well problem is My friend has an laptop with broken cd rom.. I tried making bootable usb but somehow bootable xp on USB does not boot in that laptop.. so I copied xp setup to hard disk and tried booting to dos and run setup but it did not work as after booting to dos it does not show hard disk partition


So guys any solution pls reply fast.. well I don't understand why it is not showing hard-disk partition..

I have already tried app like iso to usb and wintoflash but failed.. I made hiren bootable USB and dos bootable usb that worked flawlessly.. just xp bootable usb does not work

Just run the setup.exe from the setup folder of Windows XP from HDD.
It should run from within the windows itself. PC will restart and setup will then continue in normal mode.

Click to expand...

  1. Copy the Setup or image file(.iso) to your HDD
  2. Then Download Magic iso its free:-D
  3. Then open Magic iso and open windowsxp.iso
  4. There should be Setup.exe
  5. Click on it voila:mrgreen:

OR Just Open the Setup as suggested by Vyom
