USB Stick Installation System (XP 2003)

I'm using the old Peaches WinPE system.

The installation process consists of several steps:
1) Create a USB drive boot disk for the WinPE system;
2) Create or obtain an image file (. iso file) of the operating system installation disk;
3) Modify the BOIS startup settings to start from the USB stick;
4) Start the WinPE system via USB drive, create the virtual CD drive under WinPE, and load the ISO file of the operating system installation disk;
5) Execute the system installer from the virtual optical drive and start installing the operating system.

The steps and considerations are detailed below:
One, create a USB drive boot disk for the WinPE system
The tools you need to prepare for this step are: a WinPE system image file: The old peaches WinPE USB flash drive version. ISO; a green version of the UltraISO.exe program; "Old peaches WinPE u disk version" on the internet there are many versions can be downloaded, here do not provide a URL. These versions can be broadly divided into two types, a lite version of about 25MB in size. One is a full version of approximately 109MB in size. The full version is different from the lite version except that there are a lot of common tools available in WinPE, such as GHOST, virtual CD-ROM software, disk utility and so on, while the lite version has only the basic functionality of WinPE. In the subsequent installation steps need to use the virtual CD-ROM in WinPE, so selected the full version of the old Peaches WinPE U disk version _ final modified version V09.11. The green version of UltraISO.exe is the WinPE boot disk used to format the USB flash drive and create a USB flash drive based on the WinPE image file. UltraISO.exe only one program file, run directly. Usually downloaded "old peaches WinPE USB version" of the compression package will contain, if not also can go next alone.
To create a process:
A, run UltraISO.exe, click the menu "file--open", select "Old Peaches WinPE u disk version." ISO image file, dot

"OK";
b, click on the Menu "Start disc, write hard disk image", in the popup dialog box, "Hard Drive" in the drop-down list of the column

Select your USB drive, and then set "Write by".
There are two ways to write: "usb-hdd+" and "usb-zip+", and I'm not sure what the difference is between the two, but the online profile

It is generally considered that the "usb-zip+" approach is better compatible. I used the former "usb-hdd+" method in this installation.
Then click on the "Write" button to complete the creation process if you are prompted successfully. Here's how:
Note: This step will format your entire USB flash drive, please save the required files in the USB flash drive to another place before operation.

(or simply unzip the WinPE ISO file and then go to setup and install it directly to the USB stick)

Two, start the USB drive WinPE system for recovery system

(ii), The first method: Use the PE system to load the virtual optical drive for XP system installation:

[1], in PE, "Start"-"program"-"Disk Disc tool"-click Virtual Driver Manger;
[2], in the window, "load "-Browse"-select that 600 m XP system image File-"open"-"OK",
[3], do not close the Virtual Driver Manger window at this time, turn on "My Computer" again, under "Removable Storage Device", a more CD drive, The virtual CD drive is successful.
[4], double-click on the CD drive letter, open after you see the XP System installation folder and files, run setup.exe,  in which to install the system.
[5], the installation interface of the XP system, the same as we usually reinstall the XP system in the Windows system interface. Select the first item, install Windows XP, and then select New Installation, Next.
[6], enter the XP installation serial number, click Next.
[7], this step is very critical, to click on "Advanced Options" from which to set up, the next step.
[8], in the "Installation" option, be sure to check "Copy all installation files from the installation CD" and "I want to select the drive letter and disk partition during installation", the other remains the default.
[9], directly unplug the USB flash drive. (Because of the experience of others: do not unplug the next step of the copy installation files are copied to the USB stick instead of copied to the C drive. USB stick can not exit normally, only forcibly unplug, after unplugging does not affect the PE system and virtual CD-ROM operation.
[10], click Next. "Get updated installation Files", no, click Next.
[11], start copying files to drive C. I was in this step of the problem. Tip: "The application or dll,b:\ external program \internet explorer\urlmon.dll  to an invalid Windows image, please check your installation disk again." "When you click OK, exit the installation. The
has been tested many times. To find a solution on the internet is not the result, simply give up the use of virtual optical drive to load the installation system method.

Rest of the introduction

Create or get an image file (. iso file) of the operating system installation disk There are many different versions of the system installation disk image files available for download, usually in. iso format. If you do not want to use the online download version, you can also create an ISO image file based on your own system installation CD. Run the UltraISO program, click the menu "Tools, make disc image file", according to the interface to boot to create image files, the process is relatively simple, not detailed here. I use this operation is the depth of the "Deepin_ghostxp_sp3_zhizun_v10.0.iso", which is a Ghost version of the operating system, the installation process quickly.
Note: Using some system installation disk images may cause errors that cannot be installed through the virtual CD drive under WinPE. I tried a self-extracting non-ghost version of the system installation disk image under WinPE installation, can be loaded into the virtual CD-ROM, but an error occurred while running the Setup program. The specific reasons are not yet known and may be related to the installation program of the CD itself. Copy the operating system disc image file to the non-system partition of the target machine you want to install, or copy to the boot disk if your WinPE startup disk space is large enough.
Modify the startup setting of the BOIS to perform the installed computer from the USB flash drive boot reboot, set the preferred boot device to start from "usb-hdd+" or "usb-zip+" in BOIS, consistent with the "write as" setting when the WinPE Startup disk was created in the first step. After the setup is complete, insert the USB flash drive and press "F10" to save BOIS to exit, and the computer will reboot after booting from the USB flash drive of the WinPE system. Launch the WinPE system via USB flash drive, create a virtual CD drive under WinPE, and load the ISO file of the operating system installation disk
I use the operation of the "Old Peaches WinPE u disk version _ final modified version of V09.11" system itself has a virtual CD-ROM software, so after entering the WinPE system, from "Start menu-All Programs" to find and open the virtual optical drive program, follow the prompts to create a virtual drive, Then load the operating system to install the image file to the virtual drive. Execute the system installer from the virtual optical drive and start installing the operating system from the virtual drive to select the Setup program to install. After the installation program starts, usually its installation process is: A, first copy the installation files, B, and then restart the computer, C, the computer after the restart to continue the remaining installation process.
It is important to note that the preferred boot device in the BOIS setting reverts to "boot from hard disk" before restarting to the System boot menu in the second step of restarting the computer. Then press "F10" to save and restart, after which the installation process is no different from the usual installation.
　　
Summary, online about no optical drive through the WinPE USB flash drive To install a lot of information, but because each person encountered the hardware and software environment varies, intact copy online method does not necessarily work, need to according to their own actual situation of flexible strain. This experience is also in my own hardware and software environment to achieve the success of the summary, under some conditions may be unexpected, for example, some USB flash drive may be a compatibility issue resulting in the inability to make WinPE u disk boot disk. And some computer motherboard because is the early production model, does not support from the USB boot, in this case can not be directly in accordance with this method, the online data mentioned in the Maxdos of creating a Dos virtual optical drive may be a way to try the direction.
