thankig much and appologising for using ur time
looking forward ur answer :)

It is easier to run XP from within Win7 as a virtual drive, using freeware like Virtual Box, VMWare or if you have Pro or Ultimate it comes with free XP Mode.

If not then follow Dual Boot Installation with Windows 7 and XP.

Let us know how it goes because sometimes once XP steals the boot it requires Marking 7 Partition Active
to run Startup Repair - Run 3 Separate Times to start Win7 again, then installing EasyBCD (click Download - no Name or Email required) to add XP to a Dual Boot.

i know this page
BUT HERE NOT WRITTEN HOW INSTALL XP WITH USB
HERE IS WINDOWS CD ....

I WROTE THAT I DONT HAVE CD PLAYER.....


MAYBE MY TEXT WAS TOO LONG TO READ????
THANK U FOR ANSWERING ME

From the earlier days here when we were still discussing XP and the flash stick method I seem to recall being most used was Win2Flash.

I just googled this and one of the first solutions which came up uses Win2Flash: How to Install Windows XP from USB Flash Drive

If that doesn't work now then there are other solutions in the search at install xp with flash stick - Google Search

thank u for answering

so u think :


1)i first put xp on usb with link from u .:


I just googled this and one of the first solutions which came up uses Win2Flash: How to Install Windows XP from USB Flash Drive





then instead use of boot cd xp i use this with 1) produced xp boot stick????? in ur dual boot installation method here?:


2) Dual Boot Installation with Windows 7 and XP.





that will work???

Try it to see. XP is very old so not so easy to install any more on modern hardware. You may need to add the SATA Drivers - Slipstream into Windows XP CD if it doesn't install. You may need to find another bootable installer method if Win2Flash doesn't any longer work after several attempts.

Let us know how it goes.

thank u for honest answering


is maybe better to install xp on usb drive ?
then i cant damage my windows 7 + linux dualboot i have now on:)

i couldn t find a clear easy recepit to install on usb xp and the drivers...


xp on usb installed runs much slower on usb then in normal way xp installed on hardrive ???

thank u very for helping me!

Maybe he could use WinNTSetup. Download from this post on Eight Forums. You run it from within your current OS (Win7 in this case) and it will apply the install.wim to the partition he wants to use for XP. (Which has to be created beforehand obviously from within Disk Management in Windows 7)

That might be easier. No need to mess around with trying to boot XP from an USB stick etc. Just use the install.wim from the ISO to install with this tool.
