About Installing Windows XP from USB

I'd like to share my experience with installing Windows XP from USB flashdrive. A few days ago I was asked by my uncle to re-install his notebook with Windows XP. His notebook infected by a virus and many of the system files are badly corrupted.

It was easy, I thought. But, the fact is not easier than I think. When I try install with the usual way (with CD ROM), it fail. Its because the DVD drive is not working. It wont running. What's the matter? I try it several times and I get the same results. Later my uncle tell me that the DVD drive might be broken. Why the hell you did not tell me before uncle?

I try to find another way to install then. Suddenly an idea pop up in my mind. Why I don't try with USB flashdrive? Maybe it can be installed with USB flashdrive. I google it for the way. I get a nice one here. There's a complete explanation on how to install Windows XP in Asus EEE PC and should work for another PC.

The explanation is so clear and straight. I don't find any difficulties with the step by step. You should try to read his post if you find a condition that like me.
