help installing xp from a flashdrive

[johnspack]

Darn, the only thing I'm basically doing different then, is doing it on an athlon system. Were any of your systems athlon based by any chance? Seems so weird, cause it just works so well on my systems, it's actually faster to install from than cd or dvd, I love it......

how about this....

install VMwarefusion on my main rig.

install xplite build in vmware.

ghost/clone it to the usb drive.

ghost/clone it to the minipc

might work if xplite is small enough.

i dont have anything larger than a 2gb flash drive atm.

Does this PC have another available SATA port? You could just hook up a SATA DVD with the case sitting open, as a temporary measure.

nope. the drive slides into a single slot. no other ports. not even ide. there is NO ide or floppy connector on the mobo. the whole thing is a total PITA BUT it does have a C2D mobile 2.4ghz chip in it that ROCKS in such a small machine.... along with 2gb of ram. its a pretty sick little box but it was never intended on being repaired i guess.

So it's essentially a lappy sans screen.

I don't know

Here this guy installs it on an eee pc701, no sound and in Russian(I believe),but you can watch his step by step...pretty interesting. Notice the two usb drives and what he does at the end or near the end.

Good Luck, Young Skywalker...
