How to install Windows XP from a flash drive?

Question

Windows

I have a PC from old iron, I want to play old games on us under Windows XP.
Core 2 Quad, 4Gb, GTX 240.
No CD-ROM, you need to install from a flash drive. If you burn via Ultra ISO - an error during installation "inf file txtsetup.sif is corrupted or state 18 is missing".
I found this instruction comp-profi.com/view_post.php?id=242, downloaded the version of WinSetupFromUSB, which is mentioned in the article, but: in the main window of the program, my flash drive (SanDisk 32Gb) is seen, but Bootice sees only HDD, flash drives not on the list. In a newer version of the program, the flash drive is seen, but there is no Perform Format option.
Please tell me how to still install Windows XP from a USB flash drive (I'm making a USB flash drive on a computer with Windows 10).

Answer 1

Use rufus: https://rufus.akeo.ie/ - it normally makes any bootable flash drives.

Answer 2

if you have an android phone, then you can put the drivedroid program on it, upload the iso image of the Windows installer to the micro-sd and install it from there. much more convenient than reformatting a flash drive.

Answer 3

My answer will be a little more "wide-ranging". There is such a recovery tool in the form of LiveDVD or LiveUSB - called MultiBoot .
In addition to the actual tools for settings and repairs, it also has clean distributions of Windows 8.1, 7 and XP on board. Moreover, XP - even in two versions: one installation option does not work - we use another. In the simple version, you need an 8 GB flash drive, in the full version - 16 GB.
To solve your problem (and thousands of others) - that's it, I recommend it.
