Create a bootable Windows XP USB Flash Drive

Submitted by ctkscout on Wed, 04/08/2009 - 15:56.

I needed to repair the boot.ini in Windows XP for a NCR terminal 7458 that did not have CD-ROM drive or a flex drive (floppy). The only option I had was to try to boot off of USB. Therefore, I needed to create a bootable USB flash drive with the Windows XP setup files on them in order to get into repair the boot.ini.

Here are the resources I found to make it happen:
