Putting XP in Your Pocket

Have you ever tried to make a portable OS ,after making portable applications for pen drive ,which doesn't require any installation,
.After making bootable windows setup and making portable applications i found this ,and it works very Well .so it means.


Putting XP in Your Pocket

Running Windows XP from a flash drive isn’t an exact science. Sometimes the process just doesn’t work and there is no good reason why  . As more PCs start to support booting from USB devices though, USB boots should become more standardized, and the technique should become more reliable,But i've made it and it works !!!
Here’s how you can make your pen drive bootable for windows XP.
This tutorial is only for XP ,you need a Boot enabled pen / flash drive ,a PC with XP installed and Windows XP's Live / Setup Disk.

Requirements:

As with most cool new techniques, there are a few catches. For starters, not every PC is capable of booting from a USB flash drive. For the most part, computers manufactured within the last five years are generally able to boot from a flash drive. Older systems may require a BIOS update, or might not be able to boot from a flash drive at all.

Another catch is that not every flash drive will get the job done. The primary factors that limit your use of a particular flash drive are capacity and speed. Technically, speed isn’t really a limiting factor, but booting Windows will be painfully slow unless you use a flash drive that supports USB 2.0.
