Re: How to boot XPe SP1 from a USB flash drive?

Russ,
Booting from USB is one of the new features we recently released in Feature
Pack 2007. So you will have to upgrade to SP2 and FP2007 to get this
functionality in a supported manner. Please take a look @

Hi, thus far I've thrown my XPE images on a hard drive and everything has
worked fine. With the decrease in price of USB flash drives however, I
want to try booting of one of these usb drives.

I threw my image onto the usb flash drive, my embedded hardware has the
ability to select the USB drive as the one to boot from in the BIOS. When
it comes time to boot nothing happens. It thinks that there isn't a valid
boot image or something.

So I was wondering, is it possible to boot off a USB flash drive using XPE
SP1?

If so, what do I need to change in my image in TD to do it, if anything?

How do I make the USB flash drive have bootable?

Thanks,
RussR
