Hi I already tried 2 diffrent softwares to install windows xp from usb.
Rufus: On boot i get "A disk read error occured"
WinSetupFromUSB1.6: After driver loading I get BSOD with 0x0000007B error.
All softwares are used without any advanced configuration, so did I miss something or what?
Specs:
CPU: Intel Pentium IV 3.0GHZ x2
MB: Asrock P4i65G
RAM: 1.5 GB.
HDD: Samsung 7200 RPM 70 GB.

It is likely that your P4 system cannot boot from USB.

Problem is that last win install I installed from CD and worked fine, but then my cd broke and I'm forced to install from USB, I have theory that this pc is too old support custom systems, but pretty much same year laptopt from same usb installed fine.
