Installing windows vista/7 using a pendrive ......

Recently my dvdwriter stopped working .But i want to format my system as it was badly hit by virus.I thought how for a long time ...........after a couple of minutes.I remembered the most infamous "diskpart" .Using this command we can do many interesting things .Ill cover the rest of da tricks in my next tutorials.Lets get to work now


Insert your USB flash drive and enter the following commands:
(please note this list assumes that your usb flash drive will be seen as disk 1 to confirm that it is type "list disk" after you've entered the diskpart command)


Goto run type diskpart press enter


  1. diskpart
  2. select disk 1
  3. clean
  4. create partition primary
  5. select partition 1
  6. active
  7. format fs=fat32
  8. assign
  9. exit

The final preparation step is to copy the installation files to your flash drive, this can be done by running the following command:
(please note D: is the drive letter for the source files and E: is the drive letter for your flash drive if they are different on your system you need to change them accordingly)

xcopy d:\*.* /s/e/f e:\ (instead of xcopy u can also use robocopy)

Thats it, configure usb device as primary boot device in your bios and install.
