Lately the number of users who prefer to (re) install the operating system preferred on a USB-stick bootabil increased a lot, first of all because the number of users of Netbooks/mini-laptops (They are not provided with unity CD/DVD-ROM, instead they have at least one port USB), but especially due to the fact that the installation is done much faster than on CD or DVD. In addition USB-stick It occupies less space and is much easier to transport, more resistant and can be reused at any time.
For users who are fans so much Windows XP as well Windows 7, or who have not yet decided to completely give up a OS In favor of the other (and vice versa: D), the most appropriate solution would be to create a USB stick multi-bootabil which contains the installation files of both systems (to those who want to create an USB-NICK BOOTABIL WITH XP or just with Windows 7 We recommend that they go here or here). The following combinations can also be chosen: XP-Vista, 2000-Vista, 2000-7.
