System Repair Disc - Create
This method sometimes works better: YouTube - How to install Windows 7 from USB (WinToFlash)
The one method that always seems to work for me is loading iSO into UltraISO trial version, then on Bootable tab>Write Disk Image>Use Format button first.
Theog,
Just got back to where I have my collection of USB sticks.
I have a 128 MB USB.
I have a 256 MB USB.
I formatted both of them NTFS with DiskManagement and also with DISKPART. In fact also formatted the 256 MB using the Win explorer, right-click and choose format.
I put a primary active partition on the 256 MB.
Copied over the System Repair Disk.
Booted from the USB.
Worked perfectly.
my largest usb is 4GB (3.71GB) FAT32
but i already have windows 7 installation cd on my usb but i dont want to boot it i just want a usb that would be like a system recovery if my pc messes up
Theog,
Probieren geht ueber studieren.
In other words, actual, real-world practice is better than studying.
The trouble is you have an inaccurate reference which is not true for Window 7.
I woulld recommend locating a small usb stick and simply formatting with which every Win 7 method you prefer. Choose the ntfs format.
Examine the usb afterwards with Win Explorer, copy, paste or whatever to id.
As said, I now have a 256MB usb stick with the System Repair Disk recovery environment on it and I can boot from and use that USB
that option - repair your computer - doesnt appear
The sequence of screens you will see will be a little different when you :
insert the system repair disk,
Shutdown your computer.
Powerup you computer.
Be sure to tap any key before 8 seconds expire when you see a msg on the screen about booting from cd/dvd.
Later I'll mention to some of the veterans here that we actually do not have a tutorial precisely designed for someone booting from either a system repair disc-either on usb or cd/dvd.
In the meantime simply boot from the usb stick and you want the top radio button which says something about windows install.
Myself, the first time I used a system repair disc, I fumbled around trying to find how to get where I wanted to be.
Here are some links to tutorials which cover the material but not 100% accurately for your case:
Startup Repair - Windows 7 Forums
System Recovery Options - Windows 7 Forums
ok. have located my write-up on this. Will modify for usb case and send it in just a few minutes.
This is not a thing with pretty graphics just a text write-up.
