INSTALL WINDOWS 7,XP,VISTA THE EASY WAY FROM USB FLASH DRIVE

Postby soundworkspr » Sat Apr 18, 2009 12:27 pm

OK... first of my english is not that good so im going to explain this as simple as possible..

first of download the trial version of Ultra ISO found here (( http://www.ezbsystems.com/ultraiso ))

Then after u install this program open it... click on open look for your windows XP,Vista or 7 ISO file (depending on the size of the ISO file is the size on the USB flash drive u should get windows XP works on a 1GB, Vista should be on a 8 GB and windows 7 fits on a 4 GB...

After you have open the iso in the program just click on the top where it says bootable,
choose the one that says ((write image))

then a pop out window should appear choose your USB flash drive remember it should be empty if anything is on it, it will get erased.. check mark on the verify after writing..
this should take like 15 minutes an then your set to boot up from the USB


hope this is better then more complicated version... work for me

This worked great! Very straight-forward, thanks.

Just wondering, will this same method work with installing XP?

Hi! It looks like a very simply mode, but i was unsuccesful. The UltraISO couldn't format the drive, on the half it stopped by an error. Is this the failure of the pendrive, or any other had the same problem?

i have tried this with vista and windows 7 with great results.. let me know what copy of windows u r trying to put on the pen drive

And u would have to check if that copy of windows does not have any errors it could be the the ISO file is corrupted
