How to make a windows 7 bootable usb OS easy ;@)

This is how I just made a windows7 bootable usp pen easy and simple tut.


If your running on xp and making this boot pen you have to install this API V2 file from windows, then just follow the instructions below. View attachment WindowsXP-KB932716-v2-x86-ENU.rar


Creating the Bootable USB

Open My Computer, right-click on your USB or external drive, and proceed to format with the default settings

Download and install the Microsoft Windows USB Tool from this link:

Click the Windows Start button, and click WINDOWS 7 USB/DVD DOWNLOAD TOOL in the ALL PROGRAMS list to open the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool.

In the SOURCE FILE box, type the name and path of your Windows 7 ISO file, or click BROWSE and select the file from the OPEN dialog box. Click NEXT.

Select USB DEVICE to create a copy on a USB flash drive and then select your USB device in the drop-down list and click BEGIN COPYING.




Installing Windows Vista/7 from USB

Restart your computer, making sure that the USB is plugged into your PC.
Right when your PC turns on, you will need to configure it to boot from the USB drive.

Depending on your manufacturer, this may be possible directly from the splash screen that first shows up by pressing "F8" or "F12" (depending on your PC manufacturer) to open what may be called a "boot selection menu." If you don't have this option, you'll need to enter the BIOS setup and configure your boot device priority --- you'll have to refer to your motherboard's manual for the details, but it's usually accomplished by pressing "Esc", "Enter", "Del", or "F2" to enter the BIOS setup page, and then searching for "BOOT Options" or a similar listing.

Save the BIOS options (if needed), and proceed to boot your PC. You'll see a message to "Press any key to boot into Windows setup" at which point you should press something for setup to begin.

Good luck!

Yes mate that,s why i made it to put windows7 on my sisters tablet as it has no disk tray ?

Ive also just used it to do a HP note book and it works a treat.

Im cracking on with her tablet when she drops it off in the morning so I will post the results here ;@0 its all good I hope fingers crossed.

If your ISO image is over 4GB you will need to format your usb pen to NTFS not a problem just follow this 1 minute tut.

NTFS.com Format USB Flash Drive to NTFS file system.

Heres a great usb formatt tool If you have a dodgy microcard which wont formatt to NTFS Panasonic SD Formatter 3.0 download on FileTrip.net - FileTrip

i have tried this before didn,t work for me

just a question ..what size memory stick is needed to do this ??

once formatted, i'm not sure if a 4GB will work - i use an 8GB

I put windows 7 ultimate Light on a hp note book straight away with a 4gb usb pen because the windows file was only approx 3GB.

You will need a larger usb pen formatted to NFTS to boot most windows7 iSOs though as there normally 4.3 GB and fat32 only supports files upto 4GB

@ RAT ive just put windows7 on a small samsung NC10 but some of the drivers are not available for windows 7 so Im looking for comptible drivers mmmmm headache. So before you start with your notepad make sure you find all the drivers you need. lol GOOD LUCK

Oh yessss, cheers m8 I have been looking at the wrong site, it only had xp drivers available, now Im rocking ive fixed 3 laptops today with fresh Installs Ive been on a mission ) Once you get rid of the HP/DELL/Sammy etc Logos and custom settings and the crap that comes with a new computer the run a lot faster.


For anyone that needs to back up there drivers before the do a fresh install heres a good little proggy View attachment Double Driver.zip[
