alrichdesa Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 I went through many linux forums to see this question unanswered several times. Here's the problem: I'm running Linux Ubuntu 10.04, I downloaded the 90 day Enterprise version of Windows 7(Giving it a try). It is in the form of an ISO. What I want is to make a Bootable Windows 7 USB using the ISO I downloaded. There are several tools out there, but NONE of them allow us to make Bootable Windows USB Sticks 'From/Within Linux'. I'm running out of options as all my computers at home run Linux. Can somebody help me out? (Please don't suggest going to a friend's place, I am very busy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilko_t Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Format the USB key in NTFS if you have files above 4GB, or FAT32 if not.Install grub4dos bootloader, or chainload it:http://diddy.boot-land.net/grub4dos/Grub4dos.htmhttp://www.boot-land.net/forums/index.php?showforum=66Extract contents of the ISO in the USB disk, as they are. Next create a menu entry to chainload bootmgr. That's it.Or with syslinux:http://www.boot-land.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=8457You can install and use any other bootloader which can chainload bootmgr.
