cria o disco de inicialização usb do XP no Vista

Question

Meu netbook (em execução no XP) encontrou recentemente o problema "NTLDR is missing". No entanto, como não tenho um dvd externo, preciso criar um disco de inicialização USB para reinstalar o XP. Infelizmente, meu outro laptop está executando o Vista.

É possível criar um disco de inicialização USB usando o Vista?

Obrigado Erwin

    

Answer 1

Use WinToFlash para preparar uma unidade USB inicializável a partir de qualquer disco de instalação do Windows.

    

Answer 2

Talvez seja mais fácil levar uma distribuição Linux portátil ( tutoriais podem ser encontrados aqui ) e siga estas etapas em Arsgeek.com

Boot into your Ubuntu LiveCD on the offending machine. Once Ubuntu starts up, go to System -> Administration -> Software Sources and enable (by checking it off) the Universal repository.

Now, open a terminal session (Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal) and type the following:

sudo apt-get install ms-sys

ms-sys is a program used to write Microsoft compatible boot records. Now you’ll need to figure out what partition is the one hosting your Windows operating system. Back in the command line, type:

sudo fdisk -l

That will list the available partitions. You’re looking for a partition that says something like

/dev/sda1 1 9327 74919096 83 NTFS

The two important bits are the ‘/dev/sda1‘ which is the partition itself and the ‘NTFS‘ which tells us it’s a Windows formatted partition. So your Windows partition exists on your drive sda and it’s partition 1. The MBR for drive sda (assuming you boot into windows using it’s native boot loader) is what you want to repair. We want to fix the MBR on /dev/sda. To do so, type:

sudo ms-sys -m /dev/sda

You’ll want to change the ’sda’ bit if your results from ‘fdisk -l‘ are different. If for instance your windows install is on sdb or hda. Once you do that, reboot the machine, removing the LiveCD from the drive and Windows should come back to you.
