Install Windows 7 from bootable USB stick
You want to be able to boot from a USB stick and install your Windows 7 copy from it?
Here is the solution to how you do it!
You will need:
A USB memory stick. At least 4GB.
A Windows 7 installation disc.
NOTE! This should work with most USB sticks and will be bootable on all computers that has a motherboard that supports booting from a usb device. Most modern motherboards do.
Start by mounting your windows 7 iso or putting it in your dvd drive if it's an actual disc. Also make sure your USB stick is plugged in to your pc.
Then start your command prompt as an administrator. Do this by going to "Start -> All Programs -> Accessories" and right clicking your command prompt to choose "run as administrator".
In the command prompt:
diskpart [enter] list disk [enter]
You should now see a list. Find out which one is your USB device. Mine was number 1.
select disk 1 [enter] (replace 1 with your disc number.) clean [enter] create partition primary [enter] select partition 1 [enter] active [enter] format fs=ntfs [enter] (This will take some time.) assign [enter] exit [enter] e: [enter] (Replace e: with your drive containing the windows 7 disc.) cd boot [enter] bootsect /nt60 i: [enter] (Replace i: with your USB device.)
Now you can exit your command prompt and copy all of your content from your windows 7 installation disc to your USB device.
Good luck.
