I followed the steps correctly but everytime I try to boot the usb I get an error in regards with Syslinux and COM32. I then used a tutorial on this site to make UBCD bootable on a usb flash drive using 'RMPREPUSB'. The picture isn't very clear but it's something about a fatal error and couldn't load a file: This is what I get when a few seconds after I reboot. I rebooted but nothing happens in terms of it recovering the partition table. It found it and selected 'write' and it required me to reboot. UBCD booted onto my netbook and I managed to load up Testdisk and anylase partition table. I made new flash drive to boot 'TestDisk' from 'Parted Magic' from 'UBCD' using 'Universal-USB-Installer-1.8.3.6.exe' to prepare the UBCD iso onto my flash drive. I then booted the XP USB flash drive prepared with flashboot and it said there were no available partitions so I had to use 'FDISK' which is included on the flash drive but I mucked it up and it appears that all my partitions are no gone (windows 7 no longer boots). Beforehand on my netbook, I resized and created a new partition for XP using 'Easy Partition maker' (something like that) and it did that. I used a tool called 'flashboot' to prepare an XP iso to make it boot from a usb flash drive.
#Run testdisk from usb install
I'm a noob when it comes to linux but basically, I've been trying to install windows Xp on my netbook (samsung N150+ dual core model) from usb since it doesn't have a disc drive and I do not have an external dvd drive.
