Hey,

Basically im upgrading my old PC to windows XP, I've downloaded it,
Basically i've got no CDS, but i do have a 8GB usb pen drive,
Can i make my ubuntu computer, boot from it when i plug it in.

I dont mean to install XP onto the usb drive, i just want to use it to carry it over to the other pc, like a CD.

+REP to all suggestions

-Kevin.

Turn on your computer, go into BIOS and see if you can booth from USB. If not, then no.

I doubt you will be able to because dont you need to be like running the computers OS to be able to activate a USB? Not sure :P

Google install XP via usb. You'll need a windows PC to do it with though.

Only newer computers have it.
