angus Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Hi, I encountered problems of installing Windows 7 from USB. Let me describe my procedure to do that and show you what happens as follows.Procedure to make a bootable USB for Windows 7:1) Reference the link http://www.hiren.info/pages/bootcd-on-usb-disk and do the same things step by step.2) After installing Grub4Dos, Extract and copy all files from DVD ISO of Windows 7 to my USB stick.3) Edit and add a title for menu.lst under the root of USB stick.title Install Windows 7find --set-root /bootmgrchainloader /bootmgrAn error message is shwon after entering "Install Windows 7" in Grub4Dos:Windows Boot Manager says Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause etc, etc, then ->File: \Boot\BCDStatus: 0xc000000eInfo: An error occurred while trying to read the boot configuration data.Do I miss something to configure Grub4Dos or lacks of instructions to set the MBR of my USB stick? Need your kindly help, thanks a million!P.S My USB stick works here as an USB-HDD for ASUS P4C800-E motherboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
