簡介 － 從USB裝置上安裝及啟動Windows XP
關於
微軟曾聲明Windows無法在USB裝置上啟動運行。
參閱下文
問：若設定USB儲存裝置為主要(及唯一)的，那USB儲存裝置能否作儲存媒介呢？
答：不能，在一般的系統是無法以USB儲存裝置作為主要(及唯一)的硬碟裝置
節錄自微軟新閒組
Windows是無法由USB裝置上啟動。如果你的電腦支援USB裝置啟動，你便能通過boot loader由USB裝置上啟動Windows XP。
Anyway, the web is full of those. I was wondering about the same thing, as i did not want to put a Windows partition on my Linux.based work laptop, and thought it was a good idea to run Windows XP off a USB Hard drive that i just plug in when i need it, and boot from it. To put a long story short, this is exactly what i do now, thanks to the fantastic research of the people credited below. However, it took me significant time to figure out all the painful little problems, and i was not fully happy with the current official guide by Dietmar (no pun, he was the first to make ANYthing public). I wanted an easy guide that allows creating a modified version of the Windows XP CD, for painless and transparent installation to as many systems as you want.
此網站均討論Windows的問題。因為我本身使用Linux，不想把一部分作Windows之用，故想到通過USB硬硬來運行Windows XP，當我需要使用時才連接。(以下略;em28; )

...must go to the people that made this guide possible in the first place. In recent months, a few blokes going by the handles of mkiaer, Dietmar and sisal and a few others from the 911.net forums came up with many good pieces of research on how to enable any NT-based Windows to boot from a USB-drive. Little of this guide would exist without them - in fact the only reason why i write this up is that my particular solution seems to be lower effort than any of the steps i saw before. Many of the steps here are the result of their research.
Version History:
* v1.0 - 3rd Mar 2006
rewritten, tested and working against two different drives with my laptop.
* v0.9 - 29th Feb 2006
initial version, untested
What works?
Basically, everything as far as i can see. After completing this tutorial, your Windows XP install should directly boot off your USB-drive, and be fully upgradable, DirectX games will run, all apps i tested work like normal, speed is the same as with a real HDD (you need USB2 though) - so it is in fact a fine solution as far as i can see.
Disclaimer
This is a hobby project of mine. I will not assume ANY responsibility for the correctness of this guide, nor can I be made liable for any errors, hardware or software problems / loss that are caused by following this guide. Basically, if things screw up, its your own fault. Do not follow the guide if you fear data loss.
Requirements
* An existing Windows install for carrying out the steps in this tutorial
* A USB2-compliant Hard disk drive (or a big USB2 stick, see remarks below)
* An original Windows XP CD (tested only against SP1 so far, but reported to work on other versions)
* A registered version of WinISO (or any other software that allows direct editing of ISO files)
* The Microsoft CAB SDK
* A CD-burning software that can handle ISO files. I like the free burnatonce
