Cfadisk Usb Driver X64

Hi, I have recently been interested in installing windows xp to either an SD card or a USB flash drive. Over the last week I have been researching how to install windows xp FROM a usb stick following this guide () and how to make a removable USB device fixed using Hitachi Microdrive filter drivers (download ). But ultimately I want to follow this guide() but without having to do the clone operation.

My question is based on the above background reading:- How can I integrate the hitachi microdrive filter drivers so I can install directly to a SD card or usb flash/hard drive? I suspect the driver integration will be the easiest part, with your help of course, but the tuning of the string I need to use with the modified filter driver will be the hard part, if it is at all possible to get a usb device recognised at the start of a xp installation for use as the primary drive. I have both a computer that will boot from usb flash drives and a flash drive that can be booted from using the following guide () Thanks for taking a look. MATT EDIT I have seen that I can integrate drivers using nlite after installing it just now, but I would like to know if this caters for text mode (f6 driver floppy) situation that I now think is needed to get a usb drive to be the primary install target device.

9.You need to then Hit Start go to run, and type regedit. Ufs hwk suite setup. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SYSTEM ControlSet001 Enum USBSTOR Inside that you should find a directory called something like Disk&Ven_USB2.0&Prod_CardReader_SD0&Rev_0100. Inside that you should find another directory wich is just a bunch of numbers. In the right pane you should see a key called “Hardware ID” Right click on it, and select modify.

It should list about 7 lines of text. Copy ONLY the first line to the clipboard. Hit cancel, close regedit. 10.Open cfadisk.inf in the directory you unzipped the microdrive filter to. Edit the section called [cfadisk_device] so that rather than containing 11 lines, just have one line. The line begins with:%MicroDrive_devdesc% = cfadisk_install, After the comma, hit ctrl V to paste what you coppied from the registry into the file then save the file.

Does anyone know what I can place inside the cfadisk.inf to cater for *ANY* usb/sd drive? Are there any generic strings I can replace the guides example of Disk&Ven_USB2.0&Prod_CardReader_SD0&Rev_0100 with?

I have seen your name around here on many of the good reading topics and see you are well respected. I dont mean any disrespect quoting the other guides, those are just some that I found looking for eeepc related material as this has stemmed from my dad wanting windowsxp as an option for his eeepc. I am only testing in VirtualBox at the moment. One thing I am still wondering after reading all these guides is why we still have to install to a hard drive first and then copy to a usb stick?

I thought it would be possible to create some hacked drivers for use in the txtsetup portion of the installer which would allow the usb device to be seen and used as the target for installation. Gulliver mod 1710. Could you please give me a technical description of why this is not possible. Could you please give me a technical description of why this is not possible. Not because I'm particularly unhelpful but because there is no 'need' to install on hard disk first and then copy to USB stick. Still I have not clear what you are attempting to do. Choose one: 1) Install FROM USB stick 2) Install TO USB stick 3) Install TO 'Generic' SDCard 4) Install TO eeePC internal drive 1) and 4) can be made with the linked apps in the Install XP from USB 2) and 3) can be made with the referenced guides or with the usboot.org program (for USB sticks) None of this need an install on hard disk - only SOME of Dietmar's Tutorials needed installing and copying the system, whilst some install directly to USB,check them in Dietmar's signature: jaclaz.
