Well first off you need a pen drive that has enough space to hold the entire install disk then you will need to set your bios to boot from whatever drive letter your pen drive will be plugged into. Double click on your my computer icon with your pen drive plugged in and check the drive letter it was assigned, that will be the letter you will have to change your boot up drive to in your bios. I would be sure to keep your CD drive as at least the second boot up drive just in case you run into any other problems.

I have personally never tried this and wouldn't recommend it because I am concerned that when you wipe the hard drive to install the new operating system you will most likely lose the driver that controls your usb ports and the pen drive wont work.

If at all possible i would use the CD to install your operating system!

You can buy a sandisk pendrive . It has got data theft protection software. In case of virus ,you have to install it in the location of your pendrive or external hard disk .

Believe me it works


You have install window xp from window 2000 and after that the installation the internet doesn't work. so you decide to install window xp media edition and it work now you want to unstall the window?

You cannot "uninstall" Windows. You need to format the hard drive and install Windows from scratch. You can do this by booting from the Windows CD (Windows 2000 in your case, I suppose) and following the steps onscreen. The reason that your internet did not work is probably that you neglected to install a driver for your network card or modem. Installing the driver should allow you to use the internet.


How can you make window XP a dual boot with window 7?

There's no "magical hidden" XP lurking under Windows 7. You could install both operating systems on the same computer and dual-boot, or alternatively (and much less complicated) just get a hypervisor program like Oracle's VirtualBox or Microsoft's own VirtualPC (both of these are free, though you'll have to have a legitimate copy of XP to install) and install XP on the virtual machine.
