Installing Windows 7 in your USB drive!!

You can create a bootable Windows 7 USB or flash drive so that you can test Windows 7 without testing your machine's performance. You just need a 4GB+ flash drive and Windows 7 installation DVD. Rest I will tell you.
  • Plug in your USB drive
  • Go to Start -> Run, type cmd hit enter.
  • That should bring in the command prompt. (I hope you are running as an adminstrator)
  • Type diskpartlist disk
  • The number of your USB drive will listed.You’ll need this for the next step. I’ll assume that the USB flash drive is disk 3.
  • Now type and execute these steps one by one select disk 3 cleancreate partition primaryselect partition 3 activeformat fs=NTFSassignexit
  • That will just to make your disk formatted and ready with partitions.
  • Insert your Windows Vista / 7 DVD into your drive.
  • Change directory to the DVD’s boot directory where bootsect lives:d:cd d:\boot7.
  • Use bootsect to set the USB as a bootable NTFS drive prepared for a Vista/7 image.
  • I’m assuming that your USB flash drive has been labeled disk G:\ by the computer. So,bootsect /nt60 g:You can now close the command prompt window.
  • Now you need to copy the installation DVD to your USB drive.
  • The best way to do it is to use Windows Explorer and that will copy all the files to your USB drive.
  • Now set up your BIOS to boot from USB. and you are done.
  • Enjoy.
