Hi all.

I am trying to install xp on a computer with no disk drive as I dont have any IDE drives hanging around anymore! In the bios, it gives the option to boot from USB. I have an xp disk and a computer with a dvd drive to hand, so it must be possible to get XP onto this machine..

So far i have tried Win to Flash on a 1GB usb stick but when i set the computer to boot from USB HDD (or USB FDD or USB CDROM) it simply says NTLDR is missing, please restart.

So now I'm at a loss! What is the best way to get XP onto a machine using a USB stick?
