Well I wasted 16 hours yesterday trying to get TinyXP installed from a Flash Drive. Awesome. I even tried using my legal copy of XP pro.

I don't know what the problem or problems are, but after that many unsuccessful attempts I'm about to say screw XP and benchmarking.

One big problem is no "windows source files" included in TinyXP....if you guys can install it from an optical drive I should be able to make a virtual drive containing it and copy it to the flash drive. Which I am able to do, but it's not booting for numerous reasons....missing hal.dll so it tells you to use the debug codes if you get that error, but the debug codes don't work either. I get hardware configuration problem when I try debug codes.

Ughhhh I don't even really want to talk about it anymore. I just want the answer.

I have a freshly formatted HD, do I need to pre-partition it? Doesn't windows installer have that function?
