Bootable pen drive for windows XP
Hi,
I would like to learn how to make a pen drive bootable and use it when any version of windows XP crashes. BIOS supports booting from USB device. I would like to carry it along and use it on any XP system when it crashes. Please give me a detailed step by step procedure of how to do it. I want to only repair an existing OS, not re-installing.

The link takes me to a page which seems to be from the era of floppy drives. I want the procedure for windows xp SP2/3 recovery from pen drive. Thanks in advance

I found 6 methods explained on that page and there are links to 4 other methods.

Only the first method used a floppy.
