This tutorial describes how you can boot to WinPE v2 or v3 from a USB drive on your target’ system, then partition and format the hard disk and then install XP onto that hard disk. This method is slow as you have to run the complete Win XP Setup process, both the text mode part and the GUI part, which takes about 20-30 minutes. You can choose from several different XP installations by placing each i386 XP CD source folder into a separate folder on the USB drive and installing the one that you want onto the target hard drive. For a similar single-boot method that uses Windows XP ISO files, see Tutorial 82. Recommended You can also make an Easy2Boot MultiBoot USB drive and just copy all your Windows XP Install ISO files and 100’s of others! to it and install Windows. If you use the DPMS version of Easy2Boot you can install to a SATA or SCSI system directly from the XP Install ISO file without needing to modify it. INSTALLING TO AN IDE XP COMPATIBLE SYSTEM Outline of the this Method Create a bootable WinPE USB driveCopy any Microsoft Windows XP CD or XP ISO contents to a folder on the USB driveBoot using the USB drive on the target system and wipe, partition and format the hard diskCopy the XP 32-bit version files to the hard disk from the USB driveRun the file will be on the hard disk after copying from the USB driveReboot and allow XP Setup to continue 1. Download and install the Windows 7 WAIK to obtain the ImageX utility and WinPE files For instructions on how to do this, please refer to the first part of my tutorial here or follow the Make_PE3 tutorial. Follow the instruction up to the point where a WinPE folder has been created Step 1 You can create either an x86 version recommended or an amd64 64-bit version. Create a new folder C\MYXP on your office computer. Copy the c\pe86\ISO folder contents to C\MYXP C\MYXP should now contain bootmgr, folders \boot, \sources, \efi, etc. 2. Obtain a Microsoft Windows XP installation CD or ISO or set of NLited files that you wish to install Create a new folder on your Windows office computer hard disk called C\MYXP\XPPRO\i386 assuming you have XP Professional Copy all the files in the CD’s i386 folder to C\MYXP\XPPRO\i386 folder Ensure that the file C\MYXP\XPPRO\i386\ is present and has been correctly modified by you see end of this page for an example Note XP does not contain AHCI or some SCSI/SATA drivers – either you must set your BIOS menu for Hard Disk mode to compatible/legacy’ hard disk mode or you must use a specially modified version of XP use nLite. Now prepare a WinPE v3 bootmgr bootable USB drive using RMPrepUSB and copy over the C\MYXP folder to the USB drive – please refer to the part 2 of my tutorial here. Note NTFS formatting is recommended for speed. The USB drive should now contain an \XPPRO folder as well as the winpe folders \sources, \boot, etc. 3. Boot from the WinPE USB drive using the target system that you wish to install Windows XP onto. Now run DISKPART and type the following commands assuming you want a two partitions on the hard disk – only type the commands shown in capital letters DISKPART run diskpart utility LIS DIS lists the disks present SEL DIS 0 select disk zero usually the first hard disk CLEAN wipes the selected disk CRE PAR PRI SIZE=30000 ALIGN=16065 create a 30GB primary partition for XP change as required – if this gives an error use 64260 instead of 16065. FOR QUICK LABEL=SYSTEM format it as NTFS add FS=FAT32 if you don’t want an NTFS partition ASSIGN LETTER=J assign it the drive letter J ACT make it the boot partition CRE PAR PRI create another NTFS partition of remaining size optional FOR QUICK format it optional ASSIGN assign it a drive letter optional LIS VOL list volume letters EXIT quit diskpart you now should have a formatted hard disk ready to receive files. 5. Now you need to run from the drive containing the source i386 folder if D is the USB drive to start the copy of the XP install files to the hard disk as follows D\i386\ /unattend10J\i386\ /syspartJ /tempdriveJ /makelocalsource thanks to João Santos for the tip of adding /makelocalsource!. To install a different XP source – D\XPHOME\i386 or D\XPPRO\i386 just change the path accordingly. /makelocalsource – Instructs Setup to copy all installation source files to your local hard disk. Use /makelocalsource when installing from a CD to provide installation files when the CD is not available later in the installation. The i386 files will be taken from the same folder that is located when it is run. /noreboot – Instructs Setup not to restart the computer after the file-copy stage of Setup finishes, so that you can execute another command. /syspart – On an x86-based computer, this parameter specifies that you can copy Setup startup files to a hard disk, mark the disk as active, and then install the disk onto another computer. When you start the computer onto which you have installed the disk, it automatically starts with the next phase of Setup. You must always use