[DJBSIDE07]

[FlossBandit]

[LordGG2]

@FlossBandit ROFL..... awesome joke :DD made the next 10 min of my life happy

[RenewITSolutions]

@LordGG2

HAHAHA! I didn't know what you were talking about and then I read FlossBandit's comment. Yes, it made my next 10 minutes too.

[RatmenKamikadze]

@FlossBandit theres nothing complicated, just type in what he types... atleast i dont have to mess with bunch of stupid programs.

[AIOSkyTech]

[lashuna1028]

Very thorough. Good job

[Nemtaw]

maybe it works maybe not on me lol will see after many hours when my 14 GB USB Flash Drive is done lol.

That fs=fat32 takes long time on my 14 GB drive

[gsimpson2g]

I keep this as a simple reference for when I can't remember the steps to creating a bootable jumpdrive. Has helped me multiple times when the computer I am working on has a a bad Optical drive, or no optical drive at all.

[binhaze]

@gsimpson2g hey im trying to put windows 7 on a flash drive can u tell where i can get the programs to do this

[ShoulderHD]

[mobilemeanbunny]

[dontila]

[xampospro]

lihuoghguoh

[supermegadaddy81]

tyvm this helped me very much on installing win 8

[TheAmazingman96]

I have a little problem, i have Win Vista on my Server computer, but i can't install a new Operating system because the operating system is bugged. I can't even install Ubuntu or boot from a USB (computer can't boot from USB, it have the boot schoose: Removeable Dev.). I have a CD driver, but no bootable cd or emty disks avable. Anyone know how to do then?

[aamirdaniyal]

my usb doesn't show up when i type in List disk... what should i do

[Thechemist29]

@aamirdaniyal

try "quick format" the usb and right click on cmd to run as admin

[Barbaddies]

great easy to use explaination thumbs up



[TheAmazingman96]

can i install Ubuntu 11.10 (linux) in the same way?

[lordoofly]

@TheAmazingman96 Yes. I haven't tried it. But sure does.

[Thechemist29]

@TheAmazingman96

yes you can, also you can make a "live usb" this way if you do not have a hard drive present in the computer ☺

[bassamedic]

the best video ever

[fzvarun]

hack-hour.blogspot.com check this site for bootable usb

[atnih]

hey there, microsoft has created a tool for this (checked and working) search google for: windows 7 usb dvd download tool

[nanaayimda]

@atnih windows 7 usb dvd download tool is indeed the best tool to use for this but it wasn't developed by microsoft, but by an open source group called CODEPLEX

[atnih]

@nanaayimda indeed, thx for highlighting it. Big Up for CODEPLEX

[FaceSTAB411]

3rd time using this tutorial for the command lines. thankyou very much mr video creator.

[TheSkatergirl2]

i have a little problem....when i type exit cmd close...but usb has bootable...what to do PLZZZ answer me...(sorry for grammar i'm from greece)

[maxedout65]

thx!!

[wallace2206]

u r the best..... thank's... this video really helps, before to many tries now I can boot from my flash drive successfully!!!!!

[fizismart1]

Greate Video but here is much more easy way !! plug in your usb open the CMD ( command prompt ) type diskpart then on the new window type list disk select your disk i.e Select X ( where x is your usb its may be 0 or 1 or 2 ) now type clean after that type create partition primary then type format fs=fat32 Quick ( don't forget to type quick ) After formating Type active and then exit !! :D Now Copy all of Your windows files from YOUR WINDOWS 7 DVD to your usb and then you are ready to go !! T.c

[tedchirvasiu]

I really like your voice.

[Duffmanjack]

Great video, easy to follow works perfect. I have my flash drive with all my os back ups on them. I boot from my flash drive it makes it so much easier and faster to install windows.

[rxxxxfxxxxx]

worked great.. dont put 1 or l at the end put the letter u see on your drive.. thanks again

[joernabe]

dont just believe guys.. this is perfect as excellent way to make bootable flash drive... any OS you can just copy paste to your flash drive and install it.. We use this normally for netbooks which doesnt have dvd drives...

[lhakpa32]

I believe it's all waste of time, instead buy a portable cd/DVD Rom drive and you can install windows on any laptop which does not have cd/DVD Rom !!

[lubamanzi]

@lhakpa32 Dude, this is the generation neno technology... the smaller they make our devices, the faster and powerful they get. No one needs to be carring all kinds of devices around when you can just keep all of your tools in your pocket and go about your business. you really need to get out more and you most def need to read about the new and upcoming... i know a 14 year old that is light years ahead of you.

[dirkyboy]

Thanks brotha! Good tutorial.

[jbatista6666]

Thank You

[Daejuan37]

NO THUMB DRIVE can i use a ipod?

[m4tm4txd]

should i install first win7 installer ISO after i reformat my netbook?

[Daejuan37]

@m4tm4txd can u tell me where i can find the command promt?

[dirkyboy]

@Daejuan37 Dont know about an iPod but if you have an external you can partition about 16gb off of that and just treat that secondary partition as if it was the thumb drive. Thats what I did.

[dirkyboy]

@m4tm4txd ummmm.... first of all... what?!?! if you have reformatted your netbook then you would HAVE to install AN operating system. AT LEAST!

but to answer your question, yes.

[m4tm4txd]

it can reformat a netbook? please reply fast. :)))

[BigChineseClock]

@m4tm4txd yeah of course.. just do it the way he says you will need a dvd with the installation of win7/vista, just type the commands, and boot from your USB. You may have to change the boot device from the bios, usually F12 or Delete button before it starts loading windows/linux. Just change it, boot from USB, and select to do a clean install and not an upgrade..

