WINDOWS TIP - Creating a bootable windows 7 install from a USB Stick

[WuggyFoot]

wtf is a mormon?

[broesie1]

Are there any differences compared to WAIK win7?

[videosurfer69]

Thanks. Now I skip the optical drive and just use this for the OS install, Steam for games and iTunes for music. Digital media > optical media!

[denke91tomi]

Hey PCWizKid! Does this, or similar program does win XP bootable USB drive? It would help me a lot!

[ShadowrazeHyD]

3 persons is the MAC user... =P

[msintelcorei7]

Can i take the OS path from my DVD + RW disc and then burn it on the same DVD + RW disc?

[AMDx3am]

:D WORKING :D Ty

[TheJustin574]

what if you dont have the iso disk?

can i do it from windows backup? thanks =)

[chiaofucious]

Great video. One question, does this work with a window 7 upgrade dvd? I have window xp currently and my optical drive is busted. Under the instruction it said I need to boot from dvd and do a clean install.

[muiecopyright]

[fritske71]

Thanx,i'm using it right now,great program!

[OutTrainTheGame]

how do i change the format back??

[sxyphatboy]

i have something called windowstousb it does the same thing

[zomfger]

Ever thought of you similarity with Mr Mackey in South Park when saying "M kay"?

[AMVDawg]

You can check the tutorial on how to get other windows to install from USB on my other channel - PCTechViews.

Thanks

[johncenaultimatefan]

really nice thing ... good to know ... THX !!!

[lenoat702]

Is there a solution for Windows XP?

[Mastermind12358]

dosent microsoft provide a software just like this to do a bootable usb stick ? expect that one is much more simple.

[Pedjamadafaka]

I use WinToFlash. a free app for those that dont want to mess with all of the options. Just plug in the usb stick, put the location of your windows files in, wait for a couple of minutes, and youre all set :)

[ExcessVidzJR]

you need a new intro

[3ld3ra71as]

but what if you don't have the windows 7 intallation DVD ?

[Eragon86micky]

wow!

[probscus]

@PCWizKid would this be able to be used for initial installation, say if you didnt have a dvd drive in a new computer

[alex189100]

thanks for the tip

[122493]

I have a Windows 7, All-in-One (starter, home pre, pro, ult) x64 are less then 3.7gb

4gb is more then enough

[WindowsGeek12]

does SAMSUNG R530 support USB boot

[122493]

@WindowsGeek12 just check the bios, if it boots from a usb HDD, or in advance you can just check is you can turn the usb to a cd drive

just check if its detects in the bios

[duminicad]

most users already have Nero installed, it can create the image, now using UNetBootin, you can create a bootable USB stick in fewer steps.

[ghttboi]

can i do the same with an eom version?

[2011lovell]

Nice info

[Tommy1337swe]

does this work if you are going to update BIOS??

[122493]

@Tommy1337swe well you can put the rom on and it update it by that, or do you mean it doesnt detect, and you want it to. well for that it just might not me compatible, once the computer turns on, go into the boot menu, that is what you want to boot from. make sure your usb is plugged in, and select it. if it doesn't work then either the usb has be created wrong, or not supported

[MrPapperskorgen3]

I have to "reboot" my computer, like it was new. my computer had windows 7 home premium when i bought it and now i want to reboot it. i got some files that i burned into 3 dvds after i started it in the fist time. how do i do??

[DaveSimonH]

@MrPapperskorgen3

Was one of the DVDs a "recovery disc", one of those should reinstall as windows to the state it was in when you made the disc. There may even be a hard drive partition dedicated to it

DId you install another OS, or are you having problems with a virus etc.?

Either way before you do anything make sure to back up all your files onto external hard drive or DVDs, when you run recovery discs you are basically formatting/wiping the hard drive back to an earlier state.

[MadSupra354]

There is a way to do this on Microsoft's website. You don't need the disc, just the ISO.

[N00bizme]

Windows 8 will definately have boot from USB feature(it's been confirmed)

[worldsails2000]

I used a USB stick to instal Win 7 on my latest build a few months ago. I wish I had known about this program then. I set up the USB drive the hard way, through a CMD prompt......I have to say that after using a USB stick to install the OS I will never install through an optical drive again. The entire process took less than 10 minutes from start to end.

[PreciseArrow1]

Does this work with XP

[zorzer13]

@PreciseArrow1 I don think so since this program has windows 7 in its name. Windows XP has different kind of installation files.

[nervenjere]

unetbootin =X or just formate usb to fat 32 and then with cmd file copy :D

[slidas1]

awsome video thanks loads been wanting to do this for awhile but wasn,t sure how..

great tutorial

[hammo10odi]

thanks man

[Gurellaz696]

You are a legend my friend!!

