Error installing Windows XP from a usb stick

[quota]

Here is the challenge of the day: I have a computer with an HD and a USB key (no CD or floppy), and you must format and reinstall Windows XP!

So there I go!

Here's what does not:

- Format the USB key boot disk Windows 98 with HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool -> once in DOS, can not run the xp install "this program does not run under Win98"

- Try to directly boot on the Windows XP installation by copying the cd to the root of the key -> "system disk error, insert disc"

It is not clear as manip, others are broken teeth

Personally for you I would play lazy and I invest in a USB CD

It also depends a lot of your USB drive, some are not bootable it seems to me

Otherwise there is plenty of stuff on the net

If it is bootable, and I boot the stuff I put it, without it I could install XP.

If I see although it is not clear, not many people talk about on the net and found a lot of tutorials rather useless.

Yet it should be simple and it would be if XP could format a usb stick with the option "create a disk boot MS-DOS"

When we see how even boot from a CD is useless (emulation of a floppy disk, and then need to mount the driver CD on which the BIOS has yet to read/boot - to be able to read beyond 1.44/2.88 MB). Short, nothing natural in this kind of boots
