HOW TO INSTALL WINDOWS OS USING PENDRIVE OR USB DRIVE

  • Now to make this bootable USB memory stick (Window 7 install) you will need at least one Windows 7 DVD 32bit or 64bit depending on what version you want to install and a blank 4gb USB or PENDRIVE.
  • Insert the Windows 7 DVD into your computer and the USB or PENDRIVE into your computer.
  • Open an “Command Prompt” and run “DISKPART”. This will open a diskpart in separate window.
  • Type “LIST DISK” and take note what the disk number is of the USB or PENDRIVE. Check the SIZE column to know about your pendrive.
  • Then type “SELECT DISK Y” where Y is the disk number of the USB.
  • Type “CLEAN” (This will clear all data from the USB or pendrive).
  • Type “CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY”.
  • Type “SELECT PARTITION 1”.
  • Type “ACTIVE”
  • Type “FORMAT FS=FAT32” and wait for 10 minutes or more depending upon the size of pendrive or usb.
  • Type “ASSIGN”.
  • The auto play window will now appear. Take note of the drive letter (e.g. G:\) and close this window.
  • Type “EXIT”.
  • At the command prompt type “xcopy E:*.* /s/e/f G:” where E is the drive letter of you DVD and G is the drive letter of your USB.
  • Now wait until it copies boot.wim and install.wim on to USB or PENDRIVE.
  • When xcopy is finished run “del G:\sources\ei.cfg” from the command prompt and your Windows 7 Bootable USB or PENDRIVE is ready for use. 
  • You can now either boot from the USB or just run setup.exe from the drive to start the install process.
  • This is how one can install window 7 through usb or pendrive.
