csmart 472 Report post Posted April 9, 2011 (edited) How to install windows 7 from USB? its easy and very simple. You not need any software or expertise. a simple utility, win7 DVD and little knowledge of using computer. you do not need HP utility that was earlier required to make USB drive bootable or any 3rd party software. please make sure you have following items before proceeding: 1. Windows7 installer (bootable) DVD through which you are currently installing windows. 2. min 4GB USB drive. it works on any external USB drive of any capacity. BACKUP DATA FROM THE USB DRIVE B4 PROCEEDING. THE DRIVE WILL BE FORMATTED & DATA WILL BE LOST. 3. Diskpart utility from Microsoft. If you are using windows7, it is inbuilt. for others, Download directly from here.. Steps to make your USB drive bootable 1. install and run diskpart that you downloaded from above step 3. For win7, open command prompt and type "diskpart" (without quotes) and press enter. when diskpart is started follow these steps 2. List Disk (it will show all the disks on your PC - including hdd and USBs) 3. Select Disk 1 (Replace 1 with number reflecting your USB Drive. no shown from step 2) 4. clean (this command will delete everything from your disk) 5. creat partition primary 6. active 7. format fs=fat32 quick (here we are formating drive with FAT32 files system and quick. qucik is faster and advisable) 8. assign Letter=F (this will assign drive letter 'F' to your drive. you can assign any free drive letter). 9. copy your entire win7 DVD to USB drive. 10. connect USB drive to PC on which you want to install win7 and boot it through USB. I am using this method for quite some time and its working fine. no problem at all. this is very useful for netbooks where you do not have optical drive. It can be used on any PC/laptop that meets hardware requirements of win7. It is much faster from installing through DVD. My engineer has made 1 USB pen drive active and just load win7 files whenever he need to install win7. otherwise, he uses it as normal pen drive with active partition. Mods/Admin: i had searched whether anybody has posted this before or not. i could not find it, however it is already there, you can delete this post.
