Today I finally received a new laptop (HP Elitebook 8760W) which is on the Citrix XenClient HCL. Due to a ‘small’ primary SSD disk (160GB) I exchanged the cd-rom device for a additional harddisk, to store additional virtual machines. Without the cd-rom drive I had to install Citrix XenClient 2.1 with a bootable USB Key. Creating a bootable USB Key was pretty straight forward:

  • Download Universal USB Installer
  • Download Citrix XenClient 2.1 ISO
  • Start Universal USB Installer
    • Step 1: Try Unlisted Linux ISO (New Syslinux)
    • Step 2: Select the XenClient ISO
    • Step 3: Select your USB Key
    • Step 4: Select Format Drive
    • Step 5: Hit Create !
