for my sony vaio, ok work
boot from usb , delete partition c : ,quick format and the setup start to copy files
after restart i got this message :
windows could not start because the following files are missing or corrupt :
<Winroot>\system32\hall.dll.

i cant find that file nowhere .
can anyone tell me how to proceed to continue install from usb ?

Thanks

Do NOT unplug the USB stick until after the first normal start in windows has finished.

Make sure if you install windows in different folder (i.e. windows123) or partition other than first disk/first partition, you amend BOOT.INI on stick accordingly.
For example if you installing in folder WINDOWS123 change this line in boot.ini from:
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS
to
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS123

If it's on partition 3 make it like this:
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(3)\WINDOWS

If it's on second hard disk, partition 4 should look like this:
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(2)partition(4)\WINDOWS

Problem fixed?
Please have a look at Help_USB_MultiBoot5.txt, it's all explained in there.

i was not unplug nothing , and the boot .ini is from multiboot folder i choose multi_boot.ini
my partition is the first c: and i dont modigy nothing in boot.ini maked by the USB_MultiBoot5.cmd
so i cant understand

Are you changing windows folder name?
Do you have any other USB mass storage devices plugged in during install?

edit:
After first phase- Text mode setup, do you choose this entry to continue Setup?

no, i`m lame
i`m tired, and now i see the second option on boot from usb : gui mode and continue instalation
sorry for this topic u can delete it

You should NOT Delete the Active Partition having DriveLetter C:
Just Select the partition C: as the partition on which you are going to Install Windows XP,
and then Select Quick Format with NTFS FileSystem.
There is no need at all to Delete Partitions.

If you Delete and Create New partitions, you have to Finish with F3 and Boot from USB-stick again and
run 1. TXT Mode Setup again so that DriveLetters get their correct value, just as for a new harddisk

ok thank u , another question : it is there any way to make syslinux and some live linux into the usb when
i format in NTFS ? coz the cmd say ntfs not supported for linux
and in grub can i add more dossapps as i see no ? and just edit the comand line to start them

Syslinux Menu is not available in NTFS, only possible for FAT or FAT32.
FAT32 is useless for Install of XP from USB, too slow.
Puppy Linux can be used via GRUB4DOS Menu,
you only have to modify the file ntfs_menu_lst.txt in MULTI_CONTENT folder.
Remove the # in Front of the Puppy Linux entry.
In GRUB4DOS you can add for NTFS more different DOS Floppy Images,
but the dosapps must be either build in the Floppy Image, or launched from a FAT partition on Harddisk.
Because Direct Booting with MS-DOS is not available with NTFS Format.
