windows7 dvd to usb Many of us are so lazy these days that we do n’t want to use optical media for any purpose. Now, even Mini laptops do n’t include DVD +RW drive in them. My friend having a similar problem came to me, he was not having any optical media drive in hp Mini laptop. So, he asked me about how could he be able to load Windows 7 or Vista into it, and the answer is by creating a bootable usb pen drive. It is very simple to create a bootable USB drive for Windows 7. Here is the whole guide to create Windows 7 USB installation


Preparing the USB drive

  1. Get a 4GB or more capacity of USB pen drive, SD/MMC card might also work (not tested by me).

  • Format the pen drive in NTFS file system and copy all the data of Windows Installation DVD into USB drive.
  • Click on start and click Run… Type cmd and press enter. Run cmd as administartor.
  • Now open the USB drive, for example J: drive is my USB drive, I’ll type J: and press enter.
  • Type-
    cd boot
    bootsect /nt60 J: /force
  • This will make your pen drive as bootable media, adn you can install Windows, as usual from  like from DVD installation.
  • If you got any problem feel free to Contact Us. I’ve also uploaded one video, showing how to create this installation, its shown here

      This means, you either you've not copied all files to your USB drive or you are not selecting the right drive for your USB drive

      k: where k is my pendive drive letter)

      k:\cd boot
      k:\boot>bootsect /nt60 k: /force(
      No bootcode was successfully updated.

    11. @dinesh- This happened because you haven’t started cmd with administrator privileges, try this-
      Type cmd in run and the press Ctrl+Shift+Enter, click yes..
      And then, use the commands above..
