SOLVED One click ... two click .. bootable usb install

[Xtreme Barton]

seems plenty guides are out there but maybe i slacked on my google search..

tried a couple different ways already and no go ..


i thought i used pendrive long time ago to accomplish this but im not seeing what i need


i have -

8gb usb drive
iso of win 7

what i dont have -

anything else to use as of now

no cd's ... no dvd's ..etc

Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool



That will take the ISO and USB and make them into usable goodness.

^thats gonna be the easiest way.... tho i hate having to install stuff.

So i always use diskpart, and make the partition on the flash drive active, then copy the contents of the win 7 iso over to the flash drive.

Then:

Connect your USB Flash drive then type this in Windows 7/Vista DOS [Windows XP DOS cannot be used for this]:

• diskpart
• list disk
• select disk #
[of USB Flash drive]
• clean
• create partition primary
• select partition 1
• active
• format fs=NTFS quick
• assign
• exit


Now copy all contents of Windows 7 ISO to the USB Flash drive, then reboot and hold F8 (on most systems) to get a boot selection menu from which you can choose to boot from the newly created USB Flash Drive.

Optionally, delete autorun.inf (because autorun.inf files are now routinely intercepted by antivirus software.)

i use UniversalUSBInstaller http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/ just select windows 7 installer from the drop down menu then select your iso and usb drive letter, always worked for me. no installation needed either.
