In the old days, Windows server 2003 and XP don't install with just a XCOPY command.

I was using USB stick to install virtually all Windows system with a technology called "USB disk mass production tool".

This kind of tool could flash an ISO file into your USB stick and turn it into a "USB CD/DVD rom". No kidding. Your Windows system will treat it exactly like a USB CD/DVD rom. This is fantastic.

After I have command such a tool for my USB stick, I dismounted all the DVD/CD ROM/RW from all my machines.
