In order to do that, first you need to make a bootable USB drive and load the vista operating system files on that. Making a bootable Windows Vista installation USB drive is far simpler than doing so for Windows XP because the utility is built into the operating system and can be deployed from the Command Prompt itself.
All you would need is. Here the Diskpart utility is instructed to choose the disk 1 as the drive to be worked on. This command clears out all the information of the volumes, partitions, boot sectors and the MBR from the USB flash drive. This command will create a primary partition on the USB flash drive. This command instructs the Diskpart utility to select the newly created partition.
This is also what happens if you run something like XP or Vista and you mount the Win7 installation DVD as a virtual optical device - you can install it from that method because the file copy process copies everything and after that, the media isn't needed anymore Regardless, it does help with the biggest time chunker, the copying. Even on fast DVD drives, the random access speeds and moving the laser assembly around Neat stuff Joined Apr 2, Messages 1, Thanks for the guide man.

You can use an ISO file just fine. Thats how I did all my Win7 installations. Mount the ISO Then follow the guide. This is how most people here are doing Win7 installations, no need to burn a disk needlessly. Tip The steps described on this page assume you have Windows installation media and access to a Windows technician PC. Windows installation media. This could be an installation. This drive will be formatted, so make sure it doesn't have any important files on it. Note If Mark Partition as Active isn't available, you can instead use diskpart to select the partition and mark it active.
Note Windows Setup automatically installs from this file, so long as you name it install. You answered. I was just going to say I would ask my brother ;o Get your Gravatar registered bro! Help please. I was stuck without step 5 for far too long. Lo and behold, when i try to boot off of it, it failed. Is this method still applicable only in Vista systems? Or can I do it in an XP system?
This solution can be used for vista, windows server and windows 7. So I had to find an old 1gb drive to get it working. After a bit of web sleuthing, I finally found a working solution.
Now we are happily running Server […]. Wow, thanks so much for posting this. The best step by step process for installing Vista on a USB for installation.
Mine is working as we speak. I just wanted to comment and say thanks! Damn, this sounds legit. Thanks for the post. Knew this could be done.
