Solved Want my Windows 7 Starter back.... PLEASE HELP!!!!

[gregrocker]

Plug it into another USB port, make sure it's showing up in Computer.

Close and reopen the UltraISO program.

You can try the MS Download tool linked earlier, but it can be finicky about the ISO source.

so the ms tool will do the exact same thing? and okay

 

[chrisneedsHELP]

not working... :/ idk what to do

 

[gregrocker]

Fortunately there are several methods to do this as one or more may not work for some users.

Next I would try this: YouTube - How to install Windows 7 from USB (WinToFlash)

Is your USB even recognized by the computer? Does it show up as a drive when you plug it in? That's step #1.

 

[chrisneedsHELP]

yes it is recognized, i don't know why it won't show up in that program though

 

[gregrocker]

As soon as I plug in a USB stick it pops into the UltraISO Write utility dropdown window without even refreshing, so something must be wrong with your stick.

Try formatting it in Computer first.

Or just move on to Win2Flash which is almost as easy.

 

[chrisneedsHELP]

okayyyy

When it shows up as a drive in the explorer windows, just right click, format, NTFS, quick format, done. It should work after that.

 

[chrisneedsHELP]

FML.... the computer i was using to do everything on just messed up... **** this i'm trying it later...

 

[chrisneedsHELP]

k, so i'm back on and i formatted my usb... and it shows up in the drop menu now everything seems good, but then it says i need permission to write to the usb... :/ what do i do?

 

[gregrocker]

RIghtclick UltraISO application to Run As Administrator

Music to our ears.

Now save a Win7 backup image externally so you never have to reinstall again. If Win7 becomes irreparable simply boot the DVD Repair console to "Recover Using a SYstem Image" from the stored image in 20 minutes. Keep your files backed up separately.
