Windows 7 on USB stick
For this you will need a legit copy of Windows 7 and one USB stick big enough to copy Windows install kit on it. First of all you need to format the USB stick as NTSF file system. By default, all USB sticks come as FAT32 so you will need to format them as NTFS. If you go in Windows Explorer and try to format as NTFS file system, you will find that this option isn’t there at all. For this you have to go to Device Manager -> Disk Drives and right click on USB. A new windows will appear then go to Policies tab and chose Best Performance. Click OK then you will see that the option to format the USB stick as NTFS will show up.Windows 7 on USB stick
Setting up a bootable USB is as easy as this… On our case F: is the DVD drive with Windows 7 DVD and G: is the USB drive. Replace those letters with your own. For comparison purposes I left the entire process un-edited so you can see where it pauses. If your PC seems to freeze, don’t worry… some files are larger than others and all of them need to be copied. After you formatted the USB stick as NTFS file system, open command prompt (RUN – cmd) and type the following:
xcopy F: G: /e /h
G:
cd boot
bootsect /nt60 G:
That’s all!!
