How do you create a USB boot drive

Alright, will now go find a windows installation disk!!!

Easiest method to write USB flash installer is to use Universal USB Installer – Easy as 1 2 3
with Win7 in the dropdown menu.

Follow the steps in the Perfect Reinstall link in my signature picture below to get a perfect install.

I appreciate it, however I provided an alternative, that instead of a software disk part can be used.

Please let us know Music Guy 123 how the installation goes.

cheers, am going to try with an xp installation disc as have that... will see how it goes, thanks for the help though!!!

Lol, it wont work with XP....but best to learn from failure.

I don't think I've ever gotten XP installer to boot on a flash stick. But then I always had CD drives available.

At one time Win2Flash advertised it wrote XP to stick, but it never worked for me. However an OP I was helping got it to write the Win7 Repair CD to stick and it worked fine.

why not, although i do believe u!!! I used wintoflash with what i thought was a winxp disc. I am not really sure what the disc was for, I am worried if i boot with the usb, winxp will over run my system!!! There is no iso on the usb or disc, I have screen printed the files from my usb, what will happen if i boot from it??? Thanks for your help.

Try following this method.
