Hello Maifs,

I'm assuming that you are referring to these tutorials below.

Did you format the USB flash drive with a NTFS file system first instead of the default FAT32?

In addition:

• You can only create a 64-bit Windows 7 bootable USB flash drive if your current Windows 7 installation is also 64-bit.
• You can create a 32-bit Windows 7 bootable USB flash drive if your current Windows 7 installation is 32-bit or 64-bit.

hello brink
bootmgr.efi is missed and this file is not available at my side. except of it, everything has been verified.

Where did you get the Windows 7 ISO file that you are using in part 2 here Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool?

 

[maifs]

i bought it from a software vender.

 

[Brink]

I'm not sure why the program was not able to create a bootable Windows 7 installation USB flash drive then.

Another method that always works for me is to install UltraISO trial version: On File tab Open ISO, on Bootable tab Write Disk Image, Format, Write. Boot under USB or HD's on one-time BIOS Boot menu.

 

[maifs]

ok i try it

 

[maifs]

it couldnt format nor write and nor even find any usb option.

That's has been the most sure fire way for me as well it always makes good bootable usb install disks...or as greg was saying this way will work right click on the iso and open it with ultraiso it should be right at the top of the explorer menu and then follow the rest of gregs commands..

Did it detect the Win7 ISO (as shown below in Image File box) once you loaded it in on File tab using Open? If you are using the DVD then you need to choose Open CD/DVD on File menu.

Did you have the flash stick plugged in? Did it detect it as shown below in Disk Drive dropdown menu?



If the ISO and the flash stick are loaded and detected as shown, then the Format and Write button should work.

 

[maifs]

i have it (ISO) in my HD's . can't i pic from it?

 

[gregrocker]

Yes, browse to the ISO file from the File tab by clicking Open.

Then on Bootable tab, click Write Disk Image.

The ISO file should show up in the Image File window, and the USB flash stick should show up in the Disk Drive window. If not, click on the drop-down menu in the window as shown below.

 

[maifs]

at my side , it is not picing the right usb .
my usb drive is I: but why it is showing continuously E: ?

please see the below snapshot. snapshot has been taken after loading successfully ISO.

 

[gregrocker]

It is obviously showing the DVD drive in the window when it needs to show the USB stick.

You need to click on the window in which E drive is appearing to change it to your USB flash stick which should be listed if it is plugged in.

If not try plugging it in again to another USB port, next try rightclicking on it in Start>Computer to format it NTFS to get it detected.

 

[maifs]

dear gregrocker please see the below snip. E: drive is not a CD/DVD drive.
CD/DVD drive is H:

 

[gregrocker]

Well the popup said to insert a Disk in drive so E must be a card reader.

It looks like your USB drive is I from the map, isn't it?


Is there some reason you can't click on the dropdown menu next to Disk Drive which I can see even though it's hidden behind the popup?

 

[maifs]

yes i am able to clink on that dropdown list. but it doesnt have anything except two time E:.
It is not detedting my flash disk.

 

[gregrocker]

Try rightclicking on flash stick in Computer to reformat to see if it is detected then.

 

[maifs]

still not
