Its pissing me off can anybody help me? ok so you did a great job installing a virtual machine the only downside is that it in some cases like 60% wont work cause it cant route the usb signal to the virtual machine. so what we recommend now is to make a cd-rom bootable install of xp. Which means it will load windows xp off your cdrom and run off of a temp folder on the hard disk. This can be done with bart pe, you can also make a usb flash drive bootable xp. it actually works really well looks and feels like thats the os on the computer. An the best part is you can go back and forth between win7 and xp as to figure out your drivers what you need what you dont need what wont work. but generally everything should have a xp driver. I find more and more laptops these days make it easier to run xp. |

Hey so I am trying to follow the directions on how to make a CD bootable XP... but the only instructions on BartPE are if you are using xp at the time. I have a downloaded .iso image file of the xp installation CD. How would I use that to create it?
