USB Boot Disk
Hi , I am trying to create a USB boot disk to install Windows on one of my computer.
I know there is a bunch of post online that explain how to do it , but so far I was unsuccesful.
I am trying to install windows 2008 on a machine that doesn't have a DVD Drive , and the file size (ISO) is 936 so that doesn't feet on a regular CD.
I was able to have a bootable USB , but it doesn't lauch my installation disk
Can someone help me on Making my USB drive (16GB) act has an installation Disk.
Thanks
DAvid

Thank you guys for your post:
mvgeertruyen, I download the Windows PE tools and I am at the step to diskpart, Unfortunately I don't see my disk listed when I do list disk, how can I make it showing.
dbrunton,
the steps are showned for Windows XP installation, I still tried to follow the step but when choosing the source file for the windows 2008 it gives me an error that Dosnet.inf not found.
Do you have other ideas . or a step by step guide to accomplish this task.
Thanks,
David

Ignore my advice on the Windows XP. I didn't see you were installing 2008.
Can you check and see that your USB drive is viewable in Windows?
