| Win XP setup will not run properly from USB, however you can easily run Vista or Win 7 setup from USB using the procedure below http://www.indiabroadband.net/window...setup-usb.html (Run Vista SETUP from USB) Usually u have to set the USB to be bootable from BIOS. I generally use F8 which bring up a menu from which I can use which device to boot from ie HDD or CD or USB (I hav Intel Mobo) . |

| Let's just say, it is so by "design". If all you have is a single partition , that is , your HDD has only C:\ drive and no other partition , then it can work. Still the process is tedious. |
