• From: "Dietmar" • Date: Wed, 26 Oct 2005 05:35:16 −0400 Hi all, here comes complete Tutorial (Version 2) how to do USB boot from any USB device WITH NO NEED of that cracked ntdetect.com I succeed to boot full, normal XP SP1 without any new driver direct (not to RAM) from any USB Medium (USB Stick, USB harddisk) even USB 1.1 or USB 2.0 with 2 motherboards: ASUS P4C800−E Deluxe (Intel) and Siemens D1607 (AMD) It is stable. NOW it is real: XP in pocket Author: Dietmar Stölting, 26. Oktober 2005 dietmar.stoelting@xxxxxxxxxxx Germany Here comes the Tutorial. (Version 2) Believe me, it works! I say this, because dont give up: I am a teacher having holidays and this I will show after my pupils. 1.) Set in Bios boot from USB harddisk and disable hyperthreading. 2.) The fresh XP SP1 has to be installed as first partition with NO other harddrive or USB device together. Floppy, CD or DVD drives can stay. Install XP on a normal harddisk, dont put Intel chipsetdriver or so on it because this generates new drivers, which may not be compatible to USB boot. All those things can be done later. 3.) Set pagefile on fresh XP to disabled. 4.)Then You HAVE TO plug in your USB device, from which you want to start later. Let it be detected from the fresh installed XP. 5.)Here is the copy of the 8 extra registry entries. Load and unload Re: Tutorial how to boot from any USB 1
Re: Tutorial how to boot from any USB hive SYSTEM (of your fresh installed XP) from another working XP, or BartPE or do the changes to the fresh installed XP direct with regedit in commandline. Make a BACKUP of the original hive SYSTEM of the fresh installed XP!

Re: Tutorial how to boot from any USB The "ImagePath" is the path to your driver in HEXCODE and you dont need to change this in your registry. Here are the next 4 complete needed keys in registry which you have to build by yourself, like ( this here is for Western Digital 160BB USB harddrive) [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\CriticalDeviceDataba se\usb#root_hub] "Service"="usbhub" "ClassGUID"="{36FC9E60−C465−11CF−8056−444553540000}" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\CriticalDeviceDataba se\usb#root_hub20] "ClassGUID"="{36FC9E60−C465−11CF−8056−444553540000}" "Service"="usbhub" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\CriticalDeviceDataba se\USB#Vid_1058&Pid_0300] "Service"="usbstor" "ClassGUID"="{36FC9E60−C465−11CF−8056−444553540000}" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\CriticalDeviceDataba se\USBSTOR#DiskWDC_____WD1600BB−00FTA0_15.0] "ClassGUID"="{4D36E967−E325−11CE−BFC1−08002BE10318}" "Service"="disk" The first and the second COMPLETE key here have to be written AS THEY ARE with NO modification to registry of your fresh XP (use copy and paste). The third and the fourth key is the special Vid_&Pid_ name of your USB device and the hardwareID of your USB device. Service and ClassGUID write ALWAYS AS THEY ARE HERE to registry of fresh XP. The Vid_&Pid_ name (in the third entry) of your USB device can be found in ControlSet001\Enum\USB , if you have let detected the fresh XP YOUR USB device . Syntax: Vid_abcd&Pid_efgh where abcd and efgh are 4 numbers for your USB device. The rest of that key has do be exactly the same as mine. The hardwareID can be found in ControlSet001\Enum\USBSTOR after if you have let the fresh XP your USB device detected. It is the first entry in the key HardwareID but you have to change \ Re: Tutorial how to boot from any USB 3
Re: Tutorial how to boot from any USB against # . The HardwareID is build as USBSTOR#Diskv(8)p(16)r(4) where for v(8)p(16)r(4) you have to put 8 digits (for me WDC_____ ) as the vendor of device 16 digits (for me WD1600BB−00FTA0_ ) for device and 4 digits (for me 15.0 ) for versions number. The complete Registry keys 1 − 8 needs only to be set up ONE TIME to registry. If you wish to put your fresh XP to another USB device, you need NO MORE new entry for that new device! Only let it be detected from your fresh XP on harddisk. After you put this 8 keys to the registry of fresh XP, you must do the following also in the registry of fresh XP: 6.) Delete complete key HKLM\SYSTEM\MountedDevices. 7.) Delete HKLM\SYSTEM\Setup SystemPartition (complete key SystemPartition) . 8.) Go to HKLM\SYSTEM\Services\USBSTOR . Set start=3 back to start=0 .
