Windows 7 and Windows 8 Installation using pen drive

Hi Friends,
Here i will show u how we install windows 7/windows 8 using pen-drive
This guide provided with the help of intowindows.com. 

I just did this method on one of my friends machine and installed Windows 7 and Windows

8 . The main advantage is that by using USB drive you will be able to install Windows 7 or

Windows 8 in just 15 minutes. You can also use this bootable USB drive on friend’s

computer who doesn’t have a DVD optical drive.

The method is very simple and you can use without any hassles. Needless to say that your

motherboard should support USB Boot feature to make use of the bootable USB drive.

Requirements:

*USB Flash Drive (Minimum 4GB)

*Windows 7 or Windows 8 installation files.

Follow the below steps to create bootable Windows 7/Windows 8 USB drive using which

you can install Windows 7 or Windows 8 easily.

Procedure:

1. Plug-in your USB flash drive to USB port and move all the contents from USB drive to a

safe location on your system.

2. Open Command Prompt with admin rights. Use any of the below methods to open

Command Prompt with admin rights.

*Type cmd in Start menu search box and hit Ctrl+ Shift+ Enter.

Or

*Go to Start menu > All programs > Accessories, right click on Command Prompt and

select Run as administrator.

3. You need to know about the USB drive a little bit. Type in the following commands in

the command prompt:

First type DISKPART and hit enter to see the below message.

Next type LIST DISK command and note down the Disk number (ex: Disk 1) of your USB

flash drive. In the below screenshot my Flash Drive Disk no is Disk 1.

4. Next type all the below commands one by one. Here I assume that your no is

“Disk 1”.If you have Disk 2 as your USB flash drive then use Disk 2.Refer the above step

to confirm it.

So below are the commands you need to type and execute one by one:

SELECT DISK 1

CLEAN

CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY

SELECT PARTITION 1

ACTIVE

FORMAT FS=NTFS

(Format process may take few seconds)

ASSIGN

EXIT

Don’t close the command prompt as we need to execute one more command at the next

step. Just minimize it.

  

5. Next insert your Windows7/Windows 8 DVD into the optical drive and check the drive

letter of the DVD drive. In this guide I will assume that your DVD is “D” and

USB drive letter is “H” (open my computer to know about it).

6. Maximize the minimized Command Prompt in the 4th step.Type the following

command now:

D: CD BOOT and hit enter.Where “D” is your DVD drive letter.

CD BOOT and hit enter to see the below message.

7. Type another command given below to update the USB drive with BOOTMGR

compatible code.

BOOTSECT.EXE /NT60 H:

  Where “H” is your USB drive letter. Once you enter the above command you will see the

below message.

8. Copy your Windows 7 or Windows 8 DVD contents to the USB flash drive.

9. Your USB drive is ready to boot and install Windows 7 or Windows 8. Only thing you

need to change the boot priority at the BIOS to USB from the HDD or . I

won’t explain it as it’s just the matter the changing the boot priority or enabling the USB

boot option in the BIOS.
