I want to create a usb installation but the utility only displays the floopy not the usb drive!
Thanks Brink,
problems started since I tried to upgrade from IE8 to IE9, now device manager doesn't show drives anymore so that might be the reason why the Micro$oft tool doesn't work.
I checked Rufus already and found too much to read about it and too many options so I gave up, sorry I got a family to care about and not much time to play with the computer. Lol
But I found wintobootic which fixed my problem, very very easy to use and efficient.
It seems strange to me (maybe NOT) that the creator of the OS made a tool that failed while third party guys were able to find solutions that suit the users' needs!
How long does it usually take to copy the files? Its been 15 minutes, and the bar is still stuck at 0% :/
Hello John,
It usually only takes a few minutes or so.
If you're doing this on a DVD, then you might try again on a new unformatted DVD to see if that may be the issue.
I went to Heidoc for the iso (Win7 Premium x64 SP1 U) and "saved as" on DVD drive, then burned to (unformatted?) DVD-R disk once D/L was complete. Will this render a bootable disk? I'm headed in the direction of trying a clean install to replace an error-plagued OEM installation.
The MS USB/DVD Tool for making a bootable disk installed but would not run (tried run as Admin) resulting in "CLR error: 80004005. The program will now terminate."
Hello SJesMe,
"CLR error: 80004005" is usually from a .NET Framework issue. Do you have the latest version installed?
Download Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.1 (Offline Installer) for Windows Vista SP2, Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8, Windows Server 2008 SP2 Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 and Windows Server 2012 from Official Microsoft Download Center
I can't really tell ... I'm on a different computer since the problem one is running memtest86 right now. As I recall, Net Framework 4 stuff failed in the installation process and I never bothered to address it since I was having more pressing problems with browser and display adapter crashes.
I do know all Net Framework through 3 are installed/updated.
I take it I do NOT have a bootable iso disk since the DVD/USB Tool wasn't used in creating the disk?
