Stick your USB drive into your test computer and boot to it. You may need to change your boot priority in the BIOS. Some systems have an option to press F12 (or some other key) to bring up a boot menu to boot to your USB drive. The first screen you should see is the Grub4Dos screen. Depending on how fast your system is, you should get to the VistaPE desktop in less than a minute.
Good Luck!

Let me know if there's something confusing. I'll add some additional information later.

I can get to this point. But my computer isn't old enough to have PS2 ports and VistaPEv.12rc1 doesn't seem to support USB keyboard/mouse. Any suggestions?

I see I'm not the only one where lack of USB support has been a roadblock. I hope someone knows the answer and would care to share. I've read a fair amount about "injecting drivers" to a PE install, but I just don't have the time to dedicate to becoming a PE expert for my one little need.

Try using a CD/DVD instead of a USB
