Install Windows 7 from USB using XP

[aviv00]

there a better way to install

just apply the wim image to ur boot drive like c:\

[code: imagex /apply... or gimagex or 7-zip]

copy the boot folder from dvd to boot drive

and bootmgr file from the dvd to boot drive

use easybcd to update the mbr to load the new boot manager

add "windows 7" to boot menu

make c:\boot\bcd accessible to everyone

reboot ur system and start the setup by entering Windows vista or 7

notices:

add windows xp too if u dual booting

make a Windows PE at another Hdd drive or CD Disk for recovery

Hey, 

 

Hopefully you will reply, but I've been trying out your method but I'm stuck at step 1.

My usb had an error code 10 and I do not know how to solve it.

Help? Thanks

That's because you're in the wrong place to ask/try.

Obsolete methods. Note the date of the last post is 2009?

The following is where you should go (actually works).
