If you break your Windows installation, do you have a backup disk with another copy installed, ready to boot? Well, you can have such a safety net if you own a 256MiB flash drive. Tom's Hardware explain how it's done.[THG]All that's needed is a bootable USB Flash drive with at least 256 MB of storage capacity and a Windows Setup CD. Using the program Bart PE Builder (Freeware), you can install Windows XP on the flash drive, along with other software as needed (and as available space permits).
PHP Code:$s = new signature();
$s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();
Has anyone tried this? I tried but keep getting an error, I think it has something to do with the boot.ini file. There is no instructions on THG for the boot.ini file, just to copy it from the %systemroot% and that would tell XP to load from the HDD and not USB. I'm lost.
Have you made the files "visible" and not hidden system files? If so you should be able to see them when you navigate to the USB drive
I can see them just fine, it just I don't think its configured properly
Barts PE builder is used on the ultimate boot cd for win. Its a great tool
