| If your having it boot of the USB flash drive doesn't the Vista install start like usually. Why would it be in dos i am not familiar with this process but how did you learn how do do this, and how come you do not know how to proceed. Have you ever did this procedure before. I guess i am not much help the search on the web I did just says boot from the USB flash and proceed as normal install didn't go into any other detail.Here is a link to the procedure I found Kurt Shintaku's Blog: HOWTO: Install Windows Vista from a high speed USB 2.0 Flash Drive
