Create Bootable USB Flash Drive for Windows 7 or Vista Netbook Install

By


This quick video is to demonstrate how one would take the Windows 7 DVD image (ISO) and copy the setup files so that one can install Windows 7 via a USB flash drive. I used this process to install Win 7 on my new Acer Aspire One Netbook. All hardware was detected flawlessly BTW. Very quick. Very pleased.

Where do you get the “Windows 7 DVD image (ISO)”. Or can you create that by creating it in NERO or some DVD to make and ISO of the Win7 DVD

13

i ment to put listdisk without spaces, lol

14

Go into the Command Prompt (make sure you run it as admin). Type in the following without the parenthesis:
Disk Part
List Disk
Select Disk 1 (It should be your USB drive)
Clean

15

Regardless if it’s 32bit (86x) or 64 bit, it will work the same.

16

Hi! But if it is Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit? What should I do?

Im glad if you reply fast as possible!
