Have you ever used USB MultiBootVersion 10? This application software is used for creating

the bootable USB-stick.I have recently used this software and found it very interesting and easy

to understand. Today, in this tutorial I will explain the method to create and install Windows XPfrom USBstick by using this amazing software.

Now to create a bootable USBof Windows XPand then install the said Windowsfrom it,follow the instructions given bellow.

1. You will need a special tool to copy the Installation files and make the USB-stick /SDcardbootable. Search it onGoogleand downloadusb_multiboot_10.zip

2. Now after downloading, unpack to any folder. The path to your folder must be simpleand without spaces! (For example:c:\usb_multiboot_10)

3. After that step connect the USB-stick / SD cardto your PC.Note:ALL DATA ON YOUR STICK WILL BE ERASED! Please back up before running

USB_MultiBoot_10.cmd!

4. Run USB_MultiBoot_10.cmdand follow the text description.5. Format utility will apear.6. Here choose NTFSfor 4Gbor more USBflash or choose FAT16for those USBs which

have less than 4GBmemory.7. Now Start format.

diamondsw: Using the HP format option works fine for any capacity, and you can use

FAT32without problems (I used a 4GB stick). This can be useful as more systems can

read FAT32instead of NTFS.

NOTE:If you are doing this from a Vistamachine, you may need to runPeToUSB.exeas adminstratorin order for this program to recognize the jump

drive. (For this reason Right click PeToUSB.exe>> Properties>>

Compatibility>> Run this program as an administrator checked.)

8. Close after finishing.9. Now is time to decide if you want to install the FULL CD,or a nLiteversion.10.Set options 1and 2.Set option 0only if you want to use USB HDDinstead of a USB

stick/ SDcard.

Note:Do not touch other options if you have no idea about it.

11.Choose 3after setting all other options. It will create the image and write it to the USBstick as well as make the USBstick/ SD cardbootable.

12.Answer Yesto all questions that come up (these vary depending on options selected).13.When it finishes copying, remove your USBstick and connect it with the other PCto

install Windows XP.

14.When you turn on that other PC,hold down Esc key to choose the boot device order.

Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool

Overview Installation Usage FAQ Troubleshooting

Overview

When you choose to download most software from the Microsoft Store, you have the option of

using Download Manager or downloading from your browser. However, when you purchaseMicrosoft Windows 7 from Microsoft Store, you have an additional choice to make: whether to

download a collection of compressed files or to download an ISO file. An ISO file combines all

the Windows 7 installation files into a single uncompressed file.

These instructions are for Windows 7 only. If you're looking for instructions about downloadingWindows 8,click here.

If you choose to download an ISO file (so that you can create a bootable file from a DVD orUSB flash drive), copy your Windows 7 ISO file onto your media and, run the Windows 7

USB/DVD Download Tool. After you do this, you can install Windows 7 onto your computer

directly from the USB flash drive or DVD.

NOTE: When you download the ISO file, you mustcopy the file onto a USB flash drive or a

DVD to install Windows 7. When you're ready to install Windows 7, insert the USB flash drive

into your USB port or insert your DVD into your DVD drive, and then run Setup.exe from theroot folder on the drive.

The advantage to following this process and creating bootable media is that it allows you to

install Windows 7 without having to first run an existing operating system on your machine. If

you change the boot order of drives in your computer's BIOS, you can run the Windows 7

installation directly from your USB flash drive or from a DVD when you first turn yourcomputer on. (Please see the documentation for your computer for information about how to

change the BIOS boot order of drives.)

Copies

To install the software, you may make one copy of the ISO file on a disc, USB flashdrive, or other media.

After youve installed the software and accepted the license terms that accompany thesoftware, those license terms apply to your use of the software. The license terms for

Windows 7 permit you to make one copy of the software as a back-up copy for re-installation on the licensed computer. If you do not delete your copy of the ISO file after
