Making a USB Stick Bootable RHEL5 from iso

[divyashree]

I have RHEL5x86_64 iso,I have windows XP 64 bit OS installed and a 4 GB USB Stick and my optical drive is not working .

I want to install RHEL5 on my system from the USB.

I can do this in a linux system but unfortunately I have no linux system.

How will I do it in windows, as I am not getting any correct application or correct procedure to do this ...

I have tried live-usbcreator,unetbootin,iso2usb .. but none of these are helpful..

Copy bootdisk.img content in USB Chip drive (from RHEL DVD Using Ultra ISO etc) and BOOT from USB
chip drive (Select first boot from USB from BIOS)
Place ISO image of RHEL in USB external HDD.
After boot from USB type command: linux askmethod
When ask for source, use source "Hard drive"
It will ask for the path, so tell the path of RHEL.ISO to Installer located in your USB external HDD.
It will begin Installation.

No its not working bro,the bootdisk.img is not working

How I get it working:

1- use unetbootin ;
2- point to RHEL ISO;
3- after unetbootin finished you can remove the rpm package folder (if you use a big usb key this is not necessary;
4- put the RHEL ISO in the usb key root;
5- boot and choose HARD DISK INSTAL;
6- Select your usb key

ADVICE: pay special attention in grub setup to avoid install it on your usb key.

I hope that it help you
Good Luck
