Prerequisites

Before you start creating a bootable USB flash drive to install Windows (XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10), you need to make sure that:

  • The USB drive is empty and properly formatted
  • The USB drive is bootable
  • Your BIOS/UEFI is properly configured to boot from the USB flash drive first
  • You have the ISO image of Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8 or 8.1. If you have the original Windows installation disc, you can use that instead of the ISO image.
  • Software needed to write the ISO image to the USB drive or alternatives, such as Easy USB Creator 2.0 by NeoSmart or the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool by Microsoft.

USB Drive

The USB drive you want to make bootable should have at least 4 GB in available size.

BIOS/UEFI configuration

To make sure that your BIOS/UEFI is configured to boot from a USB drive, follow our Boot from USB drive guide. You need to make sure that:

If a Boot Device menu doesn’t appear on your screen where the USB drive is plugged-in, check the BIOS/UEFI settings. A Boot Device menu can look like this, depending on your computer model and Windows version:

If you are using a new computer with UEFI/EFI, make sure that the Boot Legacy option is enabled:

If you’re using a computer with Fast Boot option, make sure that Fast Boot is disabled.

If your BIOS menu doesn’t list a USB item in the BIOS settings, it may mean that it can’t boot from a USB drive. You can try with the USB drive plugged-in and then boot into BIOS directly.

If the item doesn’t appear, you need to use the original Windows installation CD or DVD to install Windows or access the repair tools.

If you need to use the repair tools of an original Windows installation CD/DVD, you can also use Easy Recovery Essentials and run Automated Repair to automatically find and fix boot errors.

ISO image

If you don’t have the ISO image to create the bootable USB drive, you can download an official image from Microsoft’s website.

You need to have the product (or license) key.

Create a Windows XP bootable USB

You can create a bootable USB drive with Windows XP by following these instructions.

Using Easy USB Creator 2.0

Easy USB Creator can quickly convert the ISO images into bootable USB drives, with just a single click:

To burn Windows XP to a USB drive using Easy USB Creator 2.0, simply follow these steps:

  1. Install Easy USB Creator 2.0
  2. Browse the Windows XP ISO Image to load at the ISO File field
  3. Select the destination of your USB Drive at the Destination Drive field
  4. Start

Easy USB Creator 2.0 supports both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0.

It’s compatible with Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10 plus the Windows Server editions (2003, 2008, 2012). You must have .NET Framework 2.0 or higher in order to use Easy USB Creator 2.0

If you have the installation disc (CD)

If you have the original Microsoft Windows XP Professional installation CD, you can use the CD to create a bootable USB using PE Builder.

It’s important to have the following before you start:

  • The Windows Server 2003 SP1 archive. If not, download from Microsoft now: Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 (32 bit)
  • The PE Builder software (BartPE). If not, download BartPE
  • The original CD of Windows XP Professional, not a Windows XP Home CD.

    A Windows XP Home CD will not work.

To create the bootable drive with Windows XP, follow these steps:

  1. Boot into the system
  2. Download the PE Builder software from http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/
  3. Install the PE Builder to C:. The final path should be C:PEBuilder to make the next steps easier.

Inside the PEBuilder folder, create a new folder named SRSP1. This folder’s path should be C:PEBuilderSRSP1.

  • Download the Windows Server 2003 SP1 archive from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=1143…
  • Rename the archive downloaded from Microsoft to MS-WS-SP1.exe
  • Open Command Prompt. You can also open it by typing cmd in the Run dialog box and pressing Enter afterwards.
  • Type the cd command to go to the folder where the MS-WS-SP1.exe file exists:

    Don’t type MS-WS-SP1.exe in the path above. You only need to go to the folder where the file exists.

    Replace c:downloads with the letter of the drive and the directory where the MS-WP-SP1.exe file exists.

  • Type MS-WS-SP1.exe -x to begin the extraction process, press Enter
  • Choose to extract the files to the same folder, e.g. c:downloads:
  • In Command Prompt, you now need to go to the extract folder at the i386 sub-folder.To do so, type the same cd command, if you’re still at the c:downloads folder in Command Prompt and you haven’t created a new folder for the extracted files:

    If you created a new folder for the extract files, say Extract, in c:downloads, update the cd command to go to that folder:

    Then, type cd i386, press Enter

  • Once inside the i386 folder via Command Prompt, type:

    Replace c:PEBuilder with the path where the PE Builder software is installed, if this was changed in previous steps.

  • While still in Command Prompt, expand the ramdisk.sys file with this command:

    Replace c:PEBuilder with the path where the PE Builder software is installed, if this was changed in previous steps.

  • Go to My Computer
  • Go to PEBuilder folder
  • Go to SRSP1 folder
  • Check that you have the 2 files listed there: setupldr.bin and ramdisk.sys

    PEBuilder: Check that you have the files copied

  • Insert the Windows XP Professional CD in the disk tray
  • Launch PE Builder
  • Make the following changes before you click Build:
    • At the Source field, type the letter of the drive for the Windows XP CD, e.g. e:
    • At the Output field, type BartPE
    • Leave the Custom field blank
    • Media output should be None
  • Click Build
  • When the build process is complete, click Close
  • Go to Command Prompt and then go to the PEBuilder folder by typing the cd command:
  • Type this command (make sure the USB flash drive is not removed) and press Enter:

    Replace d: with the letter of the drive where your USB flash drive is loaded.

  • Type YES, when prompted to begin the process. Press Enter after typing YES.
  • Press any key to exit the pe2usb process, after the process is complete
  • Safely remove the USB flash drive from the port
  • Remove the Windows XP CD from the disk try
  • Reboot the system to check if the USB flash drive is now bootable with Windows XP Professional

If your computer doesn’t boot into the USB drive directly, go to Prerequisites > BIOS/UEFI configuration or read the Boot from USB drive guide to configure your BIOS menu to boot from a USB device first.
