First, we must make the USB flash disk is known as bootdisk. One thing that crucial is BIOS in the notebook / netbook / PC will be installed should support booting via flash disk. I suggest you check the BIOS on your computer first.
If you can, the following is a list of completeness you need.
1. A PC with a CD-ROM (for the process of preparation and file transfer)
2. CD Installer Windows XP or Vista
3. Applications support:
a. USB_PREP8
b. PeToUSB
c. Bootsect.exe
4. Flash disk with a capacity of at least 1GB
Here’s how to enter Windows installer in to the flash disk.
- Copy the PeToUSB.exe file in to the USB_prep8 folder .
- Run the file usb_prep8.cmd with the double click. The file is located in the folder USB_Prep8. Note: If your PC using Windows XP2, you need to unblock the file to be run. How?, right-click> Properties> Unblock
- Press Enter, and a window will appear.
- Leave all the settings in the default (unless you want to change the drive label) and press Start. This will format your flash disk, make sure no important files on the flash disk.
- After the process is completed, DO NOT close the window PeToUSB. Leave it open.
- Open the command prompt (caranye click Start> Run> cmd). At the command prompt panel, go to the folder where the file is saved bootsect.exe. Way, type “cd folder name”. For example, because bootsect.exe files in the folder bootsect located on the desktop, we type “cd desktop” and then “cd bootsect” (both without quotes).
- If bootsect.exe already met, type “bootsect.exe / nt52 X:” (without quotation marks). Note: X: show flash disk drive for you, so first find out the name of the drive. On our case, the name of L so that the drive is the command to “bootsect.exe / nt52 L:”
- If this step is done correctly, a message will appear “Bootcode was successfully updated on all Targeted volumes.” Close the window and command window PeToUSB. note: do not close the window USB_Prep8. USB_Prep8 window should remain open.
- When you close the window PeToUSB, USB_Prep8 in the window will automatically appear as menu options under the picture. If not, try and press Enter.
- At this stage, you actually only do settings for Prep8, just do is to choose the menu based on the number. You must change are:
a. Menu 1: select the drive where Windows XP (or your CD-ROM). I click 1, will be out later Explorer to select the drive. Select the name of the drive (on the PC is C).
b. Menu 2: Virtual TempDrive choose, or a virtual drive in your PC hard drive as a place to store data (before moved to the flash disk). Select the drive that is not in your PC, eg drive T.
c. Menu 3: to select your flash disk drive. Press 3 and select the flash disk drive that you want to enter Windows.
d. Menu 4: this menu is to run the next process. If you have run the 1 to 3, you immediately run this menu 4.
- Later the pop-up window that will immediately delete the temporary drive. Press Yes.
- After that, the file transfer process is running the Windows installer. There are two processes going on in here. First the transfer files from a CD-ROM to hard disk, and the second from the disk to the flash disk. The length depends on the speed CD-ROM or flash disknya, and in our case about 30 minutes.
- After that, we live Plug flash disk to the PC we will install, and set the booting priority to the flash disk. When switched on, there are two options available. Select option number 1 (TXT Mode Setup Windows XP).
After that, the installation process is running as normal, including the process re-booting. No you need to do here, just wait until the installation process is complete. To note is the flash disk can not be revoked until the process is complete (already signed in Windows).
Well, now the Windows installation can be done even though you do not have a CD-ROM.
