installation Then there will be a drive letter confusion.
Workaround: Start--Control Panel--management tool--Computer Management--Disk Management--right-click to change drive name and path. Select the required drive letter.
