Ask the DoctorAsk the Doctor: Boot XP from USB
Posted 04/23/09 at 08:24:02 PM by The Maximum PC Staff
How can I make a bootable copy of my XP Pro operating system on my 16GB USB 2.0 flash memory stick? Many of the OS files cannot be copied from my computer using Windows Explorer because they are in use. I have tried just about everything.
My computer has an option for USB booting and I would like to have the emergency boot stick as a backup.
