do you remember the name of the program?



Just do a search on Google for "Windows XP USB Stick Edition"

I was looking around at various options for putting xp on a usb stick and
came across the following dated Apr 6, 2007:
"Editor's Review of HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool
A flash drive is terrific for use as an emergency boot device. Use this
tool
to format the drive. (Careful -- everything on the flash drive will be
deleted.)

Then copy three system boot files from the root of your hard drive
(usually
c:\) -- boot.ini, ntldr, and ntdetect -- to the flash drive. Then set your
BIOS to allow booting from the flash drive.

--Steve Bass"

Has anybody tried this? What's it boot to? DOS? Can you install xp on a
stick?

Thanks for any input.




Havent tried it yet myself but i downloaded off of a bittorrent site a
program
and batchfile that claims to be able to make a small XP install on any
sized
stick 256mb or above.
