Install XP From USB Drive Toolkit (Perfect for Asus EEE)

This is a COMPLETE toolkit for installing XP on a computer via a USB Drive. It is customisied for the Asus EEE 701 - Including Drivers and an 'Nlited' / stripped down copy of xp. I managed to get xp and Norton on to the EEE's 4gb HD with 2 Gigs to spare. It contains EVERYTHING you need, and is much simpler then the BARTPE process. It comes with EXTREMELY detailed instructions for the entire process with logically constructed folders for added clarity. It took me about 4 weeks of mind-boggling research to figure all this stuff out, as all the guides i found were lacking. I did not give much attention to spelling as I was up all night making this, and wanted to get it out there. Before Writing this guide I formated both my EEE and PC, so it follows the logic of an ACTUAL successful installation. I am 99% sure that i have not forgotten any software / instruction for this toolkit. Please read the instructions carefully before asking questions, as most blogs on this area are overly dense and repative. If you find this helpful, please comment. It took a lot of work to put this together so id appreciate if people were friendly and continued seeding. Enjoy. ________________ Contains: 1. Virtual Floppy Drive Emulator; for creating an ms-dos start up disk 2. HP Format Tool; used with the above to make the usb bootable 3. XPSP3, Nlite, Winrar, and PowerIso for mounting my or your customised xp 4. WinSetupFromUSB to put xp on the usb from the virtual D: 5. Instructions for installing xp from the usb 6. Post Installation Tweeks: zune theme, dotnetfix, and EEE 701 drivers 7. Norton 360 with keygen activation method Each stage is contained within a separate folder with detailed instructions.

It looks like the drivers component is purely a post-install piece - is that correct? Or are there some drivers specific to the 701 embedded?
I want to use this on a 900a, and assume that I can simply substitute all the pieces from Asus for my model.
Thanks for the work - looks pretty slick....

Hey, under section 2 it says:
"now under the subsection 'using dos system files located at' . . . . choose your 'Z Drive' "...
What Z drive? I don't have a Z drive and no mention had been made of one before this. Do you mean that I need to grab a MSDOS boot disk ISO and mount that as Z drive?

Ok, I have a windows 7, 64 bit computer here, the first step:
1.Boot, how do I make a z-disc?
I have tryed to put the 1.boo-folder to the desktop and tryed making the "vfd.exe" run via compability of xpSp2, but nothing happends when I dubbleclick the file.
How can I go on??!! Please help me with this one

Plz seed:)
What is the procedure if you are using a laptop to put xp on usb? My laptop has a DVD-rw drive so I'm guessing no need for virtual drive, I also have XP pro sp2 CD already.

@Padde84
It works okay for me, also running win7 64bit. Anyway, try running vfdwin.exe with the GUI. It's easier. What he means by creating a z-disc after you successfully created a virtual floppy drive, go to your "my Computer" Right click on your Z drive, format, tick create an ms.dos recovery something.
Still transfering Windows XP. Will comment if it will work.

I have big request please share your windows xp release with polish language settings. This one really works fine in my eee 701sd but I cannot change the language. Thanks anyway, that was a really good job.
