Default Re: Installing Windows 7 From USB Stick

Hi, when I try to run command prompt as Administrator (Right Click>Run As>Administrator)
It says the service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it.




Im using XP Professional SP3

EDIT: Ok, I got diskpart to work, but it doesn't show my flash drive. Any help?

Oh ok.
But don't worry, I won't need the XP guide, I got it installed by mounting it and running it
