Hey Guys, I was trying to use that Win 7 USB.DVD Tool that MS released and I was having problems using it. My Win 7 Ultimate (x64) I got a free copy from attendinf those MS Conferance for Win 7 Launch. Everytiime I point the tool to the ISO, I getting the following error, "The Selected File is Not a Valid ISO, Please Select a Valid ISO and Try Again." Has anyone else had this issue. Please help me out guys.

Thank You! :thumbup

You don't really need it, although it is nice when it works. It takes three steps to accomplish this manually (using a Vista or Win7 host makes this a bit easier later on):

1. Clean, partition, format, and mark active the primary partition on the USB key (this should be obvious) via diskpart - FAT32 or NTFS, your choice

2. Create an /nt60 bootsector on the key via bootsect.exe

3. Copy the contents of the ISO to the USB key

That's it. Bootable USB install key.
