I was searching for way on how to install windows 7 on a net book which does not have a dvd drive, and I have the windows 7 dvd. After some googling I found out a way on how to install windows 7 from a USB drive but the overall process is quite geeky in the end so my layman friend cannot follow this method.
Then I came across a free tool being developed by one the readers at AskVG this free app is called A Bootable USB It lets you create a bootable USB drive to install windows 7, vista or even windows server 2008 directly from a USB Drive.
Here is how you can create a bootable USB Drive with windows 7 setup on it.
Follow are some requirements in order to use this tool
1. You will need a USB Drive ( Size 4GB or more )
2. You will need Windows 7, Vista or Server 2008 DVD Drive or ISO Image

Either select the DVD Drive option or ISO Image option depending on your requirement and once the process is complete, you can use the bootable USB Drive t install windows 7 or Vista or Server 2008 but you will need to make sure that the computer or laptop on which you want to install windows 7 should support booting with a USB Drive, you can check the same in BOIS settings.

You can even install windows 7 from an iso image… Just mount it using some image mounting softwares like PowerIso and run the setup without rebooting.. The setup will then copy files.. Choose Custom Install and then select the drive on which you want to install.. and you are done..
