Just purchased my first Windows 7 Professional (64-bit) PC (Hewlett Packard). No media was supplied with the machine and I have been advised that media is not shipped anymore (apparantley it is Microsoft's way of ensuring media cannot be loaded onto several systems).
Reading comments on the internet it seems clear that I have to make an ISO file, but I'm unsure what directory/files I need to pick and copy.

The tutorial for creating the bootable XP disc worked great and I would like to have a backup with SP1 on it for my Win7 Home Premium x64 (retail version). I didn't see anything in the Win 7 tutorials, maybe it can't be done with 7, but if it can I would do it so I have the cd with SP1 on it already.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm using Windows 7 Professional as a 32 bit version. Now I want to install Windows 7 Professional 64 bit on my machine from my USB drive. The problem is that my machine doesn't boot from the USB drive. Anyway, I've tried with a 32 bit version of Windows 7 on my USB drive. This works well, but not with a 64 bit version. Why it doesn't work? Just to be on the safe side, I've tested it several times with other USB drives and followd thoroughly the instructions(diskpart).

View 3 Replies View Relatedmy main pc got a new motherboard and requires a fresh install of windows 7. Ok, I have the windows 7 iso and I have the motherboard installed into my computer. I put the ISO on my flash drive but when I booted from the flash drive I got "Reboot and select a proper boot device or insert media in selected device and press a button." After 2 days and countless hours searching I can not get this to work. The computer I am on right now is a Windows XP 32x laptop. Is it even possible for me to make a usb drive loaded with windows 7 ultimate 64x for another computer? With every step by step guide I found on how to do this they either said to use the Windows 7 usb dvd download tool (which is what I have been using since the beginning to no avail) or do it manually. To do it manually involves the Diskpart feature of the command prompt, which on xp, doesnt detect flash drives. So...I cant do it manually.tell me if I have to reinstall my old motherboard (heatsink installation is a pain which is why I dread installing motherboards) and then upon reinstalling old motherboard do I have to set up my flash drive (again) and hope I didnt mess up just to rip the motherboard back out and put the new new one back in and hope the usb boots this time?

View 1 Replies View RelatedBasically I am taking over the imaging process where I work. I will to start configuring our application to create universal images.
The first thing I would like to know is, I created a bootable (tested and used) Windows 7 64bit Enterprise USB flash drive. I would like to make this universal so when a new machine comes in I can either add new drivers if need and install from the USB.
Currently I have to install the drivers after the installation of windows has completed. Which folder in can I add the drivers into? I am thinking of creating sub folders for each model and another subfolder for the type of driver ie. video, nic etc I also created an autounattended.xml file and it always halts at the create partition wizard. If I manually install windows, windows 7 will create a second partition that is 100mb. I read in forums where most people only create 1 partition. Does it matter how many my autounattened file will create?
After installing windows 7, I have had a heck of a time trying to figure out what is wrong or if I got a bad ISO or what. Whenever I restart without a bootable cd or dvd in the drive, it gives me "invalid system disk, replace the disk, and then press any key" Now i pop in the windows 7 disk, control alt delete, and when it restarts it loads windows up just fine. Tried switching the primary boot as the hard disk and not the dvd player and still get this error. Had my mobo drivers disk in and its bootable and it booted windows 7 right up. Is something messed with the boot manager or is it just a bad ISO?

Now days i hardly try to solve my laptop problem with re-installing it's windows. it has a Home premium 64bit windows with a sticky serial number. My laptop Model is: Dell xps l501 A with two usb 3 socket. the reason that i want to install the windows from a usb is my DVD rom has problems and can't reading any DVD disk, So I created a bootable usb 3 windows installer with the official program and boot windows installer from it. after a fast loading the language and location windows appeared and i hit the next and after that hit the install button. after a fast loading this error page appeared: "A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing. If you have a driver floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash drive, please insert it now seems like the installer don't detect my flash drive , because in browse windows i can see only my pc drives and dvd rom drive.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am trying to get Windows 7 up-and-running on my Toshiba M200 tablet with an SSD.
The problem is that I do not have an external DVD and these machines don't allow booting from USB.
I've managed to get a fresh install onto the drive by installing it onto a partition of the old disk based drive and then copying this over using Norton Ghost. Unfortunately I cannot get this to boot, which I assume is a problem with the MBR.
I have a second machine running Windows 7, and If I mount the SSD using a USB caddy it all seems healthy and is marked as an active partition. Is there any way to get this drive booting without being able to load up the repair functions on the DVD?

I know about creating a bootable USB or a bootable DVD. But I dont want to format my USB drive to make it a bootable USB device. My Questions are--
1. Instead are there any ways to boot from a file in a USB flash drive, without formatting and making a bootable USB device?
2. I would also like to learn about the basics of high level formatting. I searched google and have read articles at kioskea and howstuffworks, but none has exclusive easy articles on How Formatting Works and How to Format any Disks (including USB drives).
I have a system with two harddrives, one with Vista and one with Win 7. Vista drive was used to boot the system. Recently Vista drive dies, so I tried to boot from Win 7 drive. Since bootsector isn't there I can't. How do I make the remaining Win 7 drive bootable?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI created a bootable key of Backtrack 5 using YUMI from Pendrivelinux. Choosing USB as first boot device allows me to access the key and choose to boot BT5. It doesn't seem to boot up properly but at least I can access the drive; so I should be able to format it, right? On booting to both/ either Win7 or Ubuntu 11.04, the drive isn't mounted. Under Win7, it's available only under Device Manager as an Unknown Device and comes complete with exclamation mark! It also seems to be listed under USB Controllers as a USB Mass Storage Device (properties say Device working properly!). There is also no listing of the drive under the Disk Management section of Administrative Tools/Computer Management. I have also tried Spotmau but the drive still doesn't show up. Any ideas of how to format the key? There is no data worth saving on it, as it can easily be rebuilt, but it's a handy 4Gb Kingston Datatraveller 102 stick.