the /tempdrive parameter with the /syspart parameter. You can start with the /syspart option on an x86-based computer running Windows NT Windows 2000, or Windows XP Professional. The computer cannot be running Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows Millennium Edition. /tempdrive – Directs Setup to place temporary files on the specified partition. For a new installation, Windows is installed on the specified partition. For an upgrade, the /tempdrive option affects the placement of temporary files only; the operating system is upgraded in the partition from which you run /unattend[num][answer_file] Performs a fresh installation of Windows in unattended mode using the specified answer file. Setup downloads the Dynamic Update files from the Windows Update Web site and includes these files in the installation. The specified answer_file provides Setup with your custom specifications. 5. When the setup phase completes and returns you to the command line you can reboot by typing wpeutil reboot Now remove the USB drive and allow the target PC to boot and start the textmode 1st setup phase. Note that unless you have added AHCI drivers or press F6, the BIOS must be set to IDE compatible mode or you will get the dreaded BSOD 0x0000007b error! TIP The XP files are many and the file copy is thus quite slow and very slow if using FAT32 on the UFD. You can speed this up by using 7zip instead of a file copy. Just zip up the XPPRO folder and place the zip file on your USB drive instead of the XP I386 files, then extract the files to the hard disk using the 7zip e or x option. You can also extract a zip file from a network as pulling a zip file across a network is a lot less data than pulling over all of the i386 files and therefore much faster! Remove the /makelocalsource switch if you do this. Tip You can easily automate the steps from 3 to 6 – diskpart /s xcopy /herky \XPPRO\i386\*.* J\i386\*.* J cd \i386 winnt32 /unattend10J\i386\ /syspartJ /tempdriveJ /sJ\i386 /noreboot echo Finished – please remove your USB drive now! wpeutil reboot where the file contains the diskpart commands in step 3 except for the first DISKPART line, of course. WinPE has networking The i386 files do not need to be on your USB drive, they can be on any networked computer. Just create a shared folder on your office’ PC or server – right-click on the C\MYXP folder and choose share with’ to share it out. The WinPE USB drive will need to have the correct network drive for the target system. To install the correct network driver when you have booted to WinPE from your USB pen, type DRVLOAD F\WIN7DRIV\ where the USB drive folder F\WIN7DRV contains the correct win7 driver files .inf, .sys, .dll, .cat etc. for your hardware wait a minute or so afterwards for networking to start up. Now connect to your networked shared folder on your office PC using the command NET USE N \\mypc\MYXP Umyworkgroup\myloginname [Enter] and then type in your password when prompted. Now dir N should list the contents of the MYXP folder on your office computer. So you can now install any XP image across the network and you don’t need the XP files on the USB drive at all, just change the XCOPY source folder in the example above to point to your N network folder. Another tip is to back up the XP install once it has finished installation. Then you can easily and quickly restore your XP install at any time in the future – see Tutorial 1 for details!

Running a Windows XP USB Install might be useful for example if you wish to perform an Install on an older Netbook or Laptop that does not have a CD or DVD Drive. One of the simplest approaches to accomplish this goal is to make use of the YUMI Your Universal Multiboot Installer can be used to put much more than just Windows XP on a USB drive. You can also use the tool to make a Windows 10 boot USB, or boot from several Live Linux distributions, virus and malware scanners, system diagnostic tools, recovery and cloning utilities, and much from one single Multiboot bootable USB device. In addition to being able to add new ISOs on the fly, this Multisystem software tool can also be used to remove previously installed ISO files, all at your a Windows Bootable USB. First, you will need an ISO file of your Installation Disk. For this task, I simply used the LC ISO Creator to create an ISO image of my original and launch the YUMI Multiboot Bootable USB Creator.1 Select your USB Drive Letter from the dropdown list.2 Select Windows XP Installer towards the bottom of the list of distributions.3 Browse to and select the ISO file you created earlier.4 Click the process is complete, reboot your PC, set your BIOS or UEFI Boot Menu to boot from USB, and then proceed to boot your startup, if all went well, you should be presented with your very own Windows XP Bootable USB Installer that was created with the help of the YUMI media creation tool. ;Enabling you to boot Windows from USB instead of using a CD or DVD ROM for installation media.

