The following guide will show you step-by-step how to use one of WinSetupFromUSB-helper program master Windows XP-makers to make a bootable USB stick complete with a master Windows XP. Compared with other ways, this way more quickly and more easily done, even for those who are not yet confident enough and called himself as a beginner.
Before you start, you need to download WinSetupFromUSB here. This program can support the installation of Windows XP either 32 bits or 64 bits.

Besides, all you need is:
- Minimum-sized USB stick 1GB
- Original Windows XP CD
- The courage and a little patience;)

I do not recommend you to use Windows XP that is not original or Windows XP that has been reduced so that his master CDs are smaller than the original version. I actually recommend that you do slipstreaming updates into the WinXP Service Pack. You can do it with a program called nLite. Guide to use nLite you can find here.

And, here are the steps you need to do:

1. Download and install WinSetupFromUSB. The default installation folder is C: \ WinSetupFromUSB.

2. Create a special folder where you saved the file Installing Windows. Here I save the installer file in D: \ WinXPHome. Next copy all the contents of your WindowsXP CD Installer into this folder, so it looks more or less looks like this:

3. Run the program WinSetupFromUSB. Do not forget to flash your plugged into the USB slot. So that will appear in the USB Disk Selection are like this:

4. Select your Source Folder. Click the Browse button in the line of Windows 2000/XP/2003. Discover the master folder of Windows XP that we have made previously. In this case I use the D: \ WinXPHome.

Do not forget to click OK and the folder D: \ WinXPHome will appear in the Source column of Windows 2000/XP/2003.

4. Format your USB flash. Previously I've introduced a USB flash tools namely HPUSBFW formatters (HP Formatting Tool). Here, you no longer need the program because the program WinSetupFromUSB existing programs that are integrated flash formatters.

Just a suggestion, the size of a USB flash up to 2GB should be formatted in FAT16. While for flashdisk 4GB upwards must be formatted in FAT32. This time I will reformat the flash Kingston Data Traveler mine with FAT32 by clicking WinSetupFromUSB RMPrepUSB in the main menu.

5. In RMPrepUSB main page you will find you pendrive under Drive column. Then select FAT16, Boot As HDD, and XP Bootable (NTLDR). Also make sure you do not select the Choose Folder checkboks at the bottom. Click Prepare Drive to begin the format like the following illustration:

When confirmation of RMPrepUSB appear, click OK. The flash you will soon be formatted. If the information appears successful, click OK and Exit to exit the program.

6. Copy all files in the folder Windows XP master. To start this step, click the GO button in the main window WinSetupFromUSB program. Wait a few moments to complete the document copying process. If you're still using USB 2.0, this process will not take long. The first time I used this program on a PC Pentium 4 with USB 1.1, when copying documents takes approximately 20 minutes.

If the License Agreement appears, read and click Agree. Furthermore, when you see a confirmation like this, then the circuit this process has been completed.

Click OK and close the program by selecting WinSetupFromUSB EXIT button.
