Whenever I try to either just make a bootable disk from withing windows 7 or uses HP usb disk utility I always gets this error. How am I supposed to make it real bootable with xp files? (Doing it with Win7 or Vista have never been an issue)

Mech0z, sorry I do not understand what you are trying to do. If you are running nLite, making an XP ISOs under Vista or W7 may well not work. I do not know what HP USB Utility is, so can't comment. If you are using nLite, try using the CD writer in the Create Bootable ISO task and, please attach (not paste) your Last Session.ini. Make sure to always start with a fresh copy of your CD files/folders, do all your work in one nLite session and integrate only one SP. Please report when you have a solution, so others can benefit. Enjoy, John.

Mech0z, I have not tried to install from a USB stick, but I know it is much more than just copying the files to a stick and booting it. Please see this forum here for details. It includes information on using nLite with the process. Enjoy, John.
