HR, we already had a discussion about installing using USB. I've tried it and the transfer rate is VERY VERY slow. The slowness is pretty unbearable, that's why I didn't want to spend more time researching on it.

Before Ray posted a tutorial on making a USB bootable with Kon-Boot, I used a simple method for myself. The draw back is, it utilizes U3 Customizer.

Simple rename the Kon-Boot ISO to "U3CUSTOM.ISO" and copy to the "bin" folder of Universal Customizer. Then run the tool, following the instructions.

Tested on: 4gb Sandisk Cruzer U3

I got my Kon-Boot USB to work by editing the syslinux.cfg. Details here:

I bought a dell x300 latitude and it doesn't come with a CDROM or DVD, the Optical is in the Docking station. Although this makes for a light computer if you don't have a dock, installing windows can be a pain to say the least.

Here is how I got around the problem, it isn't very clean, but it worked.

Create a USB bootable flash disk and copy the Windows 98SE installation files to the flash disk.

then boot the computer, fdisk the HDD, Format it, then copy the installation files over to the HDD. Then perform a SYS C: or D: depending on the drive letter that your systems HDD shows up as, pull the USB disk out and run windows setup from the dos prompt of the HDD you just Sys'd. Windows XP is a bit more complicated

But Win9X is a snap

I don't understand very well. Could you explain more detail. I also use U3 Cruzer Sandisk 4Gbytes.
