I'm getting the blue screen of death when I start loading windows from my usb stick. Is this normal? Did I do something wrong?

First I'd like to thank for the tips. I had followed the instructions carefully but one thing really kick my butt is when I set in cmos the hard to 2nd and the flash drive to 1st, the hard drive cannot be detected in boot priority options, the installer smoothly run but when it comes to format the drive it shows only the flash drive and the hard disk is none. I changed the set up in the cmos and make the hard disk as 1st and flash drive at 2nd but in boot priority options it only shows the hard disk, my flash drive not detected so it cannot be boot up from the flash drive.

anyway the asus netbook has sflashtop installed so every time it boot the sflashtop open.

any idea is greatly appreciated

One more comment:

- After installing Lancelhoff driver, USB stick appears in PeToUSB as USB Fixed (rather than USB Removable).

My notes:

- Error 11 in PeToUSB occurs when attempting to format a USB stick larger than 2GB (as noted in PeToUSB release notes). Installed USB LocalDisk drivers from http://www.lancelhoff.com/make-windows-see-any-... to be able to create a 1900 MB partition on a USB stick larger than 2 GB using Win XP Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management > Disk Management.

- Blue screen of death during Win XP setup after the USB stick successfully boots caused by an older image of WinXP. Use a WinXP SP3 image.
