Craig321 Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 Very nice. Might have to put Windows 7 on my pen drive and install from that tomorrow then. **** UPS didn't deliver today.
nitroshift Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 Thanks for sharing this Creating a USB drve right now...
awergh Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 looks good and much easier then some of those long guides ive seen.
jrf2027 Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 (edited) Good to see MS is making a utility to allow installs of Win 7 from a flash drive. Installation is much quicker, and quieter without the DVD drive spinning at full speed.Anybody know if this works for any Win 7 media, or just media purchased for download from the Microsoft Store?

MagicAndre1981 Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 it works for all ISOs. I've tried it with a Technet Windows 7 ISO

ajua Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 Thanks for the info. I will pass it to some friends that are still in the process of migrating data before installing Windows 7.I may not use it because I already have a Win7 source in a dedicated USB stick since the early betas to do unattended installs.
victor888 Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 This is not a nice tool but a foolish one.It must format your flash disk and must make it with ntfs file type.In fact, xcopy + bootsect can finished this work quickly.No contribution does it made to the copitablility of USB boot.
jaclaz Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 The good news (or bad news ) are:the:http://store.microsoft.com/Help/ISO-Toolreturns:Sorry, the page you are looking for cannot be found.You can try searching our site using the Microsoft Store search box above, or you can browse our site using one of the links below.And look which results do you have actually searching:http://store.microsoft.com/search.aspx?tsq=iso-toolPage is cached here (at least right now):http://209.85.135.132/search?q=cache:Ry9mm...ool%22&cd=3The link to the Windows7-USB-DVD-tool.exe is not there anymore.The tool requires required .Net, in order to be simple and small.....jaclaz
