Easy2boot has added your video to their download page. Very cool!

I was trying for a while to install Windows XP Professional on an older system, but I kept on getting either a blue screen, or else the installation kept on restarting back to the menu again. It wouldn't even install when I put the installation files on to the hard drive. I also had two old Windows XP CDs which couldn't install, as they seemed to have lots of files missing or corrupted as well. This video made it very straightforward. So thank you for this very easy to follow guide, and also for the link to the software download as well.

I know this is an old video but thank you so much. I have looked everywhere for a way to install XP from a USB drive, just happened to come across your video and it worked like a charm!!!

I have a faulty cd player in My Acer aspire 5720 and couldn't install Windows XP on it. I was trying for 5 days & no matter what I tried, it will not pass the copying of files. Then error message. I tried several software tools to boot from USB but every single of them failed. I even tried PXE boot of AOMEI software. It starts installing, copies installation files then blue error screen. Then lastly I found this incredible tool called easy2boot. Yes it worked at last and now I have a fresh XP installation on my Acer aspire. Thank you easy2boot. As I understood it, when installing XP, you need drivers which others do not have but this easy2boot does have. So it worked at last. Gratias!

this worked for installing fresh windows xp pro on a old dell machine thank you so much

Thanks a ton, Phil!!! Amazing stuff + your windows xp builds + fallout xp pc... damn this world needs more xp!! ;)

Thanks for the tutorial, Phils. This is what I need for my atom netbook.

I spent 3 days trying to install XP in a Positivo 3G Mobo Netbook (ECS G10IL clone) using Rufus, several versions, without success. Apparently the HDD wasn't recognized and I always ended up on EULA error. So I found this video and succesfully installed XP in the first try! Thanks, man! And thanks, Easy2Boot developer!

This worked on my old, crashed PC where all other boot tools so far failed. Thanks!

I keep finding so much goodness on your channel man! Awesome stuff :D

Thanks Phil, just used this to setup my Retro XP machine. Went pretty smoothly.

I have been subscribed for a few years now and I just had to look this up. Your video was the first result! Nice job phill

As always, a smooth and easy tutorial from Phil, thanks!!!

This is probably the best bootable USB drive creator. I use this for mainly Linux distro testing because some Linux ISO images won't boot when a USB drive is created with certain programs, this one has always worked for me and makes things quite handy when used with a large thumb drive jumping from ISO to ISO. I like that much better than testing OS's in a Virtual Box because then I can run the OS on my hardware to see how it actually runs and if there are any strange compatibility problems that wouldn't show up under a virtual machine.

I can not thank you enough. First time dealing with this old of a computer before thats not apple, and had no idea how I was going to get windows xp on it. Took several hours lol, but I eventually got there! Thank you!!

Oh my God it's been 6years trying to get windows xp boot from USB drive You just covered up my research thank you so much

I have had so many issues with getting xp to load through USB, thank you so much.

real stealthy mr. phill... you can guess who i am haha. ive watched alot of your videos last year and i had no clue until now that a youtuber that i used to like a few years ago, would end up testing my Radeon 7000 gpu.

Thank you for the video :), E2B is better than Rufus for all persons who want to reinstall or install Windows via USB to an old system, that's the difference, at least for me, you have a new subscriber of course.

at first i was pretty uncomfortable watching the process until i realized i can specify the hard drive i can format for installation, i watched the entire video and now i think im ready to install windows xp on my new ssd drive, thank you

Nice, will be great if I ever lose my XP image with SATA drivers slipstreamed in.

oh sir this so great, you save my day.... thank you

Thank you so much I kept getting blue screen of death when using rufus but this fixed it!

hello, are you going to make a new video about this? because something changed and it's different from your video, i didnt figured how to fix it and so i get the error 82 while booting the PC (it cant find E2B_GRUB.txt file) :(

Thank you so much, it worked really well for me xD

Thank you! It worked!

thank you!!! i have an Asus EeePC 1000 and i couldn't get windows XP on it, but this saved me and now it runs faster than ever, thank you!

