  1. Hello, i have having trouble using your product, i am try to get it to boot windows 8/7/vista/XpPro/XpHome but not quite sure how to do that, can you help me please?

  2. I attempted to use the winsetupfromusb utility and have hit an error. It says “could not install Grub4dos MBA…aborting”. Probably a simple thing,but not obvious to me and I don’t want to mess up anything. Thanks in advance for helping.

    • Most likely it’s partitioned in weird way.Use the auto-format option and try again. If still having issues upload the log file in program directory and upload it to pastebin.com or datafilehost.com

      • You were absolutely correct. Previously, I had ‘formatted’ the USB with the windows process. After your comment, I selected the quick format on the winsetupfromusb program screen, and it worked like a champ. I probably missed it, but I don’t see screenshots or text instructions on how to boot and use the USB for OS installation. Thanks!

  3. my USB Drive formated ok but while copying xp seutup file… i m geting error “the type must of “object”…” while copying win xp setup files… what is the solution??

    • Seems like a bug which has to be taken care of.
      Can you put in a zip archive WinSetupFromUSB.log and all previous log files (data-time stamped cab archives) found in backups directory and upload it to datafilehost.com?

  6. Hi,

    I have recently used WinSetupFromUSB to create a MultiBoot loader and it is working fine.
    Whilst the USB is connected to my Latptop and I do the following:

    1. reboot and keep pressing F12 (Windows 7) to get into windows 7 Boot menu,
    2. I select the USB stick from the Boot up menu and press return
    3. Next I am presented with an intermediatory menu show below:
    Please choose from menu
    F1: Continue boot to Grob4dos(default),
    F2: Launch PLOP Boot manager

    4. After about 5 seconds it shows the Grub menu (this what I want).

    My questions are the following:
    1. Why is the intermediatory menu shown?
    2. Since I do not want to remove the PLOP menu, how can I reduce this dealy of approximately 5 seconds to 1 second so that this menu only flashes on to the screen and then disappear?

    Please advise as soon as possible.

    Regards

    • Default timeout for the first, FBinst menu, is 3 seconds. On some systems those 3 seconds are actually less, menu can be barely seen, on others are more, depends on the BIOS.
      3 seconds seemed to be the golden middle between fast and slow BIOSes so user can see and use the menu and not show it for too long at the same time.
      Why it’s needed- some systems recognize USB flash disks as superfloppy, making XP setup impossible and loading PloP first usually helps on those machines.
      Other machines have only USB 1.1 or even USB 1.2 drivers in BIOS. This means horribly slow loading speeds until the operating system USB driver is loaded and took control.

      To reduce timeout- launch FBInstTool and press FBInst menu. Edit the timeout value and press ctrl+s or right click in the window and select Save menu.
      If you need all newly formatted USB disks to have different timeout, edit FB.txt in \files\tools\.

  7. Hi, I want to make a flash boot include windows 7 , Hiren’s CD in partition and some programs in anther partition. How can I do it?

    • Windows out of the box does not support multiple partitions on removable disk, such as most of the USB flash disks, only the first partition is visible.
      Why do you need multiple partitions?
      I can’t offer support for Hiren’s Boot CD here, it’s still warez.
      For Windows 7 there is nothing special you need to do- just add its ISO using the relevant option and press GO, 3-4 mouse clicks in total…

  8. how i can edit options of windows boot manager on my usb?
    i can’t find win 8.1 on menu.lst or vistap.lst
    the problem began when i got an error on first win8.1 iso and i redo the same with
    another iso, i dont know how to remove the first option, it still there..
