Install Windows 7 from a USB drive the very easy way - Bootable USBThe fastest way to install windows 7 is from a bootable usb drive. You can cut the install time down to around 1. DVD if you use a fast drive. People still asking me to explain what is the best way to do this as many of the guides online are too complex, or require third party software which doesn’t always work as they supposed to. With this Bootable. USB guide all you need to ensure is that your motherboard supports USB booting, and this is a common feature now for most of the computers. I found these steps and am following them. Once in Windows setup, hit shift+F10 to bring up the command line. >diskpart [enter] >list disk [enter] From the list above. As you likely know, while one can install Windows 7 from an external hard drive, one can’t install the same to an external hard drive with default settings. For all. My external hard drive is recognized anytime I connect to my laptop, but I can’t access it because I don’t see the connected hard drive icon in “My Computer”. Today I am going to publish a step by step guide which works perfectly and doesn’t require any additional tools – I have been doing it for some time now to create bootable Windows install drives. You need to get hold of a fast USB 2. It doesn’t need to be 3. GB or bigger,however, all you need is a 4. GB unit. The faster it is, the better. What you need: – Windows 7 DVD install disc or ISO image– USB Drive (4. GB+ and as fast as you can get)– Running Windows Operating system– Working set of hands and eyes– A few minutes of your life. Plug in your USB drive in the USB port: Before going any further, make sure you have removed any important files on your drive to a safe location, what we are about to do next is to erase the entire contents of the drive. Insert your DVD of Windows 7 into the computer, but don’t start the normal install process. Open your ‘My Computer’ and make a note of the drive numbers of both the USB drive and the DVD drive with Windows 7 files on it. As you can see from the image above, the DVD drive is drive has letter D assigned and the USB drive is E. Open the command prompt with admin rights. Type cmd in Start menu search box and hit Shift+Ctrl+Enter. To keep things really easy, if you see text in upper case, it means this is what you type into the command prompt (you don’t need to type in upper case). Next type. DISKPARTthis loads the diskpart application we need to proceed. Then type. LIST DISKthe image above shows our 3. GB USB drive is listed as DISK 2so you have to type. SELECT DISK 2 (your USB Drive may have a different number, don’t follow exactly this text it depends on your usb drive)You will get a successful response “Disk 2 is now the selected disk”Next we want to clean the USB drive. Type: CLEANyou will get a successful response ‘Disk. Part succeeded in cleaning the disk”. After the drive is cleaned follow the list in the image above (detailed below in list order) – you can also note the successful text responses from the OS as you enter each command. SELECT DISK 2 (or what number your USB drive has)CREATE PARTITION PRIMARYSELECT PARTITION 1. ACTIVEFORMAT FS=NTFSFormatting can take a little time depending on the size of the drive, our 3. GB unit took about 1. Next type: ASSIGNEXIT (DISK PART will exit)Type D: CD BOOT (substitute the “D” if necessary with the letter of your Windows 7 DVD drive)then key. CD BOOTthen. BOOTSECT. EXE /NT6. 0 E: (substitute the “E” if necessary with the letter of your now ready USB drive) – we are telling the system to create a boot sector file on the USB drive. Now you can exit the command prompt and copy all the files on the Windows 7 DVD to the USB drive. Once this step is finished you’ll be ready to boot from this drive, all you need to do is configure your motherboard bios setup to boot first from USB rather than hard drive or optical drive. If you don’t know how to do this, refer to your specific motherboard manual or search the internet. Now, Windows 7 installation should take between 4. DVD disc. Last step: Drink a cup of tea, from now on you can do this again and again. Windows 7 - Notices but does not 'see' external usb hard drive. I had the same issue and it turns out my windows 7 install somehow didn't include 1 INF file that allows usb mass storage devices to work: usbstor. Version]Signature="$CHICAGO$"Class=USBClass.
