LUZR4LIFE Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 I have no ideal how to install XP from USB, I wish I did but I have never took the time out to do the research. I would think that all you would have to do is redo your USB files or just replace the file on your USB source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be able to copy that file from a XPCD and replaced the corrupt/missing file on your USB. Again, I am not sure because I have no ideal how the source is built on your USB but replacing that file on your USB with the same file from a XPCD should work.