Format the partition: Right-click the USB drive partition and choose Format. Select the FAT32 file system to be able to boot either BIOS-based or UEFI-based PCs.
For a long time, Microsoft didn’t sell Windows install media in the form of bootable USB flash drives. Instead, it prefered to stick to old-school DVD media, despite the fact that many notebooks today are too small to even include an optical drive, and many DIYers are building PCs which forego one on purpose. However, things have moved on, and for the first time, Microsoft has begun to sell Windows 10 on pre-configured USB drives. Previous versions of the OS XP, 7 and all require the user to create their own bootable USB drive. Creating a bootable Windows USB drive used to be a chore, but today, one solution can pretty-well suit most people. However, there are times when a flash drive has some quirk that prevents it from working with a particular solution, so for that reason, this article takes a look at five different methods. Guide Index USB Installer Tools & Successes Acquiring a Disc Image ISO Method 1 – Using Rufus Method 2 – UNetbootin Method 3 – Using Microsoft diskpart Method 4 – Microsoft Windows 7 USB/DVD Tool Method 5 – Windows 10 Media Creation Tool Windows XP Notes Common Problems Benefits of USB Install Media Even if the target desktop or notebook has an optical drive, there are a couple of reasons to consider first creating a USB-based installer. Admittedly, the time and effort of creating the drive might make it best-suited for system builders, but for people like us, who juggle test machines, USB is a no-brainer. To start, USB media is more durable than disc-based media. Discs can be easily scratched, while well-built USB flash drives can generally handle a bit of abuse. Then, there’s the convenience. Ever walk around with a disc in your pocket? It looks a bit odd. For us, performance and reliability are the key reasons why we’ve opted to use USB-based installers in lieu of discs, especially with USB being much more common. Even if a DVD has been burned at the highest commercial speeds, it won’t be able to compete with flash memory which offers far improved IOPS performance operations per second – it’s the same reason why SSDs are much faster for booting an OS and loading applications than a mechanical hard drive; the seek times are minuscule in comparison. While it’s beyond the scope of this article, those who truly want a fast install experience can slipstream USB support into the install media, which on current chipsets and an SSD target can allow you to install Windows in under 4 minutes flat. USB Installer Tools & Successes Over the course of this article, we’re going to be looking at five different solutions that accomplish the exact same thing Creating a USB-based Windows installer; if one doesn’t work, the next one should at least, that’s the hope. To give an overview of what to expect from each solution, refer to this success table Windows 10 Windows 8 Windows 7 Windows XP Rufus Yes* Yes Yes Yes UNetbootin Yes Yes Yes No diskpart Yes Yes Yes No Microsoft USB Tool Yes Yes Yes No Media Creation Tool Yes No No No * Requires Rufus or later. Given the fact that Windows XP has reached end-of-life status and doesn’t officially support installation over USB, we have to outline a number of problems and conditions in order to get it working. Windows XP over USB is still temperamental, and there is a good chance that it just won’t work with your system, so please keep this in mind. For starters, modern UEFI-equipped machines are not designed to support such an old OS, so chances are that it will not even install, or even be detected in the first place. If the motherboard in question happens to support a legacy BIOS mode, then it might work. Different version of Rufus explained later have better luck with the XP process than others. We strongly suggest you skip to the dedicated part of this article that explains the problems with Windows XP and USB support. What about Windows Vista? Like Windows 7, 8, and 10, Vista too can be installed from USB media with these same methods, but due to that fact that most have moved on from it in favor of 10, it’s not a big focus. We mentioned Rufus above, and that’s the tool we’re going to lead in here with, as we consider it to be the simplest to use, and the most effective. We discussed the same tool in an article from summer 2012 called Creating a Bootable DOS Flash Drive the Easy Way, as it allows for simple creation of bootable MS-DOS flash drives, as the title suggests. After the look at Rufus, we’ll continue on to UNetbootin, Microsoft’s diskpart a tool built into Windows, a quick mention of another official Microsoft tool, but one the company no longer promotes for Windows 7 and 8, as well as the latest method, the Media Creation Tool. But first… Acquiring a Disc Image ISO Some solutions listed on this page require a Windows disc image .iso to be present. The exception is diskpart’, as the disc’s files will need to be transferred over manually it doesn’t matter if they come from a mounted ISO or a drive in an actual DVD-ROM. ISOs