This program will put all the setup files onto the HDD and when we boot to the HDD we will begin setting up XP. Now, we need to go back to Hirens Program Launcher, and go to "Programs -> Other -> WinNTSetup" You have now successfully configured the boot records of you HDD. First, select the correct partition in the drop down menu (Depending on how you formatted the HDD you should only have one partition and won't need to change this.) Next Click "Process PBR" (This will configure the Partition Boot Record of the logical HDD.)ħ. Select "Windows NT 5.x MBR" and Click "Install / Config" then OK -> OK.Ħ. Click Process MBR (This will configure the Master Boot Record of the physical HDD.)ĥ. Click Programs -> Partition / Boot / MBR -> BootICE.ģ.Navigate to the program launcher (which should be minimized in the system tray or "HBCD Menu" on the desktop.).Hiren has included a program in his program launcher that does this called BootICE. The next thing we need to do is configure the boot records of the HDD and partition. This is done the same as you would in a normal installation of XP (That is My Computer, Right click on the HDD, then "Format")
When MiniXP loads you first need to format the HDD you will install XP on. Next we boot to our USB drive on the PC that you will be installing XP on and select the second menu option (MiniXP). Ok, you have your XP Pro Setup CD copied to the Directory ("X:/Setup/OEM/XP/Pro" in my case.)
) In this tutorial we will reference to XP Pro OEM 32-Bit. I like to keep things clean so I myself have made multiple directories, one for each version of XP (Being Retail, OEM, Home and Pro. So, first insert your XP Setup CD, and copy ALL of the files from the CD to a directory on your flash drive. This can be any version you have (or all versions.) Ok, so to install a version of XP without having to boot to a CD you can use your new toy (The Bootable Flash Drive) but of course you will initially need the setup CD for Windows XP. Now, if you have played with your boot USB enough you have probably already found this out.
