TECH: Installing an OS via a USB Stick on a netbook

Occasionally in my business there comes a time when I have a netbook to repair. In which case if the IDE controller doesn't work with the usual external CD drive I have then I need to resort to installing XP via a USB stick.

Thankfully I ended up finding a good tutorial online that uses a tool known as RMPrepUSB to create the bootable disk. 


Anyway it was easy to follow and worked in the end here is the link to the site - http://www.rmprepusb.com/tutorials/install-xp-from-an-iso.


What a lifesaver!
