Please can someone help. I have tried to install xp on my hp2133 using this method. all works well up to the point where it asks to make ntfs partition or use the exisitng one. Then if I choose either of the optoins I get a message saying
” setup has determined that D: is corrupted and cannot be repaired. ( D seems to be a recovery disk ). #then it says ” setup cannot be continued, to quit setup press F3″
This is a second hand hp2133.
Can anyone help?
has anyone else had this problem?
Am i doing something wrong?
Am i supposed to format the hard disk before I boot from the xp flashed usb stick??
Thanks,
Steve.

Sorry, forgot to mention that you must also download the 64 bit version of VDK.exe, just google it I found it there. Just merge the folder in your USB-PREP8 folder.

OK, I think I finally solved this after extensive research. The problem is that 64-bit Windows 7 requires all drivers be signed. You need to download a third party app. to disable driver signing, then restart your PC, and restart the process of the USB script.

Great advice! It got me past the BSOD. In BIOS I needed to disable Native SATA. I have an HP Mini 5101.

Alternatively download the latest ubuntu iso and usb install utility from the ubuntu homepage. Then change your boot order in bios to boot from usb. Answer some very simple on screen questions and there you go.

It’s a shame the process is this long, in the end I installed Ubuntu instead.

Hey, i just used this process to install Windows on my netbook and it worked great!

Also if you are having troubles with the final step of telling your computer to boot off the Harddrive and not the flash drive, i had some troubles. The steps i followed were this:

1) Remove the USB Flash Drive, Open start, run, type “cmd”, in the command prompt type “msconfig”

2) Select the boot.ini tab

3) Click the option “Check all boot paths” (This was suggested above in the walkthrough)

4) The NEW step i tried was the button NEXT to the above mentioned one, called “Set as default”, when i clicked it, i noticed it modified some of the information in the little window above that shows the boot.ini info.

5) Then when you say ok, it will ask to restart, say yes. At this point it booted up for me properly!

I hope that helped you guys out!!!

Thanks for the walkthrough!!
