Hi,

Does anyone know an easy way to install Windows XP from a USB hard drive?

Basically, I want to speed up the process of installation.

Thanx

AMO

    SHould be in the tech forum
    anyway I don't think it can be done from a usb hard drive (i may be wrong)

    you could make your own unattended install disc (I have and it saves answering all the questions) - google this

    alternative if you are deploying to lots of identical machines (and have 1 enterprise license key) you could setup one PC, make an image and then use that on the remaining PCs.

    Hello AMO

    Your thread will be better placed in the 'Techie Stuff' board, so I'll move it across.

    Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere(please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies. If you have any questions about this policy please email [EMAIL="abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]!!!!!![/EMAIL].

    Regards
