| Lilwolf:
Anyone know how to make an external hard disk bootable? I search through google, and didnt' find much... I have a notebook I want to use in a cab, but the OS is hosed, and the DVD rom drive is bad... but it can boot from a external drive (I think... bios says boot from removable hard disk). Anyway, I can copy xp on it... but how, from xp or win7, can I format a disk with system (format /s doesn't work anymore does it??) |

The other day I found "Windows XP SP3 Pro. Corp. USB INSTALLABLE! Semi-Unattended" on a torrent site. Look it up. (Can't give you more than that on here) |

I met an old lady on the bus the other day and she had met some young people who asked her the same question. Her recommendation was to go to this link and use the Nlite utility: http://forums.vr-zone.com/notebooks-netbooks/210722-how-use-nlite-thumbdrive-install-winxp.html She added to them "Dears...you should have your own legit copy of Windows XP though..." |

http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ Unetbootin will take any ISO file and make it into a bootable usb stick/drive. I used it for my cab and laptop with no dvd drive. |

Wow. Wish i'd know about that Unetbootin utility about 4 days ago! Very cool. I'm throwing that in the toolkit. |
