Install Server 2003 from USB

Solution 1

I just did this last week using wintoflash. I didn't have an install cd or ISO, just a network share with all the setup files. Worked well enough to get the installation up and running, but I had to hunt down the cd2 files on the network in order to install the "extra components".

Solution 2

You'll find a nice tutorial here on how to put the install of Windows Server 2003 (and 2000, Server 2000 and XP) on a USB drive.

    Doesn't work for a few operating systems, notably Windows Server 2003.
