Windows XP Pro SP2 USB Edition

~~~~README~~~~ Hello! This is an image of a DELL OEM Windows XP Professional SP2 disk, but with modded USB drivers so it can be installed to USB flash drives, and remove languages. Besides that, I have not done anything to change it. You need to have your own XP Pro SP2 key at the GUI setup. But, if you have a DELL PC, you don't have to enter a key, lucky you. After searching for hours trying to find a premade USB XP Pro, I did not find anything, so, I found my old SP2 XP Pro DELL disk, and edited files so it could do this, tested it on a 4GB SanDisk Cruzer. Tested Computers: SanDisk Cruzer 4GB ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |Gateway NV5378u - Yes| |Dell Inspiron 600m - Yes| |Dell XPS m140 - Yes| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Installation Instructions: 1.) Download this torrent 2.) Plug in your USB flash drive and format it with the HP Format tool in NTFS format (Extras folder) 3.) Burn the sp2_pro_rtm_usb.iso with ImgBurn (in the Extras folder) 4.) Go to a pc (Take out the normal hard drive if possible, this may screw up your MBR bootloader) 5.) Unplug all USB devices except for your USB Keyboard and Mouse (if you have one) and the drive without a hub 6.) Select your flash drive and tell it you want it to leave file system intact (if you get the thing saying you can’t install it, make sure you format the flash drive appropriately and clear any MBR) 7.) Let the flash drive boot up and finish the install 8.) If it asks if you want to install USB drivers, click YES every time. 9.) When install completes, you can plug in all your hard drives and such back in to the PC ~~~~Troubleshooting~~~~ Alright, I tried to make this as simple as possible. 1.) If you get the cant install thing in the text mode setup, format the USB drive again in the HP format tool and try again. If it still fails, try a different USB flash drive, eSATA, or an External USB hard drive. 2.) If you did not click yes on a driver install, you fucked up. You need to reinstall and click YES to EVERYTHING. 3.) If you get stop error 0x000007B this normally indicates a boot failure. Restart the PC and press F8 to select safe mode and normally it will boot up. I had to install video drivers and network drivers n the Gateway NV53 to get rid of this. 4.) If you can't even boot from the USB flash drive, in your BIOS (Del, F2, F10, F12, etc...) and check your boot devices. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Hopefully, I provided everything you need to know to get a portable XP!

Why is this a .exe file?
Where's the .iso file and Extras folder you mention?
I'm not going to download and run a .exe file from someone with 2 torrents.

the-linux-group (2011-04-10)

Because it was used to save space. It is a archive that extracts the ISO file! DUH!

ned316 (2011-04-22)

Ok seriously ive formatted my USB. Cant mount the ISO on to the USB and boot it. Please help me

the-linux-group (2011-04-23)

Did you format with the HP USB format tool?

ned316 (2011-04-23)

Yes i did. How do i mount it properly onto the USB. And do i need to change anything in my BIOS...coz it says BOOT from CD. I have a Dell also :D

the-linux-group (2011-04-26)

You need to bun the image (.iso) to a DVD or CD with a program I included (well I think I did) Imgburn. Then you should be good to go.

son of a bitch i had wrote out a long ass message praising you for your work and then my login timed out and i thought i had copied it first but obviously it was the link to the page i had copied lol.
But anyway it works perfectly just follow the instruction that the poster took the time to write out and your good to go.
Great work saved me the headache of making myself a new one.

the-linux-group (2011-05-29)

to Bad_Case,
Thank you for liking my torrent. When I typed the description up, I had to read through it and put myself in those positions to get the best USB version of Windows. I had to read over it a few times, but, I got it perfect!

sasliks (2011-06-03)

KillFrenZ Did you format jour Usb drive with HP USB format tool ?

KillFrenZ (2011-06-03)

Yes i did. It reads the boot dir and boots from the flash. But only in safemode :/

KillFrenZ (2011-06-03)

""3.) If you get stop error 0x000007B this normally indicates a boot failure. Restart the PC and press F8 to select safe mode and normally it will boot up. I had to install video drivers and network drivers n the Gateway NV53 to get rid of this.""
My problem is I cant install the Network drivers in Safemode. Is there anny way i can bypass that?

KillFrenZ (2011-06-03)

Yes i did. Think the only problem is the Network drivers i cant install in Safemode. Any way to do that?

sasliks (2011-06-03)

KillFrenZ: Then how old are your PC?
if you dont have HI SPEED USB PORT mybee thets the problem! Ijust finish install it and it works but wery slow!

KillFrenZ (2011-06-03)

Its about 4 years old i think. But it has USB2 for sure. Using a kingston DataTraveler 4gig.

sasliks (2011-06-04)

Hmm my Laptop is much older but it works for me! i use Platinium 8gb! sorry but then i can not help you! try to contact with this torrent uploder!

KillFrenZ (2011-06-04)

I want to, because he writes in his 'readme' about this error. Problem is i cant install the Network drivers in safe mode... or i dont know how.

sasliks (2011-06-04)

With network drivers i have problems too! when i install them my windows dont start up! it show it iz lodig vindows xp and nothung more!

the-linux-group (2011-09-23)

Alright, the network problem error is caused by a driver that screws up the USB driver, how to fix it, I have no idea at this point.

the-linux-group (2011-09-23)

1 more thing, if the HP format tool doesn't work, go Google it and download it again.
