Hi all,

I had a 256 MB usb key. When I tried ti install Xp on, the
setup told me it needed at least 990MB.
Now I have a 1GB usb key: the setup tells me it needs at
least 1230 !!!!
What's wrong ?
 
One cannot install Windows XP on an USB memory key.
XP requires a minimum of 1.5GB of free space on a conventional
hard drive for proper installation. USB memory keys are designed
as storage devices for files only.