My portable DVD-RW finally died, served me well since 2004!!! Seriously almost daily use for a decade and a half, well played HP. If curious, it was a DVD640 - now I have to find something else that plays well with older systems haha Until then, I'll just use this guide to create a USB drive for XP SP3. Thanks!

Step 1 was completed successfully but step two is not going further it just showed windows xp once and then black screen

Not working... Error 14... (Acpi problem appears in old version of easy2boot...)

This method is worked perfectly. Using Rufus not able to install windows xp properly 😅👌

Thanks man, I'm trying to recreate my childhood computer and I don't want to mess around with CD-ROMS. This guide is really useful!

Mine got stuck at it saying the "PLEASE NOTE: You must use one of the 'install XP - STEP 2' options after you reboot"and nothing popped up..any help?

YOU HELPED ME ALOT thank you!

THANK YOU SOO MUCH!!!!! I was having issues with booting from a USB to install windows and you saved me 😄

this helped me getting a "magalhães", a portuguese low end pc for students, working with autodata in a mechanic's workshop

Great video, 2 questions: Where do you get these iso files from? Second, the easy2boot site is slightly different now than appearing in your video; which link do I click on as of now, may 2021?

I will try this today.Thank you very much ,sir.

Congrats ! Fast and detailed guide ! Thank you

Been doing this for some years and it works pretty well.

For some reason the second step of installation does not work for me :( I boot into E2B for second time, choose install WinXP 2nd part, iso loads to memory, but then it looks like tries to boot from HDD? And it writes:Cannot run Windows from HDD, problems with hardware configuration :-/

i only get a black screen after doing step 2

Thanks for the tutorial. It ment that I could install Windows XP onto my old laptop, A Dell Latitude D620, and reuse it.

Awesome!!! I can install XP with AHCI in my haswell cpu, thanks!!!!

Phil your a legend mate. You just saved me a lot of frustration getting xp to install on an old athlon 64 x2.

Great video, very helpful. I personally use an iodd device. Its bascially a USB hard drive with CD/DVD drive emulation mode. It allows you to boot from image files. Works great with any motherboards that support USB booting, although it often requires some reboots to get it to recognize the drive. In my experience, works flawlessly with Windows 2000 onwards. Sadly doesn't work with DOS and Win9x images, probably because these images boot from DOS floppy that is packaged inside. And DOS doesnt support that kind of hardware for obvious reasons. Not sure how to fix that, but you should be using floppies and CDs for these OS anyways...

I love your vlog about it , i wish you to create more helpful and usefull vlog like these thankyou very much

Bro thnx you much you helped me you deserved millions subs once again thank you❤️

thank you so much for this video , it helped me a lot so thank you so much^^

I deleted my facebook over the Cambridge Analytica. Thinking of just making a dummy account, I already miss Retro PC Gaming :'(

FLORIN IN 2017 A TRECUT PE AICI SOOO OLD DAYS I CAN'T LOST THIS MEMORYS OMG

Seems like a very useful tool. I will try this sometime in the future. Thanks Phil!

I never get the step at 3:40 :( it never reboots

You can use Rufus tho, I would suggest that, it's a lot more easier to use. I always use Rufus when I install OSes via USB.

man you saved my life, I was trying to install xp for a long time on my hp mini 2133 but because I didn't have a cd reader I would have to buy one, but with your method I could do it without spending anything

This tool worked for me although I did have to skip the step 2 due to my pc being an oem system and it brought up a service tag diagnostic tool. For anyone out there who has an oem system whether it is dell (Which is what I have), HP, Lenovo, ASUS, Acer etc. Make sure that in step 1 when the setup asks you for the partition to install on, format your c: Drive, then repeat the step one and chose to install xp on the C: drive you have just formatted and then once your pc has copied all xp install files, you can safely boot into xp on your internal drive (C: Drive) and it will work. This only applies for anyone who has an oem pc. I had Windows 10 Pro on my Dell and from the factory it was designed for XP. Cant believe it worked. Never thought I was ever able to do it. Thanks Phil :)

To all those who failed on the first step- Try using a 32 bit version To all those who failed on the second step- Just boot directly to the HDD after the first step (with the usb flash drive still connected) Instead of booting into the USB!! All the best guys

Whre did you get your iso images

Thank you thank you thank you! Still using in 2022!

