Create a Bootable Windows 7 USB Drive From an ISO File [Downloads]

Windows Only: I needed to create a USB boot device for an Asus netbook that was getting a clean install of Windows 7.  I found this easy utility to make the USB drive bootable from the ISO image of the operating system disk. I would assume this also works with ISO images of Linux as well, but I haven’t tried it.

  1. Download the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool and install the program.
  2. Run the software and choose the location of the ISO file

  3. Chose USB Device as the media type

  4. Insert your USB drive into the computer, make sure the drive is at least 4gb

  5. The Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool software will format your USB drive (and erase any files already on the drive), make the drive bootable, and then copy the files onto the USB drive.
