Installation from USB

[FoxTheCave]

Hey, I know that I can install a Linux .iso from a USB stick if i've used unetbootin, but if I use the same program on my USB stick can I install an XP .iso?

Thanks for the help!

Unfortunately not. It is much less straightforward to boot Windows from USB.

ubuntu can, but XP can't

Unfortunately not. It is much less straightforward to boot Windows from USB.I know that linux can, and of course Ubuntu which is based on Debian Linux, but not with XP. I think that it is possile to burn it onto a CD though.:popcorn:

Running XP from flash drive is a bit more complex than Ubuntu.
This page explains how:

Once installed it runs quite slow.

If you just want to install xp from flash drive there are a lot of sites that explain how to put the install disk on flash drive, just Google.

Thanks!

I should clarify I guess; I don't want to run XP from the flash drive, I want to install it from the flash drive. I'm asking because my CD drive is broken.

Do you have access to a windows computer?
