HTH.Centralization of services is a global trend in universities worldwide. I used these instructions to get my new Dell Mini 9 laptop loaded with Windows 7 (the PDC bits). Most BIOS’s allow you to hit a key at boot and select a boot option. This is where you’re on your own since every computer is different. After you’ve copied all of the files the disk you are ready to go. The easiest way is to use Windows explorer to copy all of the files on your DVD on to the formatted flash drive. Step 3: Copy the installation DVD to the USB drive You can now close the command prompt window, we’re done here.I’m assuming that your USB flash drive has been labeled disk G:\ by the computer: Use bootsect to set the USB as a bootable NTFS drive prepared for a Vista/7 image.Change directory to the DVD’s boot directory where bootsect lives:.Insert your Windows Vista / 7 DVD into your drive.In the same command window that you were using in Step 1: Next we’ll use the bootsect utility that comes on the Vista or Windows 7 disk to make the flash drive bootable. When that is done you’ll have a formatted USB flash drive ready to be made bootable. Replace the number “1” with the number of your disk below. Format the drive by typing the next instructions into the same window.I’ll assume that the USB flash drive is disk 1. The number of your USB drive will listed. Find the drive number of your USB Drive by typing the following into the Command Prompt window:.Open a command prompt as administrator (Right click on Start > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt and select “Run as administrator”.The steps here are to use the command line to format the disk properly using the diskpart utility. These instructions assume that you have a computer with Windows Vista installed on it. This will walk through the steps to create a bootable USB flash drive for the purpose of installing a Vista or Windows 7 OS. I cobbled together the following from VistaPCGuy and another source I don’t remember right now. It surprised me to find that there are very few dead-simple guides to creating a bootable USB thumb/pen/flash drive for a Vista and/or Windows 7 installation. EDIT 1: Microsoft Provides a tool to do this for you – Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool. See the Microsoft Store Help on the ISO-Tool ( ).
