How To Create Bootable Windows 7, Vista, or XP USB FlashPen Drive Quickly. Win. 2flash is great, but it cant and I quote the title of this post How To Create Bootable Windows 7, Vista, or XP USB FlashPen Drive Quickly. It can only make a bootable install disk of Vista, win. XP. Also, the following isnt trueand I quote the author again Now you can create Windows 7, Vista, or the old XP bootable USB key with a few clicks. Yup, this is true. In order to boot the bootable install usb so you can now install the chosen OS, not run it as the post mistakenly states, you must disable the quick removal setting on it first, and set it to performance. You also have to format the said usb key with NSTF. Once youve done all that, just chossing your OS imagefile wont work either. The imagefile must be extracted first. So if you want what the title says a bootable Windows OS on a usb key youre out of luck. But if you want to be able to install FROM a usb key, Win. LASH should work if you follow the authors instructions plus set the usb to performance, format it with NSTF and extract your OS installation imagefile before you try to select it. What may happen after you do all of this remembering to change the boot priority or choice to USB HDD in Bios, can be harrowing. Instructions are very ambiguous and not all BIOSs will follow even these instructions. The only advice here is to email Win. Flash support and see if they cant clean up the boot gui and maybe add an english, clear and concise txt help file concerning what it is you have to do when trying to boot from your USB. If you utilize the poke, push and madly press method trial and error, and try again ad finitum then it is most likely you will hit on something that will actually have you running the install OS from your USB. I recommend that you write down everything you do exactly, as you do it if you use the aforementioned, crazy method. I used it and didnt write anything down. I may never be able to duplicate running the install from my usb again.
