Installing Win XP on usb flash

[TDSBG]

Hello, 

Im looking into installing windows xp on usb and boot from it if it possible. 

If anyone knows how please let me know thanks in advance.

afaik its not gonna work if you want it to be portable between different pcs (its been years since i tried tho, but i doubt anyone cared to do that since xp is obsolete)

You need to somehow convert the USB to SATA. Best way is to use an SD Card to SATA converter, install to that then plug the SD Card into a USB SD Card converter.

@Master Disaster getting the os on a flash drive isnt that big of a problem. problem is booting from it on different machines because newer hardware doesnt have xp drivers and iirc you cant cram all the drivers youd need for older hardware either

Forgot to mention i will use it on single pc

you can download the windows xp .iso file from:- https://isoriver.com/windows-xp-iso-download/

 

and then burn it to usb using rufus

OP wants to install the OS onto a USB drive, not create an OS installer.
