I have read the instructions on how to create a bootable USB device. I am running under Windows XP. I am using a 2 gb. USB device. Installation or creation of the device failed within 2 minutes of the completion of the device. Any ideas on how to complete?
or is there an alternative way to create the device?
thanks

What do mean by "failed"?
The more specific details you're willing to give, the better we can help you.
If you're afraid of taking any chances then the chances are great that you will never learn anything

Use the UBUSB.EXE found in the UBCD4Win folder itself instead... see http://www.ubcd4win.com/...showtopic=11375 for the thread discussing it.
Plan A is always more effective when the device you are working on understands that Plan B involves either a large hammer or screwdriver....

What can't be copied, I don't know.
