This totally works. I have been trying to boot from USB for two days. This video and software helped saved my pc. I was about to toss it in the trash. Thanks a lots.
Thank you so much, I spent all day trying to convert my pc over to linux with no avail. I had no BIOS or UEFI with my windows 8.1 and this worked like a charm. You saved me from giving up
My PC was Xp in 2005, then windows 7 until now I've downloaded windows 10 pro with USB. 32 bit to 64 bit. Thank you, was having hard time enabling USB to be Bootable from the Bios. This worked great!
Thank you! EasyBCD made it possible for me to use clnpwd from boot usb to override admin PW lock on an Acer Aspire One D270-1375. It allowed me to clear/reset the bios. I now have full control of my netbook again thanks to you. Ebay seller sold it to me locked without disclosing. Grr! ;-)
Hahaha... You solved problems for those GigaByte motherboard who won't boot from USB.. I've been googling for months.. nobody was talking about EasyBCD.. Thanks Danny
Thank you very much for the video. Anyway, none of the solutions worked for me. Unluckily i bought a NEC VersaPro laptopand it accept to boot only from the internal optical drive and from the hard disk. Nothing (till now) that i tried, make it to boot from usb. Sadly. I am another subscriber of yours!!!
Help how do i do this on old Siemens laptop from year 2000 it has touchscreen and has no cd rom but has usb ports but windows 98, 2000 or XP is almost impossible to make boot from usb 1.0 or 1.1 i have no usb 2.0 because in 2000 it was just created.
Hi..you have a beautiful Accent man .. awesome. Well I tried booting my PC via USB through the EasyBCD thing, while booting I got the option for the USB thing and when I clicked it, it showed me this LODING EHCI DRIVER SEARCHING ON HOSTS HOST 1 PORT3 : DEVICE CONNECTE and then nothing happened, my USB is a Bootable USB with windows 7 in it done with RUFUs. And I have used the usb in my laptop for the same, though my Laptop has a usb booting option. So after that all the system freezes and even ctrl+Alt+Del doesn't work and I have to switch it off though the power button. Kindly suggest me, what am I doing wrong. Thanks in Advance.. Cheers Mate
Evan Intoit Hi! I am afraid I can't suggest anything else that just looking for solution in forums. I have not experienced that problem myself. The good thing is that more people had that problem, so you mind find a solution. Check out this page: www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/booting-usb-in-grub-when-bios-does-not-support-it-819890/ forum.plop.at/index.php?topic=1157.0 Let me know if you find a solution. Cheers

Great video! My dang Asrock x579 Extreme4 keeps losing the ability to see flash drives even in the bios and boot menu yet my keyboard and mouse work just fine. Not even my Inateck PCIe to USB 3.0 adapter can see them. Even cleared my CMOS. Any idea how that could happen?
hi @shake the future, i stepped the way shown in the video but after getting to boot from usb option.. it couldn't go further in process.. kindly suggest me the solution.. thanx and regards Geetesh Singh
When I follow your steps, start plop after restarting the computer and select the usb option, it says 'Boot error, no boot device found, retry it' even though the usb stick is plugged in. I've also tried different usb sticks and different usb connectors with the same results. I'm running Windows 7 sp1 64bit, the usbs I tried were Kingston and Transcend. Where's the problem? Thanks.
Man you fucking smart I swear to God I wish I can give you a million like you just fixed a big problem for me thank you my friend I appreciate you I will subscribe to you keep it coming
please help , i've did what u said ,but when i open the plop in usb section it says error and it didnot read my usb although i've conected it and burn it with windows xp installer