[Little1know1it1all1]

@1991Luk you know theres this little old button called the "REPLY BUTTON"

[freakyflow]

@1991Luk luk1991@live.com Name : luca so he bought a 16 gb so what? how does it make him a idiot .. you can save windows and pictures and video and programs ..something a 4 gb isn't going to do when your computer crashes ..stupid is posting your email address with your name

[freakyflow]

@1991Luk My name is all over youtube is yours? I been around the world with my name have you? I get paid for doing what i would of for free do you? ..Buyed is not a word. Bought is the word your looking for. When did you become this guys financial manager? And no i have no clue like the rest of the world who you are and i like it that way. I'm not into internet dating

[freakyflow]

@1991Luk really don't know why you feel the need to share your sexual preferences with me or youtube or fish to see if i have a boyfriend or "somethin" And the mistake is thinking this channel or me is American The other is calling someone a idiot for buying something you have nothing to do with. It's none of your bussiness what someone else does with there money The more you add to  these post the bigger asshole you look like. Your opinion / "Europe guy mistakes. make me laugh

[freakyflow]

@1991Luk Now your trying to guess my age?? wtf before you said you didn't care so why guess? If your mom still tells you what to do Maybe you need to let the big boys talk and go outside and play with the dog ..Why do you want to talk about my gay feelings if your mommy does want you to others? Does your mommy know you like talking to men about being gay? maybe you should have a talk to her about your sexual proferences she might give a fuck cause no one here cares about you being gay

[1991Luk]

@freakyflow I was talking about you being gay retard.You must do highschool again cause you are as dumb as fuck.My mom passed away a year ago psycho,I was sarcastic,IF YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS.

[1991Luk]

@freakyflow So what if I listen to katy perry?So what if I listen even to hannah montana?Why do you give a shit about what I like.Why did you even started this stupid conversation.

[1991Luk]

@freakyflow I can put my credit card in a video and upload it on YouTube.I can listen to Rebecca Black while I am pooping.I can go to Hawaii with my bestfriend's mother.I can stop f#%@-ing for 3 years. YOU ARE A F$@$ing STRANGER AND YOU SHOULD GIVE A FUCK SO STAY OUT OF THE WAY AND DO NOT MESS AROUND.

[justafatman7]

00:51 Thats what she said!

[ComputerWissenTV]

DANKE!

[PytoX]

great thanks :)

[lestat692k8]

good vid thanks

[camaroone123]

THANKS.

[littledreamer1969]

i hope this will work with XP

[Kaesbollle]

I got WIN7 3 weeks bevor the release and since them i got the imgage

thanks school

[mareno395]

good video!

[everything543210]

Will this work with OEM builder versions of Windows 7 ?

[vanguard921]

Will you Please Tell us how to do create Multiple OS Boot usb.Thanks

[lildopDOTcom]

I might actually reinstall my Windows 7 x64 or create an image with all the programs I use regular as a backup so when it does come to me re-installing W7, I can just run the disc and not mess around reinstalling EVERYTHING haha!

[infinitypark003]

This is really great utility to use. Especially since It has the option to remove stuff that you don't want installed.

[RandomMacFive]

I really want to know what that PCWizKid's Tech Talk icon does.

[1999PANOS]

@RandomMacFive It's just the "computer" icon renamed and changed icon!

[Musicarta]

Nice video. Worked perfectly.

[TheFatHindu]

i use wintoflash

[iTechNetwork]

Thank you i destroyed 6 DVD's already non of them are working

[infinitypark003]

@iTechNetwork How can you break all 6 DVD's?

[atr222]

@iTechNetwork Lol you must be retarded if you break 6 DVD's before realizing that something's wrong

[iTechNetwork]

@atr222 Yeah i just found out that they are incompatible with my DVD Drive thats why they keep stop burning on Finalizing Disc

[pertava]

thank you PCWizKid

[zver711]

HOLY CRAP DUDE! I just bought a 16GB stick so I could do this and you made this video. Thanks, btw.

[psychoclown420]

@zver711 SAME HERE!!!!!

[lukie254]

@zver711 In most cases you can do it with a 4GB USB ;)

[zver711]

@lukie254 But that one was 16GB, TDK, and for 19$ plus free shipping. Why would I care to look for cheaper at the time, USB 2.0 stick prices came down hard. Plus I heard USB 3.0 sticks have a problem becoming a bootable device for Win 7 64 bit, read the forums.

[groMMit1981]

thanks , can you do a vid (if you havne't already) on creating a usb stick to run windows 7? and how to add alternate chipset drivers, nic drivers etc so it can run on diff machines

[PCHelpingGuy]

i am going to sell some win 7 copies on the street 60 $ for ultimate thanks man

[DaveSimonH]

In the past I've used WinToFlash but this software definitely seems to have a lot more features to tweak. Will add this vid to a playlist for future reference.

[jjamendoza]

WHOAH! WYSIWYG? I can take out what I don't want. I love this.

[G3GabeL]

Well what if I have it pre-installed will this still work?

[DemoncChivas]

Lol I was looking for this the you uploaded a video

[EPBaseballer14]

this will be useful for when I get an SSD. THANK YOU!

