OS install from bootable USB

madcabbage · 2015-07-12 13:18:41

Hi guys, need a bit of help here. I've a usb key which I want to put ISO files for Windows 8 for my new build but I seem to be having trouble creating a bootable usb drive. Our home computer is running XP and I can't seem to find the drive when I use Diskpart-->List Disk. Is it possible to do this on XP?

I would recommend Rufus. It's by far the fastest tool and very straight forward.