[m4tm4txd]

@BigChineseClock thankyou.

[tinguibol]

If this was your first video? you should be on TV, great job mate! Regards from Montevideo!

[kind2311]

do you have to have the windows iso mounted to the virtual drive BEFORE you copy the bootmanager file to the usb drive in the last step of the process?

[WisdomIce]

@kind2311 well yeah, or else it has nowhere to copy the files from.

[karmaswi]

after installation i used windows to format my drive ntfs...am tryn to copy files to it and its very slow

any solution?

[karmaswi]

this is good resource...works perfect

[ZzZShootedZzZ]

Would this work to install bootcamp on mac, because my cd drive is broken.

[otienoeugene]

it works for ubuntu linux to

[karthik12340]

Thank You...

[SoraLaseraph]

Works perfectly! Used this to install Windows 7 64 bit to a 4 GB flash drive. Then used the flash drive to install Windows 7 to a HP TM2T Laptop. Also, used the fs=ntfs option.

[Jezle5]

YES!!! It works! Thanks alot!

[Daekoni]

Thank you.

[FormatDub]

i didnt do the last bit, the xcopy bit, but instead when i typed assign and my thumbdrive popped up i dragged the everything from the drive that my widows 7 is in into the thumbdrive... would this still work or do i need to do it again?

[THEKACHMANMEDIA]

Very Easy.. Works if you do it the right way first.

[THEKACHMANMEDIA]

Great Video! How Long does it take to reinstall win7 on these note book. Mine takes for Heavens knows how long.. Makes me sick.

[plumbc007]

[Robertdog6789]

It gives me a "Reboot and Select proper Boot device or insert boot Media in selected Boot Device and press a key" after doing video instructions......

[PrebenSellevild]

Ive got the Win7 64 bit, and I want to get it bootable to a 7 gig pin. BUT, I see this is 32 bit !?

What to do ?

[ROGVEZTATVZ]

complicated way but it surely will impress somebody about your formatting skills, I love this way just like I love Linux. Go hard or go home (pun intended).

[fangsea]

i have been trying to make one of these for months now. thanks! screw all those programs out there. this works the best.

[KimCheeHuu]

How can I create an image on my netbook of windows 7 starter and put it on a USB in case I ever need to re-install the OS on it again?  Thanks a bunch!

[ankithbk29]

[G4LNBL]

[TeenyAmaZes]

[zXIaDaMIXz]

or you could just download 'wintoflash' google it.

[mizernika]

My flash drive doesn't show up in diskpart. Any suggestions? Thanks!

[lwrruk]

@mizernika format it first ....in windows , right click on it . ...select format

[mizernika]

@lwrruk still doesn't work. maybe it's because i'm with xp and the diskpart is an older version :)

[talabastardo]

men if i have other files on the usb does that affect the instalation of windows 7?

[zXIaDaMIXz]

@talabastardo

yes

[talabastardo]

@zXIaDaMIXz aw i need 2 usb for my files and the instalation well i guess i will just buy a dvd

[riazbd143]

nice



[Yvescorbeil4life]

gotta love that freeware camstudio , clean and clear tutorial man

[kioMilenium]

If I use format without the fs=fat or ntfs, just: "DISKPART> format", is it mistaken?

Thanks a lot.

[lwrruk]

@kioMilenium yeah if you dont use the fs=fat32 it will be ntfs and your notebook wont see it

[patrickuk]

excellent, thank you.

[descobar98]

I'm using parallel desktops 7 from a mac to boot it and then going to put it onto a hp mini. My virtual box isnt recognizing my usb in the command prompt what do i do? Also dont i need any video card or the drivers or whatever?

[descobar98]

What about the video, intel, etc cards?

[edgarjvazquez]

My USB doesn't appear as a disk. Can you help me?

[029Vicky]

[MapleLeafsVideos]

very well done. thank you. its now copying all the files. hopefully it works.... although im using it for windows 8. i guessing it should work.

[DjMustangJr1997]

where do you get the .iso file?

[5hieldz]

@DjMustangJr1997 im guessing what he did is create a iso. image of the windows 7 install disk... if you have to install disc download and install imgburn from cnet.com.

open imgburn and click create imge file from disc

[msiaairaqcod]

thanks



[ssindreb]

thank you so much. now i dont need linux on my other computer! thnx again

[Desugrace]

thanks, this helped me for some other problem I had. I was having "no disks were found" errors after a linux installation. For some reason my disk was inactive/offline, I just set it to online and it works. I ended up using clean to delete the data too.

Fuck linux..

Fantastic help! Only guide that was actually clear on how to do this from a windows 7 pc (rather than vista or XP). Everything was spot on, good job!

[Mowgaliser]

my usb doesnt show. please help?

[ntworkg0d]

@Mowgaliser If you plug in the USB drive and you can see it in explorer or My Computer, it should show up when you do a list disk from diskpart.

[Mowgaliser]

@ntworkg0d it comes up in my computer but not in diskpart =|

[ntworkg0d]

@Mowgaliser Try unplugging it and doing a DISKPART and see what's in there, then plugging it back in and after the drivers install do another DISKPART. See if there's a difference

[Mowgaliser]

@ntworkg0d yepp ive tried that and it still doesnt work. i can see my external hard drives and internal. but not my usb

[ProjectSandStorm]

Thanks so much for the video. You should create more video!

[SUPERGAMEMASTER108]
