    Sorry for bumping the thread, but i have a weird problem, i have a friend that is stuck with "A required CD/DVD device driver is missing", so i figured that most times the problem is because of faulty iso, so i told him to burn it onto a USB via this tool and try to install through it.

    But he/i keeps on getting this error, he/i are trying on a GPT partitioned windows 8.1/10, is there a way that we could succeed?

    Thanks

    Well if it involves putting 7 on a drive that involves 8.1 or 10 in any way I would head over to those forums - the latter best bet mate it has lots of little idiosyncrasies that could be causing your problem.

    I have one question that no one asked before.

    Is there a way to make a USB repair drive by using the content of my own retail DVD disc?
    Win7 Pro with SP1 included / DVD production of 2011.

    This is an older thread, but to anyone that might be interested...
    I suppose you could make an ISO of it and use this tool to put it on a USB thumb drive. This might not work for your needs though. After however many updates to my Windows 7 Pro install over the years, the original install DVD was no longer compatible with the installed version of Windows. I had to download the Windows 7 ISO from Microsoft using my Windows key, flash that to a bootable USB thumb drive, and boot to that to repair my Windows 7 startup.

    I used Rufus to make the bootable USB drive using the downloaded ISO after not finding the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool hosted by Microsoft any more since it is no longer supported. That's how I also eventually made my way here out of morbid curiosity.

    Cheers.

    There is no need to create an iso . Just copy and paste the dvd contents onto a usb stick that you have formatted to fat32

    So in my case where the original Windows DVD was no longer compatible are you saying I could have just extracted the downloaded iso and copied the files over to a FAT32 formatted USB flash drive and booted to that instead of bothering with Rufus or the USB/DVD Download Tool?

    Even if you created a bootable USB stick, you still have the original DVD files on it so you got both the files AND a bootable device which give you more choices.
