How can I bootup windows XP from a USB hard drive.
Computers are the wave of the future.
I do not think you can. If it was possible, than no one would be required to buy the program and instead could just upload it from someone else's USB drive.
no boot on us has been disabled by microsoft for xp. computerwhiz has it right its a licensing issue. although i have to say that for 99% of people the activation key is more than enough. i wish you could boot from a usb drive it would make many data recovery missions a lot more ez but linux works well for that.
