How To Install Windows From Usb Flash Drive...

  1. Dear.
        1.  Most Flash Drives available in the market will work. When choosing a drive for the preparation we should remember two key points:
    • The Flash Drive should have a decent read/write speed

    To prepare the USB Flash Drive, we need access to a computer running either Windows Vista™ or Windows 7™. Insert the Flash Drive in the computer and wait for the computer to recognize the drive.

    Copying The Installation Files
The next step is to copy the files from the Original Windows Vista™ / Windows 7™ disc. Before we copy the content of the disc to the Flash Drive, we have to make sure that the drive is ready to accept files. In the same Command Prompt that we have used in the previous step, type the following commands
  1. 1
    • Type FORMAT FS=NTFS QUICK [ When it reaches 100% you are ready to move to the next step ]

    Now your Flash Drive is ready for the files. Insert your Windows disc into your drive. In my case, my Disc Drive is I: drive and my FLASH Drive is J:

    Type XCOPY I:\*.* /S/E/F J:\ [ This Command needs to be typed in the same Command Prompt that we have left open after Diskpart.
    • If your Drive letters are correct, after several minutes you will get a message saying the numbers of files successfully copied to your FLASH DRIVE
