Same applies for trying to install XP off a USB key

Both vista and xp copies over hidden files as long as they are in a visable directory. Only hidden files on the root are missed copying the I386 file copies everything including any hidden files

As I said I just copied the contents of the Office 2003 cd to flash drive and it installs no problem. There are no hidden files on the root of my Office cd
