A clarification, for those that may not realize that this MS tool is not only for ISOs downloaded from MS. It can be used on an ISO created from your MS Retail/Upgrade/OEM disc. You can use this free app to create the ISO:
The Official ImgBurn Website
And then use the MS tool to create the bootable flash drive.
It works great!

Good work I used to do this via the command line way and don't forget everyone this is not just for net-books can be used even on a desktop for a faster install time. Lastly it will save your DVD needing to be used for future re installs.

Update it has come to me that the link is now down due to Microsoft breaking the GPL

*PeterT* · 11-16-2009, 09:51 PM

Glad I got a copy while it was available. It's a nice little tool.

I got it off of another site.
I've used it once, it is a lot nicer then the cd.
Saves the wear and tear on the W-7 disk.......

Flash drive and (I think) ssd/hdd installs should be way faster than a cd install. I can personally say that a flash drive install is super-fast on my current system.

Yup..Spooky fast compared to a ROM install. I have an image of Win 7 Ultimate. Even burning it as slow as I could I kept getting an error that stated I was missing cd-rom driver files. So I put the image on a 8g USB drive via the command line route. Worked like a charm. Easily the fastest OS install I ever did. I hadn't heard of the M$ tool at the time.

**Sylar** · 01-12-2010, 05:13 PM

Yep the cmd line way is good to I used it before the tool.

Here is an updated link to the microsoft tool. This should be fast from a USB 3.0 thumb drive to a SSD.

radeonized2 · 02-15-2012, 05:29 AM

Yea it will be very fast.

Here is a better link that has all the languages included and all versions. These have the Windows 7 .iso files with SP1 included.
