MBR was introduced in and for some time was the only one standard. Choose the type of the file system and the label of the volume. It would probably work for Vista, as Vista uses an image-based setup.

But for WinXP and earlier, it is not possible. Oh, see Thanks Jito. By the way, what is image-based setup? Does it mean that all the files on the CD are copied to the hard disc drive before setting up? By the way number two, how to edit posts here? By "image-based setup", I mean that the installer drops an image of the installation on the HDD, and then setup is run from that. As for your second question, after a set period of time I believe it's 30 minutes , you can no longer edit a post.

Thanks again Jito. Many modern laptops are thin and don't have good old drives, and so do even some personal computers. Well, many producers think that CDs were left in the past century and USB stick can solve all problems. How to install an operating system without an optical drive? The answer is obvious.

Before start, make sure that your USB stick doesn't contain any necessary data, because to make bootable USB , we need to format it first. Everything is ready!
