Install Windows XP From USB Flash Drive Part-II
I previously wrote an article Install Windows XP from USB Flash/Pen Drive part-I.
This process allows you make a USB flash disk/drive bootable and
exactly the same as the XP installation CD. To make the whole process
you should have a PC/Computer/Laptop with CD/DVD Rom. Once you make
your USB drive ready to boot windows XP setup from it then you can
start Installing Windows XP from that USB Disk/drive in any computer.

install XP in your computer step by step. At first you have to get a
USB flash drive/disk(at least 1 GB). Now download the archive

prompts for the choice. Then it will prompt “Please give Target
USB-Drive Letter e.g type U”.
Now put your USB drive letter and press “Enter”. Here my USB drive label is “I” so I put “I”.
