Problem with installing Win7 from USB drive by using WinXP
Hello all,
Currently, I'm still using Win XP and I think it's time for me to upgrade my PC to Windows 7 (very late, I know). I already have the ISO file downloaded from Microsoft official site, but when I tried to burn it into a USB drive (I'm using ISO TO USB program), I got stuck with "this drive is not bootable" error. After a bit of browsing around the net I found out that I must first make the USB bootable. I tried to use the command prompt diskpart->disk list, but then got stuck again since it seems that my XP machine does not recognize my USB drive (it doesn't show up on the disk list at all). Is there any XP-compatible program out there that I can use (for free preferably) to make my USB drive bootable?
My PC's specs
OS : Windows XP Pro SP3
Motherboard : ASUS H61M-C
CPU : G2020 @ 2.90GHz 2.89GHz
RAM : DDR3 3.19 GB
Storage : Multiple HDDs with 320GB to 1TB capacity
Sorry for the dumb problem, I'm a noob when it comes to Installing OS, please bear it with me. Thank you in advance, I appreciate any and all suggestions.
