How to boot Win XP from 4gb USB Pendrive

I would like to know if anyone here can help me with this project. I want to be able to find a mother board that can in the bios enable a 4gb USB drive with windows xp embedded on it to boot up. Here is the drive i have in mind

Windows embedded xp is 3gb so it fits fine on this USB flash pen. Is there an MSI board that will allow this possibility??
Regards,
Erik

theres probably plenty of boards that do boot to USB now... but i know for a FACT that both of my nForce2 boards do (MSI K7N2DeltaILSR, Shuttle AN35)

How to boot Powerbook G4 from USB hard drive using Mcintosh v10.5.2 install

Well I am Rider and I have been a mac user for at least 8 years. By far these OS's are the most advanced I have ever seen and it blows every other OS out of the water. My dad bought a Powerbook G4 8 years ago and it lasted 3 years till the hard drive crashed. My dad had it taken out and we still have the Powerbook G4 under the bed. When we bought a new macbook that came with the install disk 10.5.2, I was wondering if there was any way to use a USB 16gb Flash Drive as a hard drive and start up disk.
I have tried sticking the Install Disk in the G4 and after it says choose language for primary install, it says 'Mac OS X cannot be installed on this computer'. It gives a few utilities to use such as Disk Utility, Start up Disk, Net Utility, etc.
So if anybody knows how I can boot a G4 from a USB using Mac OS X install disk 10.5.2, *PLEASE HELP*.
Thankyou,
Rider M.

Hi,
Since you are trying to boot from 10.5, post in the Leopard forum here.

How can I take music from an USB and transfer it to the iPod? It tells me use use itunes to sync but the music is on an USB drive. It had worked in the past. Tks

How can I transfer music from an USB drive to the iPod. I can see the music and play it on the computer, but the iPod tells me to use iTunes to sync. The music is not on iTunes. It has worked in the past.....tks

These are just playlists. The songs there are really not duplicates of the songs. They are just a different location for accessing them. Some playlists can be deleted, some cannot. Ones that are created by iTunes cannot be deleted. Ones that you create can be. The Recently Added and the 90's cannot.

Tell my wife that!
This is the best I can do. This way you can use the 2011 MBA way to do things.
Look for the post from @jacktourist. (on page 2 about half way down) This seems to be the easiest.
There are a couple of more similar to this with pictures I've seen around but can't remember where.
Here's another search with added info. It's easier then it sounds.

I'm new to apple after years of MS OS! How do I transfer files from my USB memory stick to another USB memory stick? cheers

How do I transfer files from one USB memory stick to another USB memory stick on the iMac? cheers, linley94

Plug in the memory stick and it should open then create a New Folder and drag and drop the contents from the memory stick to the new folder you created. Remove the original memory stick all the information should be in the new folder you created. Now plug in the new memory stick with nothing on it when it opens drag the folder with the contents from the original memory stick folder and all into the new memory stick that opened and there you have it.
CHEERS

This seems a very popular question coming up about once every week at
least. And there are many good answers in the developer Zone on www.ni.com
Check out:
Irene He's IVision Toolkit:
http://www.hytekautomation.com/Products/IVision.html
or
Pete Parentes WebCam library:
http://www.cs.unc.edu/~parente/labview/index.shtml
The first is a rather impressive Video Manipulation library with a
nice video capture interface to VfW too, and the second is a simple
video capture library to access any VfW compliant device.

How to install Windows 7 from a USB drive!

This is even easier than installing Windows XP from a USB drive, and will also reduce the time taken to install Windows 7, it took me about 15 minutes!
The advice in the guide is also applicable to installing Vista.
You need basically:
a USB flash drive at least 4GB in size
a Windows 7 DVD
To sum up:
Format your USB drive, with the NTFS filesystem
Open Command Prompt as an administrator, and run the Bootsect.exe program off the Windows 7 CD to make the USB drive bootable
Copy the contents of the Windows 7 DVD to the USB drive
Restart your PC, press F11 (or whichever key it is) to access the Boot menu, and select your USB drive to boot from

I have done this and it is simple.
I cleaned and (re)formated an 8GB flash drive under Windows7 using diskpart. I chose quick format and a fat filesystem. It doesn't need to be ntfs. I had diskpart mark the partition active. I copied the DVD contents to the flash drive. I also made a folder on it for motherboard drivers.
After that, I booted the drive on a new machine. Windows7 setup came up, and didn't find any hard drives, other than the USB flash drive. I clicked the button to load drivers, and pointed it to the folder I had copied them to on the flash. Windows installed without problems.
Hi bnborg..Do u mind sharing with me your motherboard driver folder? I have the MSI U135DX Netbook and each time I hit the button to install Windows 7 it asks me for some mobo driver...Think i might need it to get tru with a successful install..

How do install Windows 7 from a USB optical drive?

I have a 27" 2013 iMac with no optical drive so I borrowed an Apple USB portable optical drive. How do I install Windows on BootCamp from the USB Optical drive?

iirc, you won't be able to or at least you shouldn't, it will take much longer than using a usb install
CHECKLIST
use only a +8gb USB2 flash drive
disconnect ALL devices except kb, mouse
STEPS
do a PRAM reset
open disk utility, confirm you have 1 partition (‘mac HD’ unless you renamed it) and repair permissions TWICE
dl a windows ISO
insert your usb flash drive and open boot camp assistant, choose all options making sure you used the new ISO just dl'd
if you get an error that the windows support software is unavailable, manually dl it here, put it on a separate USB2 drive and install by clicking setup.exe after windows is installed

Booting windows vista from a usb?

hp pavillion dv6500. i want to change my windows 7 to windows vista. I have the cd for vista but my cd rom drive doesnt work, so what i was thinking was booting it from a usb is this even possible? is so can i get a step by step? thanks

Hi:
Yes you can. If you can read the 25 character vista product key on the bottom of your PC, you can follow the guide at the link below to make a bootable vista flash drive--starting on page 289.
http://philipyip.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/windows-reinstallation-guide-03-03-2013.pdf
Otherwise you can google how to make a bootable flash drive copy of your Vista installation DVD.

You will not be able to make one with a recovery disk set.

Bought laptop only has Firefox. How to import IE-Favorites from my USB?

Bought a used laptop that only has Firefox Version 3.6.12. How do I import IE-Favorites from my USB stick?

Firefox can't directly import IE Favorites, you need to '''export''' in HTML format and then '''import''' that file into Firefox.
In IE: <br />
File > Import/Export - Export to HTML file
''then in Firefox:'' <br />
Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks -> Import & Backup - Import HTML... = From HTML file
