Despite the fact that in April this year support for Windows XP will be completely discontinued, to this day it continues to be one of the most popular computer OS. But recently it has rarely been put on powerful working machines, preferring to use it in netbooks.
But here there is one small problem: installing XP is theoretically possible only from a CD-ROM, for which these devices do not have drives. What to do? After all, installing Linux is most often pointless, since the new varieties of popular distributions simply will not "pull" the weak "hardware"!A flash drive is our choice!

To install Windows XP from a USB flash drive, you must set the appropriate item in the BIOS settings. How to do this, you again have to look in the instructions for your device.
After starting, the Grub4Dos bootloader window will appear in front of you. It will have one item - “Windows 2000 / XP / 2003 Setup”. Accordingly, if you created a multi-boot flash drive, then there will be more of them. Press "Enter", go to the next menu.
To reinstall Windows XP from the USB flash drive, select the "First part of Windows XP Professional SP3 setup from partion 0" item. After that, the same installation process will go that would start during installation from an optical CD.And if you need additional programs?

By the way, why did we recommend the Multiple mode? The fact is that in this case, a USB flash drive (bootable USB flash drive) Windows XP will not only run the OS in live mode, but also save the necessary files to the media.
We click on the “Next-Step” button, we agree with all warnings that in case of an error your data will be irretrievably lost. Click "OK" and wait. If your machine is not too powerful, then this can take a relatively long time.
Copy installation files
To do this, in the main dialog box of the program, select the item at the very end of which there is a phrase "BartPE". Next, click on the button with the ellipsis, point the program to the directory in which the disk image is stored.«GO» . «Show Log». , , . Windows XP. BIOS. , .

A window opens with a list of installed programs, in the upper right corner of which there is a search field. Drive “CMD” into it, after which the search result will open. We click on the desired program with the right mouse button. A list of possible actions will appear at the bottom of the window (there are no context menus here!) As you understand, you need to select "Run as administrator".Then in the opened console we print the line (or you can just copy it) “DISKPART”. This command launches a special software shell that allows you to manage disks (including removable ones).

In it, you need to check the box on the “True image Home” settings item. Click “Next” again, we get into the window with a choice of removable media. Choose your own, and then again the item "Next". After that, another window will come out, in which the Proceed button will finally be. After some time (depending on the characteristics of your computer), a message appears indicating that the creation of a bootable flash drive is complete.
Second way
This time you should have an Acronis True Image image. To write it to the media, we use the WinSetupFromUSB program, which we already described at the very beginning of the article. The process is practically no different from what we have already considered.
First, run the utility as administrator. In the first window, we also select our flash drive, but then we go along a different path.«RMPrepUSB». , - . («BOOT OPTIONS») «NTLDR», «NTFS». «Boot as HDD» «Use 64hd». , «Prepare Drive».