are available from a number of sources, but most people will acquire them after purchasing the OS online through Microsoft, or through some other related Microsoft service. If you don’t have an ISO, or a disc for that matter, you’ll need to acquire one from a friend or elsewhere on the web. If you’re just looking to download Windows 10 as an ISO, you simply need to run the tool listed in step 5, and choose to save as ISO rather than to burn the image to a flash drive. Note that we can’t really provide an MD5 for a Windows 10 ISO, as it changes every time it’s downloaded through Microsoft’s tool. Only the ISOs directly supplied by Microsoft would have static hashes. There are multiple editions of any given Windows version, but we’re going to list the exact ISOs we used along with their MD5 checksums in case they prove useful. MD5 Checksums Windows XP Pro Service Pack 3 F424A52153E6E5ED4C0D44235CF545D5 Windows 7 Ultimate Service Pack 1 56A26636EC667799F5A7F42F142C772D Windows 8 Pro 0E8F2199FAE18FE510C23426E68F675A Windows MSDN; multi-version CDADC5A76634651770A365F457702803 Please be careful where you source your OS image from, as most online sources will be pirated copies and/or bundled with extra sometimes malicious software. How the image was captured as well will have an effect on how the final boot drive turns out, so stick to official sources where possible. For those who have a Windows setup DVD, a free tool like CDBurnerXP or ImgBurn can be used to rip it into an .iso file. Other tools exist that accomplish the same thing, but these are the only ones we can personally recommend. For mounting an ISO image, we’d recommend Virtual CloneDrive, as it’s free, and not the “free but a total nag” kind of free. NOTE Some anti-virus applications might interfere with the USB creation process due to the autorun properties involved, so if issues are experienced, we’d recommend temporarily disabling the anti-virus until the process is complete. Using Rufus Both Rufus and UNetbootin are simple tools for this task, and outside of Rufus’ Windows XP support, both work just the same. However, we prefer Rufus because we find it loads a lot quicker, and feels a bit faster, too. For a great many reasons, this is still our preferred method of creating USB boot drives. With Rufus loaded up, choose the appropriate device that you want to turn into a boot drive, under the “Device” menu, and make sure that the file system is NTFS not FAT32. The other options shouldn’t matter too much, although if you’re planning to install Windows 8 as an official EFI OS, you may wish to peruse the options under the “Partition scheme and target system type” menu. For Windows XP, select MBR Partition only. To load the Windows .iso file, the small CD icon to the right of “Create a bootable disk using” option can be clicked. After perusing the file manager for the ISO image and accepting it, the “Start” button can be clicked to have the tool work its magic. NOTE As the program will state, doing this will erase all data off of the flash drive – so backup first. If you have any issues, be sure to check out our Common Problems section below. Using UNetbootin UNetbootin is a well-known tool as it’s become a de facto choice for turning a bootable Linux live CD into a bootable Linux live flash drive – for that purpose, it still excels. Little do most people realize, it can handle Windows ISOs as well but as the table at the top of this page shows, it doesn’t support creating a bootable Windows XP drive. Like with Rufus, the appropriate drive should be selected from the “Drive” menu at the bottom, and then the “…” button to the right of the largest text field can be clicked to search for and accept the required ISO. At this point, the “OK” can be clicked, and the process will get underway. Unlike Rufus, UNetbootin doesn’t erase the flash drive first, so data remains intact – however, if you’re repeatedly writing new ISOs to the drive using the tool, it’s recommended you format after each one, so as to not leave unused scrap files around the drive. NOTE We’d still recommend backing up personal data before writing an ISO to it just in case. Using Microsoft diskpart For those who don’t have an ISO, but rather a DVD, diskpart is the solution for you. It does require some command-line usage, but as you’ll see, it’s not too complicated. NOTE This method will delete the entire flash drive, so be sure to back up personal data first. To make proper use of diskpart, you’ll need to open a command prompt with administrator rights head to “Start”, type in cmd’, right-click it, and choose Open as Administrator’. Once the prompt is opened, type in diskpart’ to load the tool, and then list disk’ to figure out which relates to your flash drive. External storage should appear at the end of the list, and in our case, it did we’re using a 32GB flash drive, which appears here as 29GB. Once the appropriate drive is figured-out, it can be chosen using the select disk ’ command. Once selected, it needs to be wiped clean, have a partition created, and then be formatted. The entire command process is summed-up in