In the menu that opens, click the Browse button. Now open the folder where you saved the files from the installation disk image. Select all files and folders and click the Add button. Click the Next button to go to the next step.

Select the Make Bootable USB Flash Disk option. Specify the required USB storage device. Check the box next to the Save data on disk option. You do not need to format the USB stick again. Click the Next button and wait until the creation of your installation stick is complete.

Now safely remove the USB drive. Restart your laptop and open the BIOS menu by pressing the Delete key. Go to the Boot Device Priority menu. Find the First Boot Device item and place the USB-flash drive opposite it. This is necessary to detect the flash drive when starting the laptop.

Now select Save & Exit. After restarting the laptop, the familiar Windows XP installation menu will appear. Please note that the motherboard must support the function of using a USB stick as a boot device.
