Size: MAX=4145 or less seems to work for meĭO NOT specify the copy files option at the bottom.Ĥ. Launch RMPrepUSB and set the following options: Windows bootable), OR insert a bootable disk into the CD/DVD drive.Ģ. Mount an ISO image for Windows install (or BartPE / whatever as long as it's Play with the other settings if you like.)ġ. (Please note, it is CRUCIAL that you follow the file copy procedures this without deviation, otherwise the pen drive may not boot and you'll have to reformat it. If you literally want just a 1GB pen drive to do nothing but set up Windows XP, then follow this process: In a million years, dumping a stock ISO image onto a pen drive will never work. The entire point of using WinSetupFromUSB is that it knows what modifications need to be made to GRUB, to the ISO image, and to the drive mounting, for the setup to work. Within the setup menu (winsetup.lst) there are two options: first one does the mini setup, the second one mounts the ISO prior to booting up Windows for the GUI install. What you should then get when you boot from the pen drive, is a "Windows XP/2000/2003 Setup" menu option and it's configured like this in menu.lst:įind -set-root -ignore-cd /usbdrive.tag THEN use WinSetupFromUSB to actually put the setup onto the pen drive RMPrepUSB the drive and configure bootloader (or you can use Corsair Flash Drive Tool from .)ĥ. Use DriverPacks.Net to add in the mass storage, CPU, LAN and wireless drivers (I don't bother with the display drivers, they take up too much space)Ĥ. Use NLite to customize it and bundle in the hotfixes etcģ.
