Cool, I got lots to do when I get home......no I haven't left yet;)
Thanks reverend, that would be excellent. |
good stuff, but that's not for making a USB XP install flash drive it's a bit more involved lol. If you just want to make a flash drive bootable, dl the dos file pack from bootdisk.com, and use the HP USB Format tool. I think that's all that Jody did.
edit: nope, he made it way more complicated lol. Quote:

Right-O Rev!
Making the flash drive bootable isn't the problem. Burning the iso to the flash drive is where things get dicey. (I didn't get enough sleep last night. lol. Shoulda stay at the Holiday Inn.) |

That's cool I have all weekend. EDIT: or as long as it takes...I really appreciate the help!

Any luck Reverend? I think I'll buy a dvd burner tomorrow so I guess I'll be all set.:)
|
I bought this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16827106289 , so I will try to get tiny xp installed tonight.
|
....well I installed TinyXP rev09 and it tells me bootmgr is not found when I try to load TinyXP.
WTF? |

Do you have more than one hard drive plugged in?
|
I tried it with only the tinyxp drive installed and with my 7 drive hooked up. I set it to boot from the tinyxp drive.
|
Try physically removing any other drives you may have hooked up to the mb and use the TinyXP only. Were the other drives with the Win7 OS present when you installed TinyXP?
This has just about got to be something on your end ny - TinyXP rev9 is about as reliable as anything out there...works when nothing else does. Wipe it/long formatt and re-install...if that doesnt do it I would suspect the hdd you are using. Do you have another to try? |
I got it now. Apparently BOOTMGR got installed on the 7 drive or something. I reinstalled with no other drives hooked up the 2nd time.
Thanks. |
Good deal - That's why I like to disconnect other drives when installing an OS...I mistakenly erased a storage hdd once and have never forgotten it lol.
|
I wanted it so when I start the system it asks me which OS to use, but that didn't happen. I must manually select via the BIOS.
EDIT: It's good this way. |

LOL yeah... got a little frustrated at it again.
Sorry for the confusion. If I say "Mojave" it means windows 7 when everything is working. If I say I have a "virus", it means Windows 7 is acting stupid again. |
