    For those of you who have trouble with the drive letter being wrong, you should reboot after you repartition and reformat the hard drive, and restart the USB setup process. it will then see the internal hard drive as C, and the install can proceed like normal.

    I recommend XP Corporate with generated key and HOSTS file fix to pass windows Genuine Advantage. You can integrate both into your USB installation media.

    I already have the key.... no need to bypass WGA.