this block list disk – shows available disks, look carefully for the one that looks like your flash drive select disk – change to the disk flash drive you wish to use clean – removes existing partions create partition primary select partition 1 active format fs=ntfs quick assign exit For those who might want to see this in action, we provide this screenshot Note that “quick” can be removed off of the format command to run a full format, but that might take minutes to tens of minutes depending on the drive as it’s more thorough. At this point, the Windows setup DVD can be inserted into the drive, or the ISO mounted, and its files copied over to the root folder of the flash drive. After the process is done, opening up the flash drive in the file manager should mirror the contents of the Windows DVD/ISO. Using Microsoft Windows 7 USB/DVD Tool After the Windows 7 launch, Microsoft released its own USB creator tool that supported its official ISOs. While the company no longer promotes the tool, it supports at least 7 and 8 just fine, so some might prefer to use it over the other solutions. Once downloaded and opened, an ISO must be chosen. After that, the “USB Device” option needs to be clicked this same tool can also burn straight to a DVD. At the last screen, the appropriate flash dive needs to be selected from the menu, and after hitting “Begin copying”, the entire process will be complete after just a couple of minutes. Truthfully, Microsoft’s tool here might be the easiest of them all to use, but because the company isn’t promoting it in any way, shape, or form note that it’s called the Windows 7 USB/DVD tool, and not Windows 7 & 8 USB/DVD tool, we feel that it’s right to quicker recommend the other often updated solutions first. Using Windows 10 Media Creation Tool If you plan to install Windows 10 on a new system, use it to recover an existing system, or upgrade a previous install of Windows 7 or 8, creating a bootable flash drive is the first step. Windows 10 is the first Microsoft OS that not only natively supports USB installs, but encourages it and even sells USB drives ready-to-go. The process with Windows 10 is not much different from Windows 7 and 8/ like above, but is made simpler by the fact that you don’t even need the disk image first, as you can download it directly from Microsoft, complete with all the latest service packs already installed. The whole process for creating a Windows 10 bootable USB drive can be done by using the Media Creation Tool; most systems these days will use the 64-bit version, so grab that. Once you’ve downloaded the tool, run it and you’ll be presented with the media creation process. The gallery below outlines each step of the process for the basic method. There are a few things you might need to check first. Depending on where you plan to install Windows 10, you need to check which version you require, Home or Pro. NOTE The contents of the USB flash drive will be erased, so make sure you back it up first. Select 'Create installation media for another PC' to begin the process. We'll be creating the bootable USB flash drive with the tool, so select the first option. Select the version of Windows 10 that you require, in this case, we went with Home 64-bit. Choose the USB drive that you wish to turn into the bootable media. Only Flash media will show on the list. The drive will need at least 4GB of free space. NOTE The flash drive will be formatted, so make backups first. Wait for the tool to finish downloading. Depending on your Internet connection, this could be from a few minutes to a few hours. Once the Windows 10 image has downloaded, it will automatically begin creating the boot media on the drive you selected. This can take a few minutes. If everything when according to plan, the Media Creation Tool will declare success and you are ready to use your new Windows 10 bootable USB drive. The version you pick here at the beginning really doesn’t matter, since your license key will determine the version you can use, and the OS will change and configure itself based on that key. The N version of each OS type is for the EU compliant version, but truth be told, there isn’t anything different about it at this time. You can pick 64-bit as well, or both 32/64-bit if you are unsure or plan on using the bootable flash drive on different systems. The Media Creation Tool can can be used to just download the ISO image of Windows 10, which can then be used with something like Rufus to create the bootable USB drive. This offers the advantage of being able to keep a backup of the ISO image, as well as create multiple boot drives without having to download the image each time. If you run into problems with the Media Creation Tool when it comes to creating the bootable flash drive, you can use the following method. Instead of selecting USB Flash Drive in the Media Creation Tool, just select ISO File instead, choose a location to save the file, and after it’s downloaded, follow the steps outlined in the Rufus guide above. In general, we found this method more reliable than using the Media Creation Tool to create the