Boot Windows Xp from USB(Pen Drive)

WinToFlash is a software that makes your USB pen drive into an installation option.You can install any Windows version via USB pen drive by using this simple software.It is the easiest software that I have found on the internet.

This is a good tool to use to install windows were a laptop/netbook or computer is without a CD/DVD drive

You will need:

A working computer with a CD/DVD drive.
4 gig bootable pen/flash drive.
 Full Windows install disk..

On computer without CD/DVD drive (e.g. Aspire One)

you must change the first boot order to USB Flash drive from BIOS. How to do this?

Change Boot order from BIOS:

Step 1:
Plug a Flash drive into a USB port on your computer/laptop

Step 2:
Turn on your laptop then hit F2 rapidly (or Del for some other machine)
then go to Boot tab > change boot order > then hit F10 key to Save and Exit

Now you can boot from USB Flash drive, first select

1st, text mode setup (Boot from flash again after finished)

then... on the first restart, select

2nd, GUI mode setup, continue setup + 1st start of Windows

Note: Using a USB pen drive to install windows will take more time than using the original install disk.
