Create A Windows Xp Bootable Usb Flash Drive

Small! Fast! Easy to grip and pull out! It makes a great bootable USB drive for Windows 10 installations. I bought 3. The other 2 are now Windows Recovery Sticks.

After I purchased this 16GB USB drive, I have been formatting it with Windows XP's Format, and HP's Flash Storage Tools, so far, no issues. I like the retractable USB plug design, but, on the other hand, worried about the durability of this kind of design. I have had my older Kingston DataTraveler 8GB USB drive with similar retractable design for more than a year, though, a bit loosen, still works.

The San Disk Flash drive works great and is compatible with Windows XP and Windows 7. The file transfer is very fast and the device works like a charm. I have read good reports about SanDisk memory sticks.

Perfect size for bootable flash drive

I bought this Samsung 256GB flash to create a Windows To Go install as an emergency backup for my PC. The host PC has USB 3.2 ports so I am able to achieve the full speed on the Samsung flash drive. It really is nearly as fast as running from a Sata 6 GB/s SSD. Boot and response times are fine. As an alternative, this drive could easily be used for transporting large files between systems. Bottom line is that at the cost being asked for this flash drive, just under $60 at the time of this writing, the speed and size are truly amazing.

I used Carbon Copy Cloner to create a bootable version of my mac on this drive. Now when I travel back to visit my folks, I slip it into my cary on - while I'm there, I simply plug into their mac and boot from this drive giving me access to all of my files and software. No worries about damage to my laptop when I get there, so much less baggage as I navigate from gate to gate. Great product!

I moved o.s. and bootable disk to this drive and now windows starts up in five seconds instead of the 30-40 seconds it was taking with the HDD.

Will not work with Windows 7 XP.

I've been able to connect four Windows PCs (XP, 7, 8.1, 10) to an Epson all-in-one printer. Although my printer is wireless capable, I find USB connectivity more reliable and less frustrating. The packaged software (CD), as well as the included Installation Guide, are antiquated (Windows XP/Vista; Mac OS X) but were still useful for one of my connected PCs. Accessing the product manufacturer's website is required to obtain an up-to-date User Manual and to install applicable drivers for PCs with newer operating systems. This applies to Windows (7, 8.1, 10) and Mac (10.6 and above) with an available USB Type-A port. One 6-foot USB A-B cable is also included. Each of my PCs printed successfully to the one printer as intended.

Windows 7 64 bit has no trouble with the size of this drive. I partitioned this drive using GIUD however XP does not see it.And I'm not sure why? Ortherwise so far so good.