Windows 10 bootable flash drive, and ther are a number of other advantages to using Rufus as well. NOTE When you let the Media Creation Tool handle the entire process of making the USB boot drive, there is a small problem when dealing with USB drives larger than 32GB. The tool will only create a single partition up to 32GB and then completely ignore the rest of the drive, and Windows-based operating systems can only handle a single partition on USB flash drives. If you create the boot drive with Rufus, it’ll use the entire drive, so 64GB and 128GB flash drives will have the full disk space made available. Windows XP Notes If you are attempting to use Windows XP on a USB drive, there are a couple of things to bear in mind. First off, we strongly recommend using Rufus 32-bit version to setup XP on a USB flash drive over the other methods, as its success rate is much better. If installing with Rufus doesn’t work the first time, change the partition mode to MBR for BIOS only. Making XP boot over USB is a little tricky as well, because it’s much more sensitive to the age of the hardware and the system you are using it with. As far as we know, the 32-bit ISO image of XP is the only compatible version that can be put on a bootable flash drive success for XP 64-bit was limited. One of the key points though is that you can’t use a USB port when installing, even with EHCI mode enabled. We also found that a lot of modern hardware refuses to detect the drive. If you are using an older system, then you should have better luck booting Windows XP from a USB flash drive. Just be sure that your particular motherboard supports booting from USB in the first place it’s normally off by default in older system. Check the BIOS boot section and see if USB drives are supported. Unfortunately, the time period in which motherboards supported USB booting on older hardware is quite short, as anything before didn’t have the option, and anything after around the time Windows Vista and 7 took off, those boards started the transition over to UEFI, which XP does not support. A number of systems we have tested this with had very mixed results. Both an older Pentium D system with BIOS, and a i7-2600 with UEFI, couldn’t boot into XP. The USB media does work on a couple of laptops, but with other systems, it just boots up into a blank screen. If checking your motherboard settings for USB boot support and even legacy modes do not work, then you will have to resort to using a CD/DVD. You can read below for some more general advice as well. Common Problems No Bootable Device Detected This can be caused by a number of things. The most common is that your system is not setup to detect or boot from USB devices. You will need to go into your BIOS/EFI and check whether your USB drive is detected at all. If it is, make sure that it’s available from the boot menu. If it isn’t, then some security option may be enabled that prevents booting from USB devices. As each BIOS/EFI is different, we can not help with specific options, but check various security and boot menus to make sure that USB support is enabled. If everything appears correct, but still can’t be detected, try enabling USB legacy support, or a different USB port, such as a USB port instead of USB It’s also possible that the install media, or ISO image you have, does not have the boot information available. Try a different ISO image if at all possible. Windows Installer Starts But Can’t Detect Install Media If the installer starts and lets you pick installation options, but an error occurs that either says it can’t detect the DVD or it requests you to insert media with additional drivers, then you need to use a USB port. Windows XP, Vista and 7, do not have native support for USB ports. Attempting to install with your flash drive plugged into a USB port will result in the above error. Unplug your USB Flash Drive and insert it into a USB port, then begin the process again. You may still use a USB Flash drive, but not plugged into a USB port. If no USB ports are available such as with more modern systems, then you will either need to go into the BIOS/EFI and enable forced legacy mode or enable EHCI on the USB ports, or you will need to slipstream’ the USB drivers into your Windows Install Image. Flash Drive Isn’t Using All Available Space This was mentioned previously in the Windows 10 section, but if you are creating a USB boot drive for Windows 10 and your 64GB drive is only showing 32GB available, then you need to recreate your boot drive with Rufus. The Media Creation Tool MCT only supports drives up to 32GB, and anything larger will have a second partition made, which Windows can not detect normally but is still available if you plug it into a Linux machine for example. So download the ISO with MCT, then flash it with Rufus. Windows 10 Something Happened’ Generic and oh-so-helpful error. If you are using the Media Creation Tool to create the bootable USB flash drive, and it’s failing on the last step, try the alternative and recommended method of using the tool to download the ISO image and then use Rufus to create the boot media.
