How To: Install Windows 7/Vista From USB Drive [Detailed 100% Working Guide]

This guide works 100% for Vista & Windows 7 unlike most of the guides out there. I

have seen many sites/blogs that have Install Vista from USB guide but either withincomplete steps or not working guide. I have also seen some guides that dont use

proper commands in this guide. After spending many hours I have come up with this100% working guide.

I just did this method on one of my friends machine and installed the new Windows 7BETA. The main advantage is that by using USB drive you will be able to install

Windows 7/Vista in just 15 minutes. You can also use this bootable USB drive onfriends computer who doesnt have a DVD optical drive.

The method is very simple and you can use without any hassles. Needless to say that your

motherboard should support USB Boot feature to make use of the bootable USB drive.

Requirements:

*USB Flash Drive (Minimum 4GB)

*Windows 7 or Vista installation files.

Follow the below steps to create bootable Windows 7/Vista USB drive using which youcan install Windows 7/Vista easily.

1. Plug-in your USB flash drive to USB port and move all the contents from USB drive to

a safe location on your system.

2. Open Command Prompt with admin rights. Use any of the below methods to openCommand Prompt with admin rights.

*Type cmd in Start menu search box and hit Ctrl+ Shift+ Enter.

Or

*Go to Start menu > All programs > Accessories, right click on Command Prompt and

select Run as administrator.

3. You need to know about the USB drive a little bit. Type in the following commands inthe command prompt:

First type DISKPART and hit enter to see the below message.

Next type LIST DISKcommand and note down the Disk number (ex: Disk 1) of your

USB flash drive. In the below screenshot my Flash Drive Disk no is Disk 1.

4. Next type all the below commands one by one. Here I assume that your disk drive no isDisk 1.If you have Disk 2 as your USB flash drive then use Disk 2.Refer the above

step to confirm it.

So below are the commands you need to type and execute one by one:

SELECT DISK 1

CLEAN

CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY

SELECT PARTITION 1

ACTIVE

FORMAT FS=NTFS

(Format process may take few seconds)

ASSIGN

EXIT

Dont close the command prompt as we need to execute one more command at the nextstep. Just minimize it.

5. Next insert your Windows7/Vista DVD into the optical drive and check the drive letterof the DVD drive. In this guide I will assume that your DVD drive letter is D and USB

drive letter is H (open my computer to know about it).

6. Maximize the minimized Command Prompt in the 4th step.Type the following

command now:

D: CD BOOT and hit enter.Where D is your DVD drive letter.

CD BOOT and hit enter to see the below message.

7. Type another command given below to update the USB drive with BOOTMGR

compatible code.

Where H is your USB drive letter. Once you enter the above command you will see the

below message.

8. Copy your Windows 7/Vista DVD contents to the USB flash drive.

9. Your USB drive is ready to boot and install Windows 7/Vista. Only thing you need tochange the boot priority at the BIOS to USB from the HDD or CD ROM drive. I wont

explain it as its just the matter the changing the boot priority or enabling the USB boot

option in the BIOS.

Note: If you are not able to boot after following this guide means you havent set theBIOS priority to USB. If you got any problem in following this guide feel free to ask

questions by leaving comment.

Tips RSS Feed

Subscribe to the TechNet Magazine Tips RSS feed.

Putting the Windows 7 installation on a USB thumb drive has a few advantagesa small

USB key is much more convenient for carrying around than a DVD, the OS will actuallyinstall much faster, and you can use a USB key to install Windows 7 on systems that do

not have a DVD drive, such as a netbook. In fact, you can even install Windows 7 on

netbooks that have fairly modest hardware. Dennis Chung, an IT Pro Evangelist atMicrosoft recently posted a video demonstrating how easy it is to prepare your thumb

drive and use it to install Windows 7. Heres a quick look at the process:

First, youll need the DiskPart utility on the system you will use to prep the thumbdrive. This is a free disk partitioning utility that is likely already installed on your

Windows system. If not, you can download DiskPart here.

