then blue screen and goes no further ….
I greatly need your help …
Thank you in advance.
Hello,
Booting through Win XP USB is a difficult job but not impossible.
The reason is that XP was created in 2001 and the technique to make a bootable came way after that which was supported by Win XP SP3 and later versions.
It was also available for SP2 but with a hectic process and hardware limitations.
Therefore, the software's to create a bootable USB flash drive aren't for XP but for higher versions such as vista and 7.
Other details can be found on the link.

Insert the Windows XP disc on your CD/DVD ROM and click Browse. Go to the destination path on your computer and choose the CD/DVD ROM drive and click OK.
Click Refresh and if you can see the small arrow on the left, choose the USB key that you will use for booting Windows XP. Choose Fixed and then click Go to start the process. Once it is done, close it.
Windows XP Installation:

Hello dear,
There are many ways to make the USB Stick bootable.
I will give you two methods, and these are 100% foolproof. Just get the Windows 98 CD, or run your computer with DOS.
When the command prompt pops up, attach your USB Stick to the computer, and format it with this command.
Format /s
It will save the system files to your flash while formatting. Then, copy all of the sources of your operating system to this stick and enjoy.
The second method is to use a software.
I suggest you to use the Win to Flash software, that can be downloaded from this link.
I hope it will help you with your problem.
Thanks.
