How do I install Windows XP on a new hard drive?

How do I install Windows XP from a USB pen drive?

  • Possible Duplicate: http://superuser.com/questions/63995/installing-windows-xp-through-pen-drive Is possible to install Windows XP from a USB http://i.stack.imgur.com/Ka9ee.jpg? I found many articles after searching Google, but they all talk about different approaches to do the task. Since I didn't install XP from a pen drive before, I don't know which of those approaches are right or not. If you've ever installed Windows XP from a USB drive, how did you do it? I'm looking for a technique that really worked for you, not something that you've read and haven't tried before.

  • Answer:

    While not a direct answer to your question, I used http://wiki.eeeuser.com/windowsxpusb article when I needed to load my Eee (no CD Drive) with XP from an USB drive. Some tools and techniques there are definitely not limited to just netbooks though. Hope it helps.
