After this, my drives are recognized as valid installation devices by the Windows XP installer. Each of them contains exactly one. Use a simple Texteditor like Notepad.
In this file, we will change the way Windows treats USB devices during system setup -- the default is to only treat them as input devices during installation -- we will change this to include mass storage driver support which needs to be loaded into the installer much earlier in order to work. First, move the following entries from [InputDevicesSupport. Load] to the [BootBusExtenders.
Load] section , as shown here [BootBusExtenders. Convieniently, the txtsetup. Insert the following in the [HiveInfs. Fresh] section: [HiveInfs. We are done with it.
INF , and change the second [Files] section to look like this: [Files] d1,usbboot. AddService] and [CommonClassParent. AddService] sections: [StandardHub.
They need to be replaced. The end result that we are looking forward to achieve here is to have a separate Windows XP system on a handy and portable storage device. The effect is, you just plug it to your PC and turn it on and wait for it to load. This is really nice if your hard drive suddenly breaks down or if you have another system installed on your PC linux for example and only use Windows every once and a while. Microsoft does not support or recommend to the point of denying it installing Windows on a USB drive.
DO NOT follow this guide if you are afraid of such things happening. These are the people that provided all the information found on this guide. Basically, everything as far as i can see. After completing this tutorial, your Windows XP install should directly boot off your USB-drive, and be fully upgradable, DirectX games will run, all apps i tested work like normal, speed is the same as with a real HDD you need USB2 though — so it is in fact a fine solution as far as i can see.
We recomend a registered version of WinISO but you can use any software you want to do this one. Then we will extract a couple of files there, edit them and replace the original files with the edited ones in to the ISO file.
If it is, then congratulations! If not, see if you can get an update for your BIOS. Shut down you computer, disconnect your internal hard drives and connect your USB disk. Boot with your Windows XP CD and start the installation up until you are ask to choose where to install. Restart your PC without continuing the install setup and download this HP tool. We will edit them later. Each of them contains one. INF file so we should end up with 3 new files all having an.
INF extension.
