I hate discs, probably due to my bad experiences with them. So, if you are like me, and want to install windows on your pc and you feel that your CD/DVD drive is not working properly, or you don't have an optical drive to install windows, than you can prepare a USB device for installation of windows XP, vista or 7. This is a simple way to make a boot-able USB.
Normally all notebooks have the option in the BIOS to boot from USB. Many other motherboards like Intel 865, 915, 965 etc. also have the option to boot from a USB device. So it is very simple and easy way to install XP on you computer. To make a boot-able USB, first of all you will install a software "wintoflash". You can easily download this software from the web. The size of this software is approximately 17MB.
Install it on your computer and then start this program. It has two different paths. In first browse option you will select windows disk and in second browse option, select your Pen drive/USB. Click next to proceed. It will copy all files of windows from DVD to USB. Now click finish. And tadaaa. Now you can use this USB for installation of windows, no need for those scratched up disks. Cheers, Sam
