Remember that PARTDISK on XP doesn't recognize USB Drives. I'd recommend i.e. MBRWiz

DISKPART, and that's why it says "This tutorial requires a working Windows Vista or Windows 7 installation." in the description.

Oh ye, my mistake
I could make a working XP tutorial if needed and I can figure out the right way

[FinnishSaint]

Umm more info coming...
The older ASUS and especially AsRock MoBos don't support Win7 boot images, you should load it from Vista installation DVD or install vLite and use the boot.bin file from the extracted files.

Old is a relative term. I've installed 7 on several "old" ASUS mainboards and it worked like a charm. I don't really see a reason why it won't work?

Can you make an XP version please

[FinnishSaint]

Yep it's mostly on AsRock.
And don't know why...
