Ah yes, my childhood dream. Have always wanted to make that thing since I was... 8 or 9? Actually, it was a quite nice idea: you just "grab" a PC with you and you may/might plug your PC almost anywhere. When I was 11, I discovered Linux Live distros and I thought this is a perfect idea. However, now you had just helped me with achieving my good old "WinXP To Go" thing. Thank you.
Really nice, man. I used to try installing windows XP on USB flash drive, on machine I've found in garage, without success. Now i can retry experience.
honestly the best way to do this that keeps hard ware compatibility is to make a Linux USB with persistent storage and run a XP VM on that. It would run perfectly on any compatible computer, even if it doesn’t support XP.
Windows XP Embedded (after a few updates/service packs) supports USB boot and if you know how to create a working image it will boot. The easier way to get XP To Go, you install Embedded POS Ready 2009 to the flash drive. I already had good luck installing POS Ready 2009 to an external USB Hard disk and it booted just fine, even on other computers.
This is actually pretty usefully for my thin client as it runs a very basic OS that can only do remote desktop and doesn't have an IDE port. It's slow but I don't care since it's only used as a CCTV server
I dont think he will read it but i very like ur kind of videos because its nice to see what is (im)possible with computers, u put much work into your videos, i hope that you will get much more subscribers on youtube, its still fun to watch your videos, letting the time be gone faster, just keep doing this stuff, not much people are that talented, ur probably the best minecraft mob man
I remember doing the same thing by myself when my hdd suddenly died, and I needed working PC asap. So I installed XP to 8GB USB stick. To avoid the 7B bsod and lack of hard drive errors, you could do some more registry modifications and install modified USB storage driver to trick the OS (it was called Hitachi Microdrive if I recall correctly). It was painfully slow, but if you install EWF (enchanced write filter) driver from Embedded XP, it was very fast with reads from USB and writes straight to RAM, with downside being that it eats RAM very fast if you write anything to disk.
I am impressed You are the computer master I was actually looking for a window xp flash drive that i can take and put in cause i have a computer with a dead hard drive And a flash drive that i don't use So this is a really great thing Thanks so much for this i love your videos
Ha, I beat you on this. I did this before with POSReady 7. (Techanically Windows 7) But I might do Windows 8.1 in the future. Took like 1 hour or less just to manually make the USB into a Hard Disk using diskpart. So it could it install. Though 1 thing. The startup up is WAY slower than usual. around 3x - 6x slower than a HDD. Edit - Was dumb enough to forgot that Windows XP doesnt support USB booting normally. Anyways, thansk for leaving the files since my SATA cable a USB XP Hard drive might do great
Silly question. Can windows XP be set to run as a live CD like Linux?. Seems that would solve a few issues and still enable a USB drive to be used in place of a fixed HDD.
I think i read about 0x7b somewhere, and that it has to do with NTDETECT You can find a "fixed" version, and try injecting that into your ISO and see if that fixes that annoying issue.
5:44, the reason for it to put back the hard drive is because the OS will ask to the BIOS to where the OS is and it will detect if there is a Hard Drive and if there is a Hard Drive it will Read and Write to it making it Work (Although maybe it's for the Partitioning of the hard drive making it store all of the data to boot) idk if this is correct but yea??
So you're telling me that this USB stick can just get put inside of a computer with any hard drive and it boots into XP? I need that. You could actually probably sell that for a couple hundred dollars, even though it's just a cheap usb stick with XP downloaded on it which is optimized with tampered drivers. That's literally crazy.
I already installed POSReady 2009 to a USB Hard disk and it booted just fine from multiple computers. Now I'm working on installing it to a flash drive, but I'm getting registry related errors when drivers are installing.
5:47 maybe because the bootloader doesn't support that quite well and it has to search for an operating system on the hard drive... but because you plugged it out, it might have been that :)
Well... back then I used USBoot for Windows XP and it worked fine... until Windows 7 became compatible with many old games of my time BUT what would really interest me is whether it's possible to install Windows XP on a VHD and boot it via the Windows 10 Loader... Or generally installing Windows on a VHD without virtualization or similar :)
I understand the XP kernel doesn't have SATA/USB support, so booting XP from a USB will crash as the WIndows loads the driver during boot? However, now with the XP source code available, I wonder if it can be modified. I have an XP running from SATA, but would love to have it run from USB. If not, perhaps ReactOs will?
What’s the music at 3:15? It kinda sounds like drumstep. Also, I’m getting a Samsung Series 7 Gamer which I’ll review soon, just though I’d mention that if you’re interested.
I think the computer gets trick. When you insert the hard drive it get trick to start the process but when you remove it. The computer has no option but to install it on the USB and give errors. (I don't think this is right or wrong. I just think this is the case. )
Is that a Sandisk Extreme Pro USB 3.1? I got one too and I couldn’t live without it anymore lol. SSD-like Read/Write speed on a flash drive. I have an old Samsung T1 too but thats a bit too bulky imo (barely fits into wallet) so I keep this Sandisk drive on my keychain
Hi Enderman! Awesome video, and I want to ask you, you we're on CollabVM telling us you want to fix the VM and you said it in all capital? Just wanna know.
Hey Enderman , why can we download windows xp iso and Rufus and put xp iso in and select “Windows To Go’’ and wait and boot from usb (by the way I used windows 10 version 1903 on my windows to go usb will it’s i 1tb big drive and I love your videos by the way ) and hope you see this.
It was most likely implemented to prevent windows from putting your boot files in different places like when you install windows 9x it will put your boot files on a different drive than the one it puts the windows install on super annoying and an odd behavior.
Probably since windows XP was never designed to be booted from a USB there is a hardwired check somewhere to make sure there is at least one hard drive in the system
I don't feel nice about saying this but, it is easier with Windows 10, at least when I tried it. But nonetheless, nicely done. The explaination, wlakthrough on what you did to get it working and taking your chances on removing a hard drive while the laptop is on. Edit: Hey Enderman if you see this, do I have permission to do a video like this showing this but with Windows 10 or at least a newer OS?
Maybe there's a check for the presence of a hard drive at the start of every process? Because it assumes that Windows will be installed on a hard drive?
I think that the pc does a check on the system and the hard drive needs to be present for this check but since it is only done during the boot process, you can get away with yanking the drive out since its not used outside of this self test. At least, this is my theory on why you needed to put it in 3 times
"Oh, so you wanna run it from usb stick so you don't need a hard drive?"
Enderman inserting the drive 5th time: "Well yes, but actually no."

You can also do it by installing the modified Windows XP onto USB through vmware then booting it on real hardware. This way is a bit more easier
