Then you have some other problem.

When exactly and what error code?

The easiest thing would be to start from a scratch. Reformat the USB disk and prepare it again. Replace the files and lines mentioned. Report what errors do you see and when exactly.
I am thinking that BIOS sees the USB disk as a superfloppy/zip disk, hence the problems. But let's first rule out any interventions.

What hardware are you installing to? Motherboard or laptop model? Using what USB disk?

I've gotten Error 11 on second time with a different hdd plugged in. The first time, I booted it up to test the program, I seen XP install blue screen, so I was like ok, it works, I shutdown, removed two hdds and plugged in the one hdd I wanted XP on, this is when Error 11 took place.

After editing everything then I got Error 15 even just with the hdd I wanted xp on, plugged in.

(A). I started a fresh day restarting from scratch, unplugged everything except the hdd I installed too and the USB card reader too SDHC Class 6 flash card.

2006 mobo.

With the procedure (A), I've managed to get XP installed on too my hdd.

Suppose the program will have to be redone for every new install of xp.

Thanks, ilko_t for the help .

Glad you got it sorted.

By the way, you must have missed an important step:

If you already are experiencing the "I/O error", you may recreate the USB disk, or edit TXTSETUP.SIF in all present small ISO files in WINSETUP folder using UltraISO or a similar program and change all occurrences in SetupData section from rdisk(X) to rdisk(1) where X will vary. Next change the above mentioned lines in winsetup.lst to avoid further issues of this sort.

You either did not recreate the USB disk and change the lines and winsetup.lst, or did not :

and change the lines and winsetup.lst

Nope. If you prepare the USB disk and immediately change the lines in winsetup.lst then it's all good.
If you already used the USB disk on computers with more than 2 internal disks, do the above mentioned steps- TXTSETUP.SIF + WINSETUP.LST, or recreate the USB disk and immediately change the lines in winsetup.lst only.

Working on new version with a lot of fixes and changes, so meanwhile, apologies for any inconvenience caused by this bug.

What worries you?
XP x64 is supported. Download latest version 1.0 beta7, read the notes in the first post next to the download line, select your sources, XP x64 and 7 in one go, press GO. Do the changes mentioned in winsetup.lst so you don't have further issues after the first install. That's it.

I would start by reading the first post.

- multiple Windows XP/2kX sources in the same partition (up to 10 99 with vers. 1.0). ...

...
- Vista/Windows 7/Server 2008 setup to different primary partitions if it's hard disk type (seen by Windows as FIXED, not REMOVABLE). If USB stick- Windows will not see any other partitions, but the first one, so you are restricted to it anyway. Multiple Vista sources in the SAME partition are NOT supported. Place your second Vista/7/Server 2008 setup in another partition. It can be placed in any primary partition. If looking for several Vista/Server 2008/7 sources in the same partition have a look here or if just for 7 or Vista here. The first link would require you manually to put everything to the USB disk, if using the second you can point the program to the prepared AOI source.

Haven't heard about 1.ISO, can you give some clues?

WinSetupFromUSB has an option- Test in QEMU. What happens if you select and use it?

If it works in QEMU then it should work on real hardware. I have no clue how and why you test in VMWare.

You are not supposed to edit that line in txtsetup.sif, it's auto edited by the boot grub4dos script, and modifying it would lead to results like the ones you got.

Actually, what's the point of your experiments? Are you just experimenting, or need to perform an installation on real hardware?

I want to install on my pc end i cant, nothing works! that's why i start experimenting.

[ilko_t]

Start from scratch. Reformat the USB disk. Use the latest beta7. Do the changes mentioned in the first post next to the download link.
Try on real hardware. Reports any errors with details.

Guys I managed to get very strange problem trying to boot Windows XP installation or the alternative boot manager PLoP (first option from menu). I didn't had problems with Hiren's or Windows 7. I saw like only 2-3 people who have it which is strange...
The error message is :

ls\usbdrive.tag Error 15 file not found, press any key to continue

There isnt't such file usbdrive.tag in the root directory of the USB HDD. So I didn't find such even in WinSetup installation directory nor in Grub4DOS files. The way I fixed the error was changing the menu.lst file ( I REMOVE THE "find --set-root --ignore-cd /usbdrive.tag" LINE)

FROM

title Windows XP/2000/2003 Setup
map --unmap=0:0xff
map --unhook
savedefault
find --set-root --ignore-cd /usbdrive.tag
configfile /winsetup.lst

Something/somebody must have deleted/erased/eaten it
Find who/what that was and tell it not to touch innocent empty tag files ever again!

Put the line back. Create an empty file in root of the USB disk and name it usbdrive.tag. Do the same for Program Directory\files\grub4dos\. Or better off, re-download the program, there could be other files missing/deleted/eaten by the same evil creature.
The file would not have been used if there was no need of it.

Added: by the way- always use recent 7-zip version to extract the program. Some other programs, "compatible" with 7z do not handle 7z archives properly, in particular ignoring empty files, which most likely is your case.

Hello

I speak spanish but try present my problem

Win Setup from USB is very good software, but i have a problem with Windows XP installed from this method

When attach External USB becomes Blue Screen Hardware error, but ocasionally (Xp installed whit method WinSetup From USB stable version)

and i need understand where is the problem

1. How force hardware WinSetupFrom USB an external usb as permanent hard disk

Cannot understand what you mean, can you try expanding on it?

Jhorton, on 22 March 2012 - 08:04 AM, said:

2. Beta version is better

:
The beta is online since december 2010 with very little problems reported by the users, so I would call it "stable".
A number of issues has been resolved in it that affected the orignal "stable" version.
Try it and report if you still have the same problems.

Ok

In the program options of WinSetupFromUSB I'm forcing the external disk hardware as permanent.

I am using Windows XP SP2 but updated with Winup2.9

The problem is that after installing Windows, it has problems with USB, blue screen appears IRQ_LESS_EQUAL ... ... when you plug a USB but not every time

Tehe same Windows has no errors if I install normally from CD/DVD

[ilko_t]

1) Use latest beta version in first post, or the latest development one from here:
http://code.google.c.../downloads/list

2) Check if rdummy service is running and disable/delete it if it is.

[tomasz86]

I just want to confirm that WinSetupFromUSB works with Windows 8 Consumer Preview too. It's detected as Vista but no problems occur during the installation process
