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.

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.)
