Bootable USb - Can't Get PROMPT Screen
May 15, 2009
There's quite good info on creating bootable USB sticks for Windows 7 install
It all works
BUT - You don't get the prompt - "Please press any key to boot from the CD".
Now I LIKE this prompt as it means you can do an "Unattended" install
If your system boots up during installation (usually does at least once) then you'll get the "Copying Windows" start up stuff all over again.
Anyway to get the USB stick to behave EXACTLY as the CD does with the boot prompt.

bootable image that contains a command prompt other than the windows 7 install or recovery disks. I just did some troubleshooting today, and I'm not exactly an expert, so I had to keep booting back into the disk after verifying that my fixes didn't work .

I have had my new computer with windows 7 from Dell for almost 2 years. I have never had any problems with it until yesterday. All of a sudden I can't login with my password. I am the only one who uses my computer. I called Dell and gave them my express code service #, etc. and I have already paid them enough! I went searching on how to resolve this and one thing I found I need to get into safe mode with command prompt. Well, I did and it loads files and then goes right to logon screen without allowing me to enter any command prompts.

I have a new pc (Windows 7) and the moment I got it home the screen display diminished so that it was something like three quarters of the full screen, with black bands on either side and having to swivvle from left to right to read the full contents of the screen. I must later have pressed something inadvertently, as it decided to be full screen again! However, it is back to three quarters format and I haven't been able to find any useful guidance as to how to get it back to full screen again. This is driving me mad!

then the desktop finally loads. It only lasts about 60 seconds before BSOD'ing again. Safe Mode seems ok, but I was in the process of typing up this thread when safe mode shut down on me randomly. I've tried restoring to earlier points and running malware scans. Minidumps are included.

Ok So I got myself into a unique bind here. I was trying to install some custom system files (for a theme) and I did it wrong and now I cant open explorer.exe . I dont want to goto a backup because this is a easy fix. (in my view). So I need to know how to run command prompt with administrative privleges from command prompt.
I am trying to do this command: copy explorer.exe C:Windows
So if there is also another command I can just tack onto that that gives me admin rights to do it. I would be happy.

After I install the software I need on the SSD I would like to make a bootable copy of the SSD and install it on the HDD to have as a boot able backup. I have read many posts about this yet cannot understand what I need to do.

i'm looking into getting a thumb drive and i was wondering what you guys think would be best?
i know there are a million different brands but i was looking for something to load a Windows 7 build onto and install quickly.
i've been using dvd's and its cool to see all of them in order from 7000 to 7100 but after all the clean installs i'm doing i know dvd's aren't the quickest.
so! what type of USB should i get and how do i make it bootable?

Have two HDD, one with Windows 7 professional 1TB SATA and other older win XP sp3 160gb SATA. To keep working environment separate, I use one HDD at a time, disconnecting other HDD. It used to work fine except 2 days back, when I had shut down winXP 160GB HDD with hibernation and after detaching that sata cord and reconnecting 1 TB sata cord, there was a major startup failure. With Windows 7 DVD RE, after opening system recovery dialogue box, no options were working including startup repair, system image recovery and system restore. In command prompt, c drive could not be detected. However, after bootrec.exe/fixmbr win 7 started but is a bit slower.How to avoid this problem? Does hibernation of one HDD interferes with startup of other HDD even though no RAM changes take place?. Does frequent change of HDD like this cause hardware/software damage?Specs - Core 2 duo 1.83ghz, 946gzis mb, 2gb RAM, ATI radeon 4850 512mb, VIP 600w smps.

Someone want to explain how the hell you make a bootable ISO from these leaked builds?
Everything I try is FUBAR.
Edit: Okay..nevermind..I Frankenstein it and figured it out finally..I just copied the install files onto my USB flash drive and rebooted and set to boot to USB drive.
No need for an ISO
Edit 2: ...Okay..I give up..I get an error during install saying Windows can't install the required files. The file may be corrupt or missing. bla bla
Anyone else getting this with the 32bit leaked copy that just came out?

I'm using an HP laptop and made a bootable flash key with the Microsoft utility (which I downloaded from Microsoft) to make a Windows 7 installation. I(supposedly) changed the boot order in the bIOS to look first at the key. Didn't work - booted directly into Windows 7 (seemingly bypassed the bootable key)1. How do I tell if the USB key is bootable?2. What could have prevented my BIOS from remembering my new boot order?3. What might be the reason(s) why my laptop won't boot from the USB key?�HP Pavilion dv5t-1000 CTO Entertainment Notebook PCSerial Number: CNF84816H3 Product Number: kq573av

I am trying to make my 1TB eGo USB 2.0 Desktop Hard Drive bootable. I am running Win 7. The bios hardware supports booting from a USB drive, and I am able to select the USB drive from the boot menu. But when I choose the USB drive, I get: A disk read error occurred Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart I am able to read/write from the USB drive normally via Win 7 with no problems, but I am missing that something "bootable" - what is it? I used bootsect make the USB drive bootable.(the USB drive is formatted NTFS and could this matter � my computer is formatted 64 bit and the USB drive is formatted with whatever you get when you select NTFS -would that be 64bit in my case?)

Whereas it was possible for my computer to boot from a USB key until now (there is the BIOS option to make it choose USB device in priority on boot), it does not work anymore : When I use a bootable USB, it goes directly on windows When I use a brand new and not bootable USB I don't even have the black screen with "missing operating system" I used to have.

If there is someone who is willling to explain me correct way step by step,I'll be really greatful.

I have to overwrite a windows 7 64 bit OEM with a windows 7 64 bit professional iso I got (yes I obtain it legally). I burned it onto a disc using a just a regular burning software that came with my computer(macbook pro), but you can't do that can you? You have to use a certain program that turns it into a bootable dvd, right? Am I correct or am I just taking nonsense.
