In order for the Windows XP installation to succeed, you must perform the following steps ġ.) To begin an install, select (Stage 1)Ģ.) Upon first reboot, you must select (Stage 2)ģ.) Finally, after (Stage 2) is complete – upon the second reboot, select (Stage 3) to boot the drive where you installed Windows XP. The Windows XP Installation from USB option currently works by booting directly from your XP ISO, hence the YUMI menu entry is created under "Directly Bootable ISOs". Since version 0.0.7.6, YUMI supports Windows XP Install from USB via ISO. As noted on the Yumi website, the install is done in steps. If it does not boot with Yumi I doubt Easy Recovery Essentials would work. I would not bother with Easy Recovery Essentials.
