[TUT]How to Install Windows 7 by USB—Even on a Netbook | For Fast Boot


Putting the Windows 7 installation on a USB thumb drive has a few
advantages—a small USB key is much more convenient for carrying
around than a DVD, the OS will actually install much faster, and you
can use a USB key to install Windows 7 on systems that do not have a
DVD drive, such as a netbook. In fact, you can even install Windows 7
on netbooks that have fairly modest hardware. Dennis Chung, an IT
Pro Evangelist at Microsoft recently posted a video demonstrating how
easy it is to prepare your thumb drive and use it to install Windows 7.
Here’s a quick look at the process:


First, you’ll need the DiskPart utility on the system you will use to prep the thumb drive.
This is a free disk partitioning utility that is likely already installed on your Windows system.
If not, you can download DiskPart here.


Launch the DiskPart utility by typing diskpart at the Start Menu.

Then run the list diskcommand to check the status of your drive.
Now run select disk 1 where the "1" is actually the
corresponding number of your USB drive.




Runclean.

Once the thumb drive is clean, you can runcreate partition primary.

Now make the partition active by entering active

Then you need to set up the file system as Fat32 by
running format fs=fat32 quick (quick, of course,
specifies that you want to perform a quick format to speed up the process).



Entering the assign command gives the USB drive a drive letter, making it easy to access from Windows
Explorer


Then you can copy everything from the Windows 7 installation DVD onto the USB key (a simple drag and drop will do). Now you can insert the thumb drive into the system you want to install Windows 7 onto and
boot the system. The installation will now proceed as usual—but faster.

Plagiarism is ugly and will get you expelled from college as well as most jobs. Resist the urge to present someone else's work as your own. Additionally there are already a number of such threads using the same process on HF that a simple search would have revealed.

Take care
