    Hello all, I know this may have been asked before or something but Searching a million times didn't get me any answer.
    First of all, I read rules,is this allowed?
    I hate to be installing Pirated versions of windows, but I have a Slow/Laggy netbook with an official xp copy and this is pretty much the only thing i can do.
    Sorry if this is the wrong thread.
    I also know that MicroXP was created back in 2008....
    Anyway,
    I Need help on getting MicroXP by eXPerience to install from a USB Drive.
    As said above, I searched a million times and I didn't get the answer I want. >.<

    I have tried using Rufus but it says i have to use NTFS for it to work, which I dont want.

    PEToUSB also didn't work, it didn't Detect my Flash drive.

    Thanks.

    It does need to be unzipped it's a rar file.

    I am using fat32, not ntfs...
    Those programs didn't really help make my USB Bootable.

    Using rufus you have a choice to alter the create a bootable disk option
    for it to use the bootable image of the iso. Then clicking on the drive icon
    to find the iso file.

    If you just leave all of the settings alone in rufus and put a flash drive in your computer
    you will have created a fat32 bootable flash drive.

    You do need to start/instruct your computer to load from flash drive.

    If you click on the freshly made rufus flash drive you will find three files
    locale folder plus , autorun, autorun files.

    This confirms that you have successfully created a bootable fat 32 dos drive.

    Question what microxp file extension have you, is it an ISO or EXE file.
    Right clicking on the file will tell you.


    If I have misunderstood please recontact.

    I've already tried Rufus, It gives me this error when setting the filesystem to fat32 in the picture.
    It is an ISO File. I can only make it bootable with NTFS using the MicroXP ISO.
    Should I just format my usb drvie NTFS for when I am installing MicroXP to my netbook then reformat is fat32?

    There are none standard ISO formats, and this is what the instruction/error code
    is indicating.
