Does any of you have to make a bootable windows installation but dont have a spare DVD or CD with you or you wanna make the installation of windows a little bit faster?.If so why not try installing Windows using USB.Yea i mean it.It not only make your installation of Windows faster but also you can carry it on the go.
So friends lets start :
Note : In this tutorial I'm gonna use Rufus software which is an awesome utility to create a bootable usb.
You can also use Windows 7 USB/DVD tool.But Rufus is a bit faster. Anyways you have freedom to make your choice.
STEP 2 :
After installing your software will look something like this :
Go to device section and select the device from the drop-down list.Next go to volume label section and type a name for your drive otherwise leave it blank :) All other settings are pre-defined and you dont have to change anything.
STEP 3 :
Click on the CD drive button on the right side of FreeDos drop down list and browse to the windows installation iso.Wait till it scans the iso files.
STEP 4 :
Press start button.You will be given a message saying all the contents of the drive will be deleted ie,formatted. Make sure you have selected the right drive and press OK.
STEP 5 :
Sit back and relax , while Rufus does the job !!!
