Sometimes I don’t remember all the commands for creating a USB installer for Windows 7; most of the time I google “ars technica usb install” to look at their great article. But here are the commands I like to use (slight variation from Ars Technica):
Open a command prompt window as administrator:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 |
diskpart list disk #Note the number of the disk that corresponds to your flash drive select disk X #Where X is the number of your flash drive from previous command clean #THIS WILL ERASE YOUR FLASH DRIVE create partition primary select partition 1 active format fs=ntfs quick |
Now you can copy the contents of your Windows ISO to your flash drive and boot from it to install Windows.
