lets say i wanna have just windows xp on usb flash drive with grub4dos

affter copy all windows xp to my flash drive and installing grub4dos

and menu.lst look like this ->

title Load ntldr
root (hd0,0)
chainloader (hd0,0)/ntldr

im getting error 15 file not found

so i changed it to ->

title Load ntldr
root (hd0,0)
chainloader (hd0,0)/i386/ntldr

and then it restart grub again and again

i tried to rename the drive:/grldr to ntldr and drive:/i386/ntldr to ntldrxp

chainloader (hd0,0)/i386/ntldrxp

and run it but same .. loop grub.exe

hope someone can tell me step by step what im doing wrong

thx

XP setup does NOT support USB. You have to cheat setup.
There is no simple answer.
