Hi Help needed. I want to create a USB boot disc. Does anyone know of any software that can do this oh yes Windows XP boot disc.:D thanks
 
Choice 1 (Use GUI program in MS windows):
Download Live USB Helper to help you to create this Live USB flash drive. Just install the program in MS windows, then you can follow the GUI to create the live. PS. To run this Live USB helper program on MS windows, you need a dll file "vb6stkit.dll". If Live USB helper complains about no vb6stkit.dll was found, you can download it on http://www.dll-files.com.

Of course you still need some sort of OS to boot into. Don't know if this will work for Windows mind you :/
 
I use this. Works like a charm with no 3rd party apps needed.

Open a command prompt and execute the following commands to create a partition (explanation in bracket, which should be ignored):
Diskpart (text-mode command interpreter to manage objects such as disks, partitions, or volumes)
list disk (displays a list of disks and information about them)
select disk 1 (assuming the USD key is detected as disk 1 from the list generated by “list disk” command. This setting must be correct or else you may accidentally wipe out the hard disk instead.)
clean (removes any and all partition or volume formatting from the disk with focus)
create partition primary
select partition 1 (the only primary partition created by command above)
active
format fs=fat32 (use FAT32 file system)
assign (assigns a drive letter or mount point to the volume with focus)
exit
