Hi

Just wondering, if it is possible to place an nLited Windows XP (with SP3), onto a flash card (4Gb).
Instead of the usual CD.
This card, would then be used to install windows XP, on another computer's hard drive.
(Note: I am not talking about, a boot flash disk)
I have found some old threads, roughly about this topic, but they were long and very complicated.
It would be great to know, if someone has successfully done this, and even better if they had some simple instructions.

Regards
John

Which is an OLD "rip-off" of our own "XP install from USB" method and batches, without citing the source, of course whistling.gif :

And of course, as specified by the OP, he wants to use a flash card, NOT a flashdisk.

@John444
No defined, one-size-fits-all method specific for flash card, however the above referenced method may work, possibly needing some trivial mods.

You do have PC's capable of booting from flash card?
Or are you meaning to use an adapter of some kind?

Try first the "simplified" GUI app here:

Then, if it does not work, or it does not as you wish, try the "full featured" command line one here:

Read ANYWAY the FAQ's, before anything:

expecially #2 for nlite users.
