Here's a forum with tips and advice on how to get tinyXP runnin':

http://www.retestrak.nl/Board/

ps. search for TinyXP rev2

some more info on Tiny XP Rev2:

Thank you for installing this stripped out (170Mb) edition
of XP. The WINDOWS folder for this "TinyXP"
takes up only 420Mb space on your systems hard drive
and Windows TinyXP runs on just 60Mb of RAM. Windows
XP usually uses much more RAM than this.

This version of TinyXP fixes the DHCP issues from the last
version and also Rev02 includes an additional 17 programs
over the last version.

All Included Hotfixes Were Updated On 26th December 2005

99% of the functionality is left remaining in Windows.

All important hardware drivers and other essentials
have been kept in this release - You have joystick
support, printer support and other bare essentials.
"Microsoft SideWinder" support has been left in.

You can use Microsoft Office with this Tiny edition
of Windows XP, because the Jet Database Engine is kept.

You still have MS Paint, Calculator and Wordpad.

You still have XP's games: FreeCell, Hearts,
Minesweeper Solitaire and Spider Solitaire.
Internet games that were included in XP HAVE
been removed in TinyXP.

Internet Explorer has been removed from this edition,
it is GONE! Included is a tiny standalone web browser
(OffByOne or OB1) so you can at least access the internet
to download a good browser like Firefox or Opera, both these
great browsers are FREE and offer more security over Internet
Explorer. The "core" of Internet Explorer HAS been left in
this edition.

The core player "Windows Media Player 6.4" is also kept,
this should play most video files. If you want a really good
and free media player, use "VideoLAN" player, this is not
included in TinyXP because it takes about 20Mb of space but
that is because it plays everything, even DVD's! Just visit...

http://mirrors.ircam.fr/pub/videolan...8.4a-win32.exe

Included with TinyXP is a standalone BitTorrent client, uTorrent. This
amazing BT client is only 130Kb and is packed with functionality.

GONE also are all Windows noises like startup and
shutdown noises, but audio does work. Remember, you
can use Microsoft Office and you DO have support if
you want to install a printer - also included is...

DHCP - Kept! Now your "Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol"
will resolve all dynamic IP's properly (automatically)

ETHERNET LAN DRIVERS - Kept! Now if you have
a LAN card you won't have problems!

FRONTPAGE EXTENSIONS - Kept! Now you can author websites with Frontpage!

JET DATABASE - Kept! Now you can use your beloved Microsoft Office

LAPTOP SUPPORT - Battery Support is kept, laptops are now supported!

MAJOR thanks to eXPerience from the Retestrak forum by the way!
