Have you ever used USB MultiBoot Version 10?

This application software is used for creating the bootable USB-stick. I have recently used this software and found it very interesting and easy to understand. Today, in this tutorial I will explain the method to create and install Windows XP from USB stick by using this amazing software. Now to create a bootable USB of Windows XP and then install the said Windows from it, follow the instructions given bellow. 1. You will need a special tool to copy the Installation files and make the USB-stick / SD card bootable. Search it on Google and download usb_multiboot_10.zip 2. Now after downloading, unpack to any folder. The path to your folder must be simple and without spaces! (For example: c:\usb_multiboot_10) 3. After that step connect the USB-stick / SD card to your PC. Note: ALL DATA ON YOUR STICK WILL BE ERASED! Please back up before running USB_MultiBoot_10.cmd! 4. Run USB_MultiBoot_10.cmd and follow the text description. 5. Format utility will apear. 6. Here choose NTFS for 4Gb or more USB flash or choose FAT16 for those USBs which have less than 4GB memory. 7. Now Start format. diamondsw: Using the HP format option works fine for any capacity, and you can use FAT32 without problems (I used a 4GB stick). This can be useful as more systems can read FAT32 instead of NTFS. NOTE: If you are doing this from a Vista machine, you may need to run PeToUSB.exe as adminstrator in order for this program to recognize the jump drive. (For this reason Right click PeToUSB.exe >> Properties >> Compatibility >> Run this program as an administrator checked.) 8. Close after finishing. 9. Now is time to decide if you want to install the FULL CD, or a nLite version. 10. Set options 1 and 2. Set option 0 only if you want to use USB HDD instead of a USB stick/ SD card. Note: Do not touch other options if you have no idea about it. 11. Choose 3 after setting all other options. It will create the image and write it to the USB stick as well as make the USBstick / SD card bootable. 12. Answer Yes to all questions that come up (these vary depending on options selected). 13. When it finishes copying, remove your USB stick and connect it with the other PC to install Windows XP. 14. When you turn on that other PC, hold down Esc key to choose the boot device order.

15. Here when you are asked to choose boot device, select the USB stick/ SD card. Youll need to do this at each reboot until XP is fully installed and youve logged in. 16. Choose Text installation at first time and GUI installation after reboot twice! (Choose step 1 to start installing, after reboot choose step 2, after continued install press step 2 AGAIN to log into XP) 17. Finally, your Windows will be installed. 18.

Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool

Overview Installation Usage FAQ Troubleshooting

Overview
When you choose to download most software from the Microsoft Store, you have the option of using Download Manager or downloading from your browser. However, when you purchase Microsoft Windows 7 from Microsoft Store, you have an additional choice to make: whether to download a collection of compressed files or to download an ISO file. An ISO file combines all the Windows 7 installation files into a single uncompressed file. These instructions are for Windows 7 only. If you're looking for instructions about downloading Windows 8, click here. If you choose to download an ISO file (so that you can create a bootable file from a DVD or USB flash drive), copy your Windows 7 ISO file onto your media and, run the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool. After you do this, you can install Windows 7 onto your computer directly from the USB flash drive or DVD. NOTE: When you download the ISO file, you must copy the file onto a USB flash drive or a DVD to install Windows 7. When you're ready to install Windows 7, insert the USB flash drive into your USB port or insert your DVD into your DVD drive, and then run Setup.exe from the root folder on the drive. The advantage to following this process and creating bootable media is that it allows you to install Windows 7 without having to first run an existing operating system on your machine. If you change the boot order of drives in your computer's BIOS, you can run the Windows 7 installation directly from your USB flash drive or from a DVD when you first turn your computer on. (Please see the documentation for your computer for information about how to change the BIOS boot order of drives.)

Copies

To install the software, you may make one copy of the ISO file on a disc, USB flash drive, or other media. After youve installed the software and accepted the license terms that accompany the software, those license terms apply to your use of the software. The license terms for Windows 7 permit you to make one copy of the software as a back-up copy for reinstallation on the licensed computer. If you do not delete your copy of the ISO file after

installing the Windows 7 software, the copy of the ISO file counts as your one back-up copy. If you need to download the software again, you can go to your Download Purchase History in your Microsoft Store account and access the download there.
