That's the one I used. Worked OK for me. But if you're already using that one why do you need another?

^just download another one. Most windows ISO out there now are bootable when burnt onto the disc.
Back on topic, I never got winxp to boot successfully on a usb stick before.

The reason why i was asking is on some of the blogs it seems like people are having issues so I thought I might try another program just in case but it sounds like this program works fine.

As long as there's a proper MBR on the flash key, I usually just mount the ISO, and use XCOPY with /E /Q /H switches to copy everything over from the image to the flash.
