KneeDeep Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 No one has even the slightest idea of what it is that you want. We don't have a mirror image of your XP installation on USB Flash drive. Perhaps you need to be a lot more clear on what is is exactly that you feel that you need and perhaps furnish exact model details of your laptop.

KneeDeep Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 If you are referring to XP Recovery Console; http://www.komku.org/2013/07/winsetupfromusb-simplest-way-to-install-windows-xp-from-usb-flash-drive.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThaidDown Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Do you want the Norton ghost 15 .iso so you can make a bootable USB ? Is so it is available here ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/linked_files/Ghost/NGH1501_AllWin_English_SrdOnly.iso (If not then I misunderstood) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XP Recovery Console as before. or any recovery image, such as this; http://www.mediafire.com/file/nqwfzmzzjnk/Vista_Recovery_Disc.iso/file to boot into the Recovery Environment in order to select Command Prompt. You can use Rufus to create the Bootable image from the .iso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, that won't work. You need to use a small utility to to transfer the .iso to the usb and make it bootable . Suggest Rufus ( https://rufus.akeo.ie/ ) I, personally use the portable version.

ThaidDown Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 1, Download Norton ghost iso (see my post #5) 2, Download Rufus portable (my post #8) Run Rufus - Insert blank usb (select in Device) Select the NortonGhost iso in the 'boot selection' field) NOTE All existing date on the usb will be erased. Start Rufus to produce bootable usb. Boot from usb. You should now be in Norton Ghost. Select your XP image and Restore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisinth Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 If you already have your ghost image, you could try an alternative method from this page: https://www.lazada.co.th/catalog/?q=external+dvd&_keyori=ss&from=input&spm=a2o4m.home.search.go.1125719cLx69o4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisinth Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 @poanoi Does you computer's BIOS have the ability to boot from USB? Assuming your computer is from the XP era, it may not be able to. Check in your BIOS or start preferences (usually one of the function keys on boot). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
expatriot Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Chrisints Hello, notice your knowledge of Unix and USB boot loader wxperience Can you help resolve problems accessing the internal flash memory embedded Windows CE6 operating system... I have three Windows OS embedded GPS portable Navigation pads that I want to examine the CE6 start up and ce6 registry files from the USB port or the SD card boot loader. All three GPS start up and display the original embedded touch screen menu and a direct access using USB port requires XP software using .NET tools with Active X... The problem is to find a way to Edit examine internal FLASH memory using Linux or W7 OS as the USB access tools What started the trouble with the Three GPS is the glass touch screen metal coper wire overlay cracked inside parked vehicle and after locating replacement touch screens are now dead un calibrated not used the three GPS can only boot up and show the display menu selections that can not be accessed with uncalibrated non set up touch screen over lay... I understand a SD card loaded same as a USB boot can reload the EEPROM embedded CE6 calibration start up software however the factory in China / Hong Kong offer zero support for the old CE6 Microsoft Opertinfg System Please advise if you have any solutions / contacts / etc to pursue these GPS alternate solutions or discard them in the trash. Thanks for listening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
