For creating a bootable USB drive with Windows 2000 or XP

installer we are going to use a utility called

WinSetupFromUSB. Download it from MSFN forums and install

it. You are going to need the Windows 2000/XP installation

disk. If you have an ISO, extract the iso. Enter the path to

Windows 200/XP installer as Source. After this, plugin in

your USB device and format it. You can use the PEtoUSB tool

to format USB drives smaller than 2GB as FAT16 drive.

However I would recommend using HP Format Tool to format

drives as FAT32 or NTFS (recommended). That is all you need

to do to create a basic installer for Windows 2000 and

Windows XP on your pen drive (USB device). Don’t bother

yourself with any of the other settings. Click on GO to

begin the process. WinSetupFromUSB is a fairly advanced tool

and allows to you create multiboot pen drives that can have

Windows Vista, Windows 7 and even Linux installers. If you

want to know more about this utility just read through the

thread at MSFN forums.
