Thanks bro. I actually figured out the whole problem though. It's always something......in the instructions of what to type in the command prompt it does not tell you to type a colon after the drive letter.

Maybe I should just know that, but even so I was following the instructions so WTF?

It still won't work with the rev 10 I d/l off PB though. So I'm just waiting for the rev 9 from OCA FTP to be done.

Thanks for the help brothers. Until next time..................

For some reason the d/l stopped @ 429/700 MB? Now I have to spend like 2-3 more hours waiting for it...great.

All day to do a xp install.

I'm not no Fucktard ok

I follow these directions http://www.ocia.net/articles/xpflashdrive/page1.shtml and when i get to the point where I have to navigate to the folder where I copied the windows files, it tells me there are no installation files found there. I checked that I copied the contents of the iso I wanted to that folder.

I am now very frustrated, but more determined than ever to win this battle.

Should I just install XP and then strip it down? It might be faster.
