WinToFlash:- Create USB bootable with OS installer

Are you an Netbook user? Or do you have a any problem to format or install OS to laptop without CD ROM? Here Vowblogger want to share about good method, WinToFlash. Let's try it.

What you need to prepare?
1) USB Pen Drive wiht minimum 2GB
2) Operating System CD such as Windows XP
3) PC or laptop with CD ROM

Limitation:
Windows XP
Windows Vista
Windows 7

I will use Windows XP for the following example.

Procedure:
1) Place Windows XP CD into CD ROM.
2) Plug in USB pen drive to USB port.
3) Run the WinToFlash.exe from the downloaded files.
4) Go to "Task" tab and select Task type as following, <> and then click "Run".

5) In the "Basic parameters" tab, assign the correct "Windows source path" and "USB Drive". For this example, my CD ROM is "F:\" and USB pen drive is "I"\".

6) "Process steps" tab is the process steps are going to carry to the USB pen drive.
7) Go to "Basic parameters" then click "Run", WinToFlash software start to write data to USB pen drive from CD ROM. This process will consume about 15 to 20 minutes.
8) Once complete, USB pen drive will be able to work as bootable USB and Windows XP installer.

NOTE:
When you want to use this USB pen drive to boot up, make sure 1st Boot Device has been selected as USB. During booting, there is 2 options for selection as following,

1st, text mode setup (Boot from flash again after finished)
2nd, GUI mode setup, continue setup + 1st start of Windows

Hope you enjoy it as me.

Cheers.
