[c627627]

Does anyone know of good freeware for Windows XP since MBRWizard appears to only be a free trial.

I found this one

Any other/better ones for Windows XP?

Thank you for this, I did this before but it took about 5 forums to find all of the steps!

Question, anyone have any idea how to do this in reverse? I've come across many old laptops that can't boot off a USB, and it's a PTIA to gave to dig up a disk. I can easily copy the files and burn, but can't figure out how to copy the boot sector.

What are you trying to do, create a boot DVD?

 

[Knufire]

Yep, make a Windows instillation disk from a blank DVD off the flash drive that I made following this guide.

Oh. OK

Really sorry for answering that late, I've been having some personal problems and I wasn't on the PC that much.
Do you still need help on doing this, if yes I can provide a step by step guide.

Small EDIT:
MBRWiz is now available for free (no trials and etc) from the official website.
The GUI version of it is still paid ($6,99), but the command line one is completely free.

Thanks for providing this guide. I can never remember all of the steps to do this when I need to.

Most useful!

Really glad to see it helped someone.
Anyways, it turned out my way is extremely hard compared to what some other guys suggested here.
I've added their ways of doing it to the main post too, hope it simplified the process.
