    Creating Bootable USB for Windows XP

    Hi

    I'm running Ubuntu atm
    and i have 2 different Windows XP iso files

    both times i tried to make it bootable by USB-Creator i get the msg
    "this is not a desktop install cd and thus cannot be used by this application"
    and as i understand it UNetbootin is only to make Linux distros bootable...

    so is there another software that can make a Bootable USB with WindowsXP iso?

    thx

    Have a look on the MSFN forums where I think this has been discussed. Because of the way XP is built, it's nothing like as easy as creating one for linux distros.