hi i have this issue on my computer "boot\bcd" 0x000000098 i want to boot using my usb windows installer to fix but then my laptop ul50vt is not accepting usb on first boot the option there is Removable Device, CD/DVD and HDD options. can anyone help me?
not so easy because XP and prior (simplifying) turned off all usb hubs in the middle of install. The only way I could was to copy install media in an hdd and connect it as a secondary drive vida IDE/SATA connector.
Can anybody confirm if this still work in May 2021? Please I need to know because I'm on a Asus Pn5-D and I've been trying to update this thing from Windows 7 Ultimate to Windows 10 Pro for 2 weeks now. The media creation tool download keeps getting stuck on 30% and my PC won't even let me boot the Flash USB from my Bios so I think I'm just completely stuck at this point.
I was specting asking exactly that. :( Have anyone achieved to boot with some similar method? I have my old amd 1800+xp with 1GB of ram and since my bios is just compatible with booting from a floppy disk or a cd, I haven't been able to update it since ubuntu 14 (the las ubuntu small enought to run in 1 cd)
Very useful. I have this old asus workstation desktop i was using for low end gaming. The bios does not support usb booting. I had bought a new low profile gpu and might of overclocked it a bit too much. MSI afterburner had the option to use selected option when booting, rendering my pc useless. I then tried swaping back to my old ENGTX 260 but the windows files were currupted for a reason or another, and it would not launch. I forced my computer into repair mode and did a factory reset. Windows 10 installer failed at the select region stage and was hard bugged. Restarted 10 times, reseted my bios settings, did everything i could, it wont install. So now im going to install easybcd to my hard drive using another desktop and i will then plug it back in in the old asus, boot windows multimedia creation tool, and fix this bitch lol.
The plop manager that I installed on my presario has caused it not to boot at all, in fact the PC throws a Compaq logo splash screen and then just dies with no error messages #plopmanager #bootfail #compaq
Sorry, I know this video is old, but I need help! I downloaded the Easy BCD, and restarted my computer. I saw the BCD, and clicked on it! Everything went smoothly. I had a USB drive plugged into my computer, with a Kali Linux .ISO on it. I clicked on: Boot from USB. It said it did not find the USB, when it was clearly plugged in. Huh?
This totally works. I have been trying to boot from USB for two days. This video and software helped saved my pc. I was about to toss it in the trash. Thanks a lots.

Install PLoP is grayed out and I cant press it. Not very usefull.
After all these year still top notch tut
Hahaha... You solved problems for those GigaByte motherboard who won't boot from USB.. I've been googling for months.. nobody was talking about EasyBCD.. Thanks Danny
Plop Linux worked wonders!
Easiest and best method by far.
Ty
but I do not have a reader to record the XP program for usb does not work?
Amazing tutorial, you save a lot of time and money to old pc users. ***** :)
It seems that if one installs the 64-bit program the boot is at 64 bits and if the machine is 32 bits it does not work.
Once I'm at the interface at 0:50 when I go to USB and press enter there's an error
My USB is bootable-ready. Bought it today and put Ubuntu there
Thank you! This saved me when formatting an old computer!
*An* old computer
1:11 You are so much fun to work with. You earned a subscriber.
Lol, I love you, I tried to format an old Laptop and ended up breaking it. Thank to this I fixed it

Hello. I have a Tochiba nb305, I managed to install the plop but it freezes at "loading boot sector"
Have the same issue.
I like the way you don't waste our time with a screencast drenched in raunchy music and no commentary.
Thank you very much for the video. Anyway, none of the solutions worked for me. Unluckily i bought a NEC VersaPro laptopand it accept to boot only from the internal optical drive and from the hard disk. Nothing (till now) that i tried, make it to boot from usb. Sadly.

2:57 That ending LOL, :-) :-D 😁😂
Thank you! thank! you real saved me alot with my friend's old machine. you deserve a thumb-up!
Hi..you have a beautiful Accent man .. awesome.
Well I tried booting my PC via USB through the EasyBCD thing, while booting I got the option for the USB thing and when I clicked it, it showed me this
LODING EHCI DRIVER
SEARCHING ON HOSTS
HOST 1
PORT3 : DEVICE CONNECTE
and then nothing happened, my USB is a Bootable USB with windows 7 in it done with RUFUs. And I have used the usb in my laptop for the same, though my Laptop has a usb booting option. So after that all the system freezes and even ctrl+Alt+Del doesn't work and I have to switch it off though the power button.

Yes xp uses BCD so it can be done
