How To Intall Windows XP From USB?

Requirement
  • Windows Xp installation disk,
  • solution.rar file
  • Working pen drive of at least 2 GB.
We need to transfer all XP installation media files into pen drive. If you don't have dump of XP CD on hard disk then you need to copy them from XP CD.
Download this file solution.rar and extract it.
install xp from pen drive
Attach a pen drive (All data will be erase from pen drive)
Open the folder where you have extracted the files from solution.rar and run HpUSBformat.exe.
install xp from pen drive
This command will detect your USB disk, if not, select form the list ( in this example my USB memory stick is drive M: )
Now set these options
  • Volume label : - SYSTEM
  • Check marks on :- Create a DOS Start up disk
  • Select radio button :- Using DOS system files located at:
  • Give the path where you have extracted solution.rar (Give the path of DOS folder) files
install xp from pen drive
At this moment pen drive has become DOS bootable.
Copy all other files from DOS folder to your USB disk. ( you can overwrite existing ones)
install xp from pen drive
Insert Windows Xp installation disk into CD-ROM and copy all files from CD to USB drive.
Now pen drive should look like this
install xp from pen drive
Now you have a xp bootable pen drive.
Now we have XP bootable pen drive. We would install XP from this pen drive.
Boot system from this pen drive. If system does not boot from pen drive check first bootable media setting in BIOS.
Step1:- When system is booted up, and you see command prompt, type sys d: and hit enter if you see system transferred - you have luck, FAT32 file system is on drive C:, you will not lose your data
- go to step 5
- if any problem appears go to step 2
Step2:-REMEMBER, you will loose all data from drive C:/> - when system is booted up from USB, your drive C: appears as D:
Step3:- Type format d:/q/s to format drive D:
accept and when it is finished, go to step 5 ( you are lucky, you don't need to make partitions)
otherwise go to step 4
Step4:- Type fdisk and hit enter
create new partition ( after restart boot with pendrive in)
go to step 3 and format the partitions and come back here :)
type pqmagic and set your new partition active
( physical drive 2, Advanced A, set Active - S, are you sure - Y, Exit - X )
Step5:-Type nc and hit enter, and using Norton Commander, copy all files form pendrive to disk C: ( you can overwrite existing ones)
Step6:-Restart Laptop without pen drive in it (it should start from hard drive)
Step7:-Type cd i386 and hit enter (it will enter i386 folder)
Step8:-Type winnt and hit enter
Step9:-this will launch xp installation process and you can install xp as you do with cd.

The First Generation of Computer

The history of computing hardware covers the developments from simple devices to aid calculation, to mechanical calculators, punched card data processing and on to modern stored-program computers . Before the 20th century, most calculations were done by humans. Early mechanical tools to help humans with digital calculations were called "calculating machines", by proprietary names, or even as they are now, calculators . The machine operator was called the computer. The first aids to computation were purely mechanical devices which required the operator to set up the initial values of an elementary arithmetic operation, then manipulate the device to obtain the result. The slide rule and, later, analog computers represented numbers in a continuous form, for instance distance along a scale, rotation of a shaft, or a voltage. Numbers could also be represented in the form of digits, automatically manipulated by a mechanical mechanism. Although this approach generall...

About Write Only Memory

In information technology, a write-only memory ( WOM ) is a memory location or register that can be written to but not read. In addition to its literal meaning, the term may be applied to a situation when the data written by one circuit can be read only by other circuitry. The most common occurrence of the latter situation is when a processor writes data to a write-only register of hardware the processor is controlling. The hardware can read the instruction but the processor cannot. This can lead to problems in producing device drivers for the hardware. Write-only memories also find applications in security and cryptography as a means of preventing data being intercepted as it is being decrypted. Hardware uses In 1972, WOM, an antithesis of read-only memory (ROM), was introduced as an inside practical joke perpetrated by Signetics. [ 1 ] However it was soon recognized that this concept actually describes certain functionalities in microprocessor systems. [ 2 ] The...
