What You Need

First, obviously, download the Windows 7 and don`t Iorget to write or print your product key,
that`s a must. Also, Ior netbooks, make sure it`s the 32-bit version you download because your
netbook might not play nice with the 64-bit version.
Windows 7 is a big bugger at 2.4GB, so you`ll probably need a 4GB or larger thumb drive to Iit
it.
Preparing the Flash Drive
This process will diIIer a little bit depending on which OS you are making the drive on, but don`t
Iret, you can do it on Windows XP, Windows Vista and Mac OS X with no problem.
Step One is getting the files out of the ISO and expanded onto your disk
I used Mac OS X`s Disk Utility to mount the ISO and then just copied the Iiles out oI it. For
Windows, use DaemonTools Lite and do the same thing, mount it and then copy the Iiles out oI
it onto your hard disk.
Step Two is formatting the thumb drive and making it bootable
For this task, you need to do a little command line skullduggery, this is perhaps a little PC Jedi
magic to the uninitiated, but it`s not that bad. I`ll assume you are using Vista Ior these tasks:
1. Connect your thumb drive to your PC
2. Right-click 'Command Prompt under Programs ~ Accessories and select 'Run as
administrator.
3. Find the drive number Ior your Ilash drive using these commands
diskpart
list disk
The number oI your thumb drive will be in the list.
4. Format the drive using the commands listed below (we`ll assume your drive number was
1 in this example)
select disk 1
clean
create partition primary
select partition 1
active
format fs=NTFS
assign
exit
5. From the command prompt, browse to the Iolder you copied the contents oI the Windows
7 ISO to and then to the boot Iolder. II you are using Vista it should look something like
cd c:\Users\username\Desktop\Windows7\boot\
6. Now we will use bootsect to make the USB a bootable NTFS drive that is ready Ior the
Windows 7 Install Files.
-ootsect /nt60 x: (assuming X is the drive letter oI your thumb drive.)
That`s it, you can close the command prompt, the USB drive should now be bootable and ready
to go.
Step Three is copying the Windows 7 Install Files
Simple enough, you copied them to your desktop in Step 1, now take everything that`s inside the
Iolder you copied them too, and copy them to the root oI your thumb drive.
Parting Thoughts
Not every machine is ready to go Ior USB booting, you might have to check the BIOS settings to
enable this Ior your particular machine.
