You can't readily run XP from removable media. The LiveCD concept
doesn't really exist under Windows. You can create a bootable CD or
DVD using a tool such as BartPE (Google it) but the resultant
environment is very limited & I've never found it of much use.




WindowsXP can be ran from a USB drive and so can Windows Vista, I have both loaded and running on two USB drives which I keep in my toolkit. I will find the Article I wrote on it specifying the
procedure on how to do it...* It'll be tonight before I can get to it.* I found having WindowsXP on a USB to be handy.

How to create a Live USB Windows XP
 

That would be great, I'm also interested in doing something similar (but for a different purpose)

How to create a Live USB Windows XP
 

How about this:
I find an external CD Drive, connect it through USB and install the system to the SD card?
Can someone tell me how to create a bootable USB Stick from the WinXP ISO so I can use it instead of a CD Drive?


Thanks!

You can't readily run XP from removable media. The LiveCD concept

DVD using a tool such as BartPE (Google it) but the resultant

environment is very limited & I've never found it of much use.



Just set aside a little bit of your HD and dual-boot. It's *vastly*

easier. I suggest using the TinyXP "distro" which you can find on

various Bittorrent indices - just be very careful to scan it

thoroughly for malware. Install the "bare" version for smallest size,

add IE and update it completely using WindowsUpdate, but avoid all the

optional bits. Remove Outlook Express, Windows Media Player & don't

let WindowsUpdate install .NET which is a space hog.

How to create a Live USB Windows XP
 

It's a major pain in the ass.Â* I did it on a Thinkpad X31 this past weekend in order to install XP (it doesn't have an optical drive).Â* I spent 2 hours fighting with it and never got it working, attached my USB DVD burner and had XP installed in under an hour.Â* I'd just use an optical.Â* But if you're dead-set on using a flash drive, just google around, there are guides ;)

News to me! Mind, I don't own a USB drive big enough, but they're
affordable enough these days. I'd have though the driver issues
insurmountable. Please do tell!
