Create and Install Windows 7 from USB
I know there are multiple ways to get this done and the internet is full of resources that will teach you how to do it but I am making this entry so that I know where to come back to whenever I have to create a new Windows 7 Bootable USB.
- Open the command prompt in “administrator mode”
- DISKPART
- LIST DISK
- SELECT DISK 1 (here disk 1 is the name of the USB drive)
- CLEAN
- CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY
- SELECT PARTITION 1
- ACTIVE
- FORMAT FS=NTFS
- ASSIGN
- EXIT
- Using the command prompt only navigate to the Windows DVD or the Windows ISO
- Navigate into the Boot folder
- D:/BOOT/BOOTSECT.EXE /NT60 U:
- Copy the content of the DVD on to the USB
And you are done :)
