ways to start Windows XP system with USB
TechRepublic's bill Detwiler made a video tutorial on how to make Windows XP USB boot disk, you need a bootable USB drive, your computer BIOS to support USB boot, and you need to download a called PE Builder of free programs. Finally, we need Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 to get two files out of it, and, of course, you need to have a Windows XP installation CD.
The following is a brief step
Download the PE Builder and install and build a SRSP1 subfolder under the PE Builder installation directory, which is the storage location of the two files extracted from Windows Server 2003 SP1.
The name of the Windows Server 2003 SP1 package you downloaded is generally Windowsserver2003-kb889101-sp1-enu.exe, use the command to run the following command to unlock the files in the upgrade package to a temporary folder: Windowsserver2003-kb889101-sp1-enu.exe- X
Then from the file of the Windows Server 2003 SP installation package that you untied, copy the following two files to the SRSP1 folder created in the first step:
Setupldr.bin
Ramdisk.sy_
To run the PE Builder to create a compressed version of Windows XP, you only need to provide your Windows XP CD-ROM with the same letter in the PE Builder run interface, other press default. Press ' build ' to begin the creation process.
Finally, the U disk into the computer, in the command to enter the PE Builder installation directory, run the following command: Pe2usb-f e: (e: Is your u disk in your system allocation of the letter, if you use another disk drive, please do something else, such as G:)
At this point, you have successfully made a bootable USB disk, you can use this disk to support the USB boot machine to boot the system.
USB boot system is actually used to start with a USB drive, I believe we all have it, if we are tired of the current starting mode can try the new method, in fact, it is also very easy.
