Here is the "homepage" of the program: http://www.msfn.org/board/How-to-ins...43#entry737643
Currently the latest version is USB_Multiboot8, but I'm using USB_Multiboot 5 cos it does the same thing, and I've already gone through the files so I know what's going on
.I've removed unnecessary files that do not help in the "XP installation on a thumbdrive" method. You can download this ZIP file from here: http://www.mediafire.com/?klxjidd9ed4
Alternatively, you can visit the link above and download from there if you don't trust me
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Here are the files you can find inside the ZIP folder:
If you've nLited your XP, you have to replace the winnit.sif file in the w_sif folder if you want to keep your nLite settings. Do not change the [Data] and [Unattended] sections!
To make everything simpler (and save on my explanation), I've included my winnit.sif file. It should work fine
. CD-Key not included!Before you begin, extract your XP install files to a folder. I recommend using C:\XP_SRC or something similarly named. Don't put any spaces in the folder name, and try to use as short a path as possible.
When that's done, run USB_Multiboot5.cmd.
Introduction screen - just press any key to continue.
By now, if you haven't plugged in your thumbdrive, plug it in! Press H to use the HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool. That way, you can format your thumbdrive in NTFS and reduce the time taken for the installation.
Select your thumbdrive in the first drop-down box, choose NTFS as your file system, and optionally label your thumbdrive. Once done, click Start. A scary warning pops up about how ALL DATA WILL BE LOST, just click OK
. A short summary screen appears once the format is done, click OK, and then click Close to go back to the command window.
Now you're presented with a text menu where you can change some options.
Leave Option 0 as [USB-stick] since we're installing from a thumbdrive.
Enter 1, and select the folder where your XP install files are stored.
Next, enter 3 and select the drive letter of your thumbdrive.
Check that your final screen looks something like this (your Source Path and USB-Drive Target may vary):
If everything's done, enter 4 to start the process!
I'll try it sometime when I free.. heh btw what's shud be the minimum size for e thumbdrive?
Linear Mode
