yes but please suggest me a way to format as fat or try to use RMPREPUSB what iagave to do to make a win7 bootable usb stick witht he help of thsi app?

I wish to try RMPREPUSB to see if iam doign sowmthign wrong. can you tell me the steps for that? i want to be able to installl vista with it via my usb key. is also there a way to identify whats types of filesystems my mobo supports for usb key loading?

1 hours now iam trying the 2nd app RMPREPUSB but iam getting error. Can you please guide me as to what options/ticks i have to choose to make a windows7 bootable usb stick out of win7.iso? Thank you.

Should i try format the disk at fat32? because automatically the program gone for ntfs? GRLTR is grub's linux loader and when i install unix thsi can boot, maybe its becaus eth stick was formatted as ntfa and mobo couldn't support it. Cant his be possible? ill try it buit please suggect me a specific other tool to use.

I used Bootable USB Drive Utility v1.7 as pointed to me as aw ty tom peroperl format my 8 GB usb key. format went ok and freedos also installed in it. the partiton was formatted as ntfs but when i try to boot with it i get a screen saying GRLDR and nothign else, keeps stucking there. what is wrong? what i need to do?

Guys i DIDN't use ANOTHER usb key to make it bootable, why you say another? I used the SAME usb stick and booting linnux with it and installing linux with this usb key its a proof its bootable. But i recall that with GParted in ubuntu i firstly created a FAT partition, FAT32 wouldnt boot. Maybe the solution here is to be able to format somehow my 8GB usb key as FAT? But tools wont do it becaus ethey say volume tis too big. With gparted i could format it as FAT of 2 GB tops! but at least it let me do it while hp format tool dont. I know that the usb key its able to boot, i just somehow need to try to format it as FAT before i use the links you gave me. Do you know how can i format it as FAT?

But being able to boot from my usb key after using a linux app of course its a proof that my usb key is bootable, otherwise it wouldnt boot linux. As for partiotion/formating a format my usb key with winsetupfrom usb internal utility called HP Format utility, i didnt mess with it myself so why didnt it partitioned/formatted properly? Which tool form that page should i download?

The formattign of my usb was done with the HP Fromat utility i invoked within the winsetup tool. yes i can boot soemhting for example i was able to create a bootable linxu usb key with a linux tool, so i do know that my mobo can work with usb keys in order to boot. The problem is that with the linxu app i was able to cret a bootable usb key only if i formatted it as FAT, not fat32 and ntfs perahps due to the oddness of my mobo. But ehre in windows my usb key is 8 GB and when i try to format it as FAT it says to me that the volume is too big, so what can i do?

Hello i just downloaed WinSetupFromUSB v2.1 I want to be able to create a bootable Win7 USB disk So i opened the tool formatted in ntfs and poot /boot and /sources data from the extractes win7 iso i downlaoed to this folder i created d:\vista i checked the option Vista/7setup... and select the vista folder that i created there. i started the process all files copied successfully but when i tries to boot the usb key it said to me i Cannot read from the disk. Press ctrl-alt-del so i did the same process again formattting the usb key in fat32 this time. no error message there in boot process just a blank screen with a cursor blinking and nothign else. i tried as 3rd attempt to make a FAT usb key but it said to big volume(my usb key is 8 GB) i tried all the above step to create a vista bootable usb key this time and i got same error messages again. What might be the problem? Thanks a lot for your attention! Please help me out cause neither one win7 iso i d/l so far was i be able to install it via dvd, so my only choic is to create a win7 bootable usb key.
