Try making a bartspe and then use pe2usb. Then use those files as source. "The era of big government is over," said Clinton 1996

You've been asking a LOT of questions about a LOT of different OS's lately. Do you have some sort of plan or are clueless about what to try? XP won't install from a USB flash drive without jumping thru some hoops. And you'll still need a CD/DVD drive to make the USB trick work, so why wouldn't you just install directly from the disc? http://www.techtipsgeek.com/install...

Or may be you are interested in booting Live XP and then from there call winnt32.exe from \i386 directory. by live XP i mean XP PE mode.... Subhash Chandra.

no i run a small computer shop and i have some crazy things coming in and i have lots of laptops that have no cd drive and it really makes it hard when people need to reinstall there os

Try #1. And from the bart pe screen call winnt32.exe .. Subhash Chandra.

ok i just figured it out. you have to use this command winnt32.exe /unattend:[full path to winnt.sif file]
