And sorry b4 i 4qet ur flash gs must be 4gs upward, lol, ok let go,
and don't forget u musn't av any files in ur flash b4 copin that window files, meanin ur flash must be empty!!

This tutorial doesn't apply on all cases, simply copying the installation files to the flash and booting from flash doesn't work on all cases. You will need a live disk installer such as RUFUS for such.

Also, pcs make use of esc, f12,f10 etc to boot into bios from which you can set your boot source. Some don't even support booting from usb. Get your facts right before making a tutorial please.

Finally installing an os doesn't mean you have to format your hard drive, you can always install an os and your files will be just as they are... Safe. Formatting your hard drive before installing an os is just something people came up with as a way to completely eliminate a malware, it doesn't mean you always have to format your hd before you can install your os. You can even dual boot os, you can have win 7,win 8,win 10 all running on the same hard drive provided you have the space.

Pls kindly guide me concerning how I can use WINDOW XP to repair my OS instead of formatting it. I don't want to lose some information/files. Thanks!

Thanks but I have tried this. It didn't work. It was telling me to put console software. Is there anyway I can try? Thanks.

Instead of choosing repair, just install the os ordinarily without formating the hard drive.

Just because it worked for you doesn't mean it will work for everyone. A good tutorial should be made with that in mind.

My problem with most of you online is how you can easily insult anybody you see. Guy, the fact you tried it on one system and it worked doesn't mean it will work on all systems! Before you generalize, you must have tested and verified it on quite a number of products cos every product has its own configuration!!!