Launch the DiskPart utility by typing diskpart at the Start Menu.

Then run the list diskcommand to check the status of your drive.

Dennis Chung, an IT Pro Evangelist at Microsoft, demonstrates how easy it is to

prepare a USB thumb drive and use it to install Windows 7.

Now run select disk 1 where the "1" is actually the corresponding number of yourUSB drive.

Run clean.

Once the thumb drive is clean, you can run create partition primary.

Now make the partition active by entering active Then you need to set up the file system as Fat32 by running format fs=fat32

quick(quick, of course, specifies that you want to perform a quick format to

speed up the process).

Entering the assign command gives the USB drive a drive letter, making it easy to

access from Windows Explorer

Then you can copy everything from the Windows 7 installation DVD onto theUSB key (a simple drag and drop will do).

Now you can insert the thumb drive into the system you want to install Windows

7 onto and boot the system. The installation will now proceed as usualbutfaster.

. Format Your USB Key

Plug in your USB key and back up any existing data stored on it. Youll need to format

the key before you can make it a bootable device.

Open up a Command Prompt as an Administrator. You can do this by finding the

cmd.exe in yoru Windows/System32 folder, right-clicking the executable, and selecting

Run as Administrator. Alternatively, type CMD in the Start Menu search field and

activate the Command Prompt using Ctrl + Shift + Enter.


10/14

You should be under c:\Windows\system32 (assuming your Windows partition is the Cdrive). Type diskpart in the command line to enter the Disk Partition command line

tool, which lets you format and create partitions on active disks.

Type list disk to reveal a list of all your active disks, each of which is associated with a

number. Make a note of which one is your USB key, based on the capacity. In ourscreenshot below, our USB drive is Disk 6 (8GB).


11/14

Next, type the following commands, one at a time:

Select Disk # (Where # is the number of your USB disk. We typed Select Disk 6)

Clean (removes any existing partitions from the USB disk, including any hidden sectors)

Create Partition Primary (Creates a new primary partition with default parameters)

Select Partition 1 (Focus on the newly created partition)

Active (Sets the in-focus partition to active, informing the disk firmware that this is a

valid system partition)

Format FS=NTFS (Formats the partition with the NTFS file system. This may takeseveral minutes to complete, depending on the size of your USB key.)

Assign (Gives the USB drive a Windows volume and next available drive letter, which

you should write down. In our case, drive L was assigned.)

Exit (Quits the DiskPart tool)

Turn the USB Key into a Bootable Device

Insert the Windows 7 install DVD into your drive, and view the files that it contains.

Copy all of the files here to a folder on your Desktop. We put the disc contents in a folder

named Windows 7

Go back to your command prompt, running it as an Administrator. Using the CDcommand, find your way to the folder where you extracted the ISO files. Your command

line path should look something like C:\Users\USERNAMEHERE\Desktop\Windows

7\.

Type the following commands:

13/14

CD Boot (This gets you into the boot directory)

Bootsect.exe /nt60 L: (where L is the drive letter assigned to your USB key from the

previous step)

Bootsect infuses boot manager compatible code into your USB key to make it a bootable

device.

IMPORTANT: If youre currently running 32-bit Windows Vista or 7, Bootsect will

only work if you use the files from the 32-bit Windows 7 install disc. The Bootsect

executable from the 64-bit version will not run in 32-bit Vista.

3. Load the USB Key Up with the Install Files

Copy all of the extracted ISO files into the USB drive. You dont need to do this from the

command prompt. Just drag and drop the files from the Windows 7 folder into the driveusing Windows Explorer.

14/14

Your USB key is now all ready to go! Plug it into your target system and make sure you

enter the BIOS (typically with F2 or F12) to temporarily change the boot order to allow

booting from the USB key before your primary hard drive or optical drive. On the nextrestart, your system should automatically begin speedily loading setup files off of the

USB key and entering Windows 7 installation.
