Skip a cd-rom detection during windows set up

[anggareni]

I just bought Axioo PICO DJM bundling with Original Windows XP Home OEM SP2 CD installer and i just have turn its original windows xp home oem sp2 cd installer onto usb. It works, start from the windows setup configuration hardware till copying setup file to harddisk done well, but unfortunetly when arrive at this step *starting set up windows* it couldn't continue. It said

Windows XP Home Edition Setup

=====================

Setup cannot find a CD-ROM drive.

Make sure your CD-ROM drive is on and properly connected

to your computer. If it is SCSI CD-ROM drive, make sure your

SCSI devices are properly terminated. See your computer or

SCSI adapter documentation for more information

Setup cannot continue. To quit setup, press F3

But when i used black xp home it could continue the set up. Unfortunately when it asked the product key, and i used the original xp home product key... it was invalid key... I confused

Please help me fix this... spesially turn my original xp home to usb. Don't say i have to buy a cd-rom drive cause i don't have much money to buy it.

Thanks a lot

we have an entire forum dedicated to Install from USB. I've moved your topic there.

What did you use to prepare the USB disk?

The part it asks you for a CD- is it during Text mode or GUI mode, when exactly?
