How to install windows XP from a USB stick

And this method actually works!

1. Get an iso image, I used XP Home with SP3.
2. Get Rufus 1.3.1
3. Get a stick (1gb will do)
4. Set it like this:


Device and capacity will vary depending on what you use. Important here is the bottom bit:
- quick format
- create a bootable disk using ISO image (click the icon next to that and point to the ISO)

5. Now click start and be patient. The next bit can easily take 2 hours. The program does indicate progress
6. Stick in the laptop/netbook you're installing. Boot from USB (either set in the bios or hit ESC or F10 during boot)
7. Do remember to remove the stick when Windows starts rebooting.

Nonetheless, should you wish to proceed, you must switch off your system and eliminate the power connector from the wall. You can find more details on Neem contact op on the site allesmakkelijk.nl.