[MajorDisaster4u]

This would be cool If we could burn it to a dvd instead of putting it on usb drive

[PCWizKid]

@MajorDisaster4u You can, there are different choices to burn to a DVD if you want also

[MajorDisaster4u]

@PCWizKid Cool, thanks

[MistaQuake4]

@PCWizKid I'm PRETTY sure he's trolling you, I think y ou're just wasting your time. pfft. who doesn't know how to burn an OS to a DVD, I'd rather learn the odd way of a USB installation..... just cuz it's different. I wanted to try this with Linux Mint a few years back, but I didn't have a USB drive handy lol.

[MdNtNightmare]

@PCWizKid You should reallly do a review for the Antec DF-85 full black/full tower case.

Such a sexy case. <3

[kennide123]

@PCWizKid is it possible to create a bootable windows 7 portable thing? like totally installed in the usb so i cant boot windows 7 at school or something

[akula2shark]

@PCWizKid

What's the USB installation time for Windows7 Pro or Ultimate compared to a DVD installation? Next, I thought using an USB3.0 thumb drive would be a better choice than sticking with USB2.0. Have you done any work in that direction? Please respond to those queries. Thanks.

[wwyk1993]

@MajorDisaster4u Burning it onto a DVD is the more conventional way and it's easier.

[mikeymike93]

@MajorDisaster4u lol that's like a primary option...

[122493]

@MajorDisaster4u USB is still faster

[merts487]

This is excellent. Thank you, PCWiz.

[dankill16]

finally 

[sangolt88]

I bet it boots fast

[MarcosFabianTv]

@sangolt88 It's almost the same thing. The advantage is that it's in a USB drive.

[iFastforwrd]

@MarcosFabianTv He means the install time is faster. usb > dvdrom

[Lorenzo763]

just torrent it! i did for my MacBook pro and made a partition and it woks fine!

[iamrandom123456789]

@Lorenzo763 thats also illegal :\

[Ajc176]

@iamrandom123456789

Spooky internet pirates

[ElReye03]

@iamrandom123456789 Only if you do not owned the Legal OS Disc

[paulgnc24]

is the installation faster this way?

[lordmat666]

i think you can buy serials directly from microsoft. most system builders use the same OEM copy of windows on all the machine they just buy a bunch of license form microsoft.

[lordmat666]

any1 as a link to all windows7 official security updates/services packs preferably form microsoft website so i can make a up to date install having to download all the patch sucks.

[SupahAwesomeTaco]

Aww, What if I bought the PC with Windows 7 already installed?

[TheTemplai]

this will come in handy for sure!

[CiviC894G]

Like this is really that hard >.,

[madhawarock]

I WAS LOOKING FORWARD FOR THIS THANKz @PCWizKid

[CJCA915]

"Legal" serial... technically it's not a law... a genuine serial... funny thing is, when you buy a copy of software that use a key, that's what you're really paying for... since the software is universal in design... unless of course you have different versions, like for Windows 7, Professional, Ultimate, etc.

[doubleatheman]

@CJCA915 Even then there are programs that make it so you can have all versions of windows 7 on one disk. That's what I use now. I have one disk for 32bit and one for 64bit, during the windows 7 install it asks me which version I want to install.

[CJCA915]

@doubleatheman Yea, I use Windows 7 Ultimate x64.

[KurzLuppii]

@CJCA915

Not EVEN! All Versions Vista/7 are included on every disk. You can even convert your disk to whatever version you want. The only thing you cant convert is 32Bit and 64bit.

[CJCA915]

@KurzLuppii Well, I hear that all versions of Windows are the same, basically, just in certain versions the features are hidden or disabled...

[CJCA915]

In any case, you're really paying for the serial... in most software you're paying for your license, not the software.

[footballbarcafan10]

this is very handy!

[drbejarjj]

quick question, where can i buy windows 7 professional 64bit license for a good price?

[4hater300]

@drbejarjj You can't.

[LLOYD19851012]

@drbejarjj Ebay

[CJCA915]

@drbejarjj Ebay, etc.

[DaveityTM]

@drbejarjj your not supposed to buy/sell licenses separately

[CJCA915]

@DaveityTM Well, apparently, it's not, because I know many that sell excess copies on Ebay... hence why you see 3+ being sold by one individual...

As long as the copy of the software hasn't been opened, and used, I think it's fine, because I've not heard of anyone getting sued over selling extra copies, if they're unopened...

[DaveityTM]

@CJCA915 both and I were talking about the actual License code/serial

[CJCA915]

@DaveityTM Well, if the software package is unopened, and just happen to be a extra purchased copy, then the serial is valid, and you're free to resell it... what are you gonna do with it, send it back? Let it collect dust? Throw it away?

[doubleatheman]

@drbejarjj Newegg its $139.99 on newegg com now search for "windows 7 pro oem" on neweggs site.

[paulgnc24]

5th



[coijoi]