This guide resulted me having a broken Windows XP installation that can't execute anything other than the picture application.

omg its amazing..tnks

Rufus has always worked well for me to burn ISO to usb.

Thank you somuch still working until now

Thanks so much. I would had save a whole workday if I were run into this before . I´ve heard about E2B for Wxp booting but never used it ´til now. Thanks a LOT

Nice video, now I can reinstall Win XP on my sister's laptop (if it still works)

I need iso file can anyone pls give me link

Step one done successfully, but when computer restarted and i booted again from USB, i got a massage from my laptop says "Windows could not star because a disk hardware cnfg problem. Could not read from selected boot disk...etc" what to do 🤷🏼‍♂️

oh god thanks!! finally i can get rid of that error trying to boot xp from a usb

Oh, snap. I needed to see this. Was trying to figure it out myself, but my research couldn't find anything effective for windows xp.

I was working on a Dell XPS/Dimension XPS Gen 4 and didnt have had a driver CD - SATA to IDE mode was not a option in the BIOS. Finally after this video I was able to install WinXP onto it. First tryed it with NTlite, but this didnt worked.

I know this video is centuries old, but i'm in the process of building a Shuttle Cube (h67) and i wanted one 7 and one Xp, and couldn't get xp to work.... will have to try this now! :)

Thanks man this is the only tutorial which worked for my acer aspire one netbook!

Thank you this guide is top notch it helped me install windows xp on old hp workstation and before i was getting frustrated this is easy as it comes to set up and install and would recommend anyone who is not a computer genius to follow this as its easy once again my good man thank you

E2B v1.B2 had a bug - always gives 'ntkrnlmp.exe - error 14' error - update to E2B v1.B3 (it only takes a few seconds).

perfect my friend. it worked. Im supe happy. 5 months trying. finally with your video i was hable. tks :D

THANK you so much! Worked so easy!

Very useful tool. Thanks Phil!

You helped me alot dude thank you

Best explanation very very simple guy

Glad I found your tutorial... My PC is working again

Thanks! Very helpful

Finally somting that works!!! :) Thanks for this!

stuck on this and nothing happens: ''PLEASE NOTE: You must use one of the 'Install XP - STEP 2' options after reboot (512= is safest)'' its just frozen on that

Love your Videos!...i could binge watch them

very neat, should work great with Win XP Black ISO

Another option are HDD cases with integrated USB Optical Drive emulation. They provide the best compatibility with almost every OS/PC and some can even emulate USB flash drives and floppies just from images. Especially with UEFI boot, where Easy2Boot struggles, this can come in handy.

Thnx budy your videos are old but still gold 😅

looks pretty cool Phil, I've used another app (cannot remember the name) to create XP bootable USB drives, but this one seems to be the easiest and most versatile

Thanks a lot I've been trying to reinstall windows XP on a old netbook from 2008 which has no cd drive but for some reason came with a reinstall cd.

still working! xp is up! thanks!

Amazing man, I was so stuck when I used poweriso rescue utility

Looks easy! I'm definitely gonna try this on my old 14 year old pc!

Worked like a charm. Thanks man😊

Thanks it works now i can install Windows XP on my old laptop

Great video, easy to follow. But I was wondering where did those two desktop "ISO" files come from that you dragged into the USB?

Nort work for me with ASRock M266A (Via Chipset). On post I receive a message "Searching for Boot Record from USB RMD-FDD..OK" and dont start the bootloader... :(

Plus help me when i do the easy2boot thing to my USB it does nothing

Thanks brother this method worked for my HP mini 100-3000 🙂

Very Useful , Many Thanks Phil

Thanx. You just got a subs!
