Windows 7 USB installer

October 12, 2011 by Igor Drobot Leave a Comment

I hate CDs and DVDs, we are living in digital world and one gigabyte cost at the time about 0,03€ cents. I try to copy everything on my flash drives and HDDs. This post will show you how you can throw away your windows seven CD/DVD.

Insert a 8 or 16GB usb flash drive in your USB port. Careful! this flash drive will be formatted and all your data will be lost!

Create NTFS-filesystem on your flash drive:

1
mkfs.ntfs /dev/sda1

mkfs.ntfs /dev/sda1

Insert your Windows installer medium CD/DVD or mount a previous created ISO-Image:

1
mount windows7.iso /media/iso -t udf -o loop

mount windows7.iso /media/iso -t udf -o loop

Copy the content of your CD/DVD or the *.iso Image:

1
cp -R /media/iso/* /media/MyFlashDrive

cp -R /media/iso/* /media/MyFlashDrive

Reboot and boot from USB;)
