I see

I thought that you are better of using NTFS to format USB drives bigger than 2GB. Am i right?

That makes them run faster. But I wasn't able to format my 4GB usb drive using NTFS. My computer wouldn't read it.

Hi Echo Platoon,

That is the exact same application I have already used to successfully create my bootable USB.

But thanks for the info dude.

At least now we have some posts on Driverpacks forum in regards to the issue.

And I'm loving my RyanVM's Post SP3 updated, Driverpacks slipstreamed, nLite automated bootable USB XP Pro SP3.

The only thing that didn't work for me with the USB Multiboot 10 application was that when I formatted my 4GB USB 2.0 flash drive with the HP USB Drive Key format utility in NTFS format and went through the whole process...it did not work. Would give me a No boot device present error.

So then I just used the PEtoUSB to format using FAT16X...even though my USB drive is 4GB. And it worked.

It just couldn't be as fast as NTFS but it still works.

Thank you guys

I have already checked out MSFN. Most of the info there was kind of lengthy, confusing sometimes and requiring a lot of reading.

But as mentioned in my previous post, I managed to get it to work.

Thanks again OverFlow and soo_smitty

Thanks Overflow for replying.

TO be honest with you, I don't really know whether the program I'm using is using setup or winnt32. I'm just trying to create a bootable USB flash drive with a slipstreamed Windows XP Pro SP3 with Driverpacks, RyanVM's Post SP3 updatepack and automated through nLite.

It actually took me a whole day to try to figure it out and I finally did just an hour before going to bed.

After searching for applications that would enable me to create a slipstreamed (with driverpacks) bootable USB flash drive, I finally found one that works.

If you like I can give you further information about it. Don't want to break any forum rules or anything here. You mentioned you don't support that procedure.

Cheers.

This may have been asked before but I just failed to find it in the forums anywhere.

Step 1.

I have been trying to create a bootable USB flash drive with DriverPacks slipstreamed using DPBase and automated using nLite.


Step 2.

I then use Komku's PeToUSB, bootsect, and usb_prep8 to create a bootable USB flash drive using the locally stored slipstreamed Windows XP folder on the hard drive (which I created in step 1)

After the USB drive is prepared, I try to install XP and after the TXT Mode is finished and the computer reboots and the GUI Mode is selected...I get an error saying c:\DPBxxxx.exe file could not be found...and setup continues without decompressing the drivepacks, like it does from a CD/DVD.

Is there an easy way to slipstream a USB flash drive that works? If so...how?

Thanks
