ilko_t Posted July 6, 2010 Author Share Posted July 6, 2010 Glad you liked it.how get this file copied to the harddrivetxtsetup.sif in the small ISO.Can't this setup.cmd not be run directly from the USB stick?The fake setup.exe which executes setup.cmd in system32 folder should be modified for this purpose. What's your idea, why from USB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apibiri Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 (edited) I have got my USB memory pen with the installing files, it seems it works fine.When I use it on my new laptop to install XP Pro on the second and third partition, the installing software cannot see the internal HDD at all.Acer Aspire One, 2GB RAM, 160GB HDD.HDD partitions:C 10GB: primary, SO well installed, XP homeD 25GB: Primary, SO not installedE 17GB: Primary, SO not installedF 9GB: LogicalG 87GB: LogicalBoot with multi-SO.Boot.ini with Timeout 5 secs and 3 partions. Boot works fine when installing USB is not plugged in (it shows the 3 SO and run the first one with XP home)When I start up with the installing USB (setting the BIOS with the USB as first booting device), selecting the first stage of WinSetupFromUSB installation, all works as it is supposed to do (like the installation from CD), until the point that the software should let the user choose the partition where to install the SO. The software does not detect the internal HDD. I get following messages:"Setup has recognized the following storage devices in your computer<none>"I press Enter, then F8 and I get as list of existing partitions only my USB memory device (2GB) labeled with unit U (!!!)I hope somebody can sort out this problem...

Valeron Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I encountered a problem when try to install XP to an VirtualBox based VM.I followed this guide to make my usb disk bootable in VirtualBox.http://agnipulse.com/2009/07/boot-your-usb-drive-in-virtualbox/I attached the virtual hdd to primary slave slot. Usb disk is primary master.The very beginning of setup report such information"The system encountered an I/O error accessing multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(9)partition(1).Setup cannot continue. Press any key to exit."What can I do to fix it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdob Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I encountered a problem when try to install XP to an VirtualBox based VM.I followed this guide to make my usb disk bootable in VirtualBox.This is not about bootable USB. This converts a external USB disk to a internal IDE disk, hence the rdisk(9).This dosn't match install from USB. Don't use this approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaclaz Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Thank you. But VirtualBox haven't usb-bootable bios, this is the best way to try usb-boot in it.NO.As cdob said, mapping something in a Virtual Machine has NOTHING to do with USB booting, it may give some hints about the general bootability of a device, but NOT "Usb-bootability".Compare with these:http://www.boot-land.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=8042http://www.boot-land.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=9688http://www.boot-land.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=8581jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaolinMilk Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 (edited) When I select boot first half of windows xp sp3 setup, nothing happens. It's just a black screen and it stays there forever. Do I have to wait longer?EDIT: Nevermind. I got it to work. Great program btw! Edited August 3, 2010 by ShaolinMilk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey1969 Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Guys, this looks like exactly what I have been looking for. We use XP, Win 7 64 bit and 32 bit here, and I don't want to lug around a bunch of CD's, but I don't see a way to install both versions of WIN 7, have I missed something here? Everything else is pretty self explanatory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything else is pretty self explanatory.Here are a few links to get you started:http://www.msfn.org/board/SOLVED-Install-Multiple-XP-USB-t114543.htmlhttp://www.msfn.org/board/topic/139654-install-windows-from-iso-after-booting-to-winpe-30-from-usb-hdd/http://translate.google.com/translate?prev=hp&hl=ru&js=y&u=http%3A%2F%2Fbbs.wuyou.com%2Fviewthread.php%3Ftid%3D148722%26extra%3Dpage%253D1&sl=zh-CN&tl=en&history_state0=http://www.boot-land.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=10126http://www.boot-land.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=10138OK... I have a read as much as I could and I have spend hrs trying to get this to work but no luck so its time to ask for help lol... I have a a working DVD structure created with RyanVM and Driverpacks. I used a 16G USB and formatted it with a single NTFS partition (using the HDD option gives me a grub error when adding files). Laptop boots, loads initial files, reboots to start windows, then just hangs... what am I doing wrong?Thanks in advance for your help...Can you elaborate a bit more on these:using the HDD option gives me a grub error when adding filesUsing what program when formatting? What options?Laptop boots, loads initial files, reboots to start windows, then just hangsDoes that mean that first part of Setup, the text mode/file copy stage works alright, but for the second part, the GUI mode it hangs at some point? When exactly? What do you see on the screen? What did you see right before that? Please be as detailed as possible in order to understand your issue.
