Copy this folder to your hard drive and remember where you put it.

Like your brother, I lacked an optical drive on the PC in qesiton and any other Vista machine. With this article and a bit of fiddling myself I was able to make active the inactive bootable Vista partition on my HDD. One clarification I would like to make to your article is that I had to boot a XP machine with the Vista installation disk, in order to get to a Vista command prompt and run diskpart in there.

Apart from that, I did everything else as described above. VoldEMorT may be after step open cmd and type diskpart, you can type disk list to see which is your usb drive..

VoldEMorT may be after step open cmd and type diskpart, you can type list disk to see which is your usb drive.. I think I saw the same thing the first couple of times I tried to make a USB HDD bootable, and I think I solved it by doing a complete reformat of the drive in partition commander or something like that.

I have seen that some USB drives are harder to find in diskpart. If I remember correctly was a while ago I did this what I did was to go into some partitioning program and remove all the partitions on the USB drive and then add a new one that was active and format it to NTFS.

I had to go to the manufactorers website and download a program from them to be able to reformat it so that it was usable again. So it should be completely possible to follow this guide without having to get into the vista version of diskpart.

But if you can use it, the vista version has a few more posibilities that could make the process a bit quicker. Fat32 will work just fine. I only had some trouble getting Bootsect to fix the bootsector of a fat32 drive to be able to use bootmgr to boot with. If you only use the usb drive on windows computers it can actaully be smarter to have it in ntfs because of native disk compression and being able to save larger files.

Hit this link boys just installed windows xp home sp2 from colby mp3 player 1gig. It has all the programs you need and links to them Going to try vista which its supposed to do Tuesday will let you know. LOL who would a thunk it.
