How to Create a Windows 7 USB Drive
Installation Med ia:
You should have a 4GB (or larger)
USB drive. Since the steps will clear all your files and data in this USB
drive, you need to backup them
first.
1. In Windows Vista
or Windows 7, open an elevated
command prompt
and run the following commands
one by one:
a. Disk part
b. list disk
You can identify your USB drive
by its size. For example, it is disk 1.
c. Select disk 1
Select your USB drive.
d. Clean
Clear it.
e. Create partition primary
f. Select partition 1
g. Active
Mark this partition as an active
boot partition. This will enable this
USB drive bootable.
h. Format fs=ntfs quick
2. After formatting the USB drive, copy all
the files in the DVD to the
USB drive.
3. Reboot the computer and set it to boot from
USB drive. Then, the
computer will boot from this USB
drive and you can start your
installation with it. Some of
such issues are caused due to the
hardware factor; we can also try
upgrading DVD-ROM firmware to
narrow down the issue.
