This post will be helpful especially for netbook users having no CD or DVD drive. Though netbooks have recovery options but if netbook users want to install a newer version of windows then that recovery options won’t be of any help.
There are many guides on making usb bootable by some command prompt which users find it difficult or by some softwares which most of the time doesn’t work and some are specific like ABUSB supports only windows 7 but not other.
The software which I am going to talk is known as Novicorp WinToFlash which is a universal one which means they support Windows 7, Vista, XP/2000. Don’t know whether they support linux or not but the name says it does not.
What do you need to make a bootable usb flash disk?
1. Any Windows CD or ISO
2. A USB pen drive having capacity of 4 GB for Windows 7, Vista. For XP/2000 2 GB is ok.
Backup all the data in your usb drive before running the software. Download the free tool,
Novicorp WinToFlash from here.
Run the software and make the windows source path point to the directory where the windows setup files are located. If you have an ISO file then extract it into a folder using winrar and select that directory as the file source path. Choose your USB Drive letter correcty, don’t make the mistake by selecting your hard drive !
Click ‘Run’ and wait for the process to complete.
