Progress is growing every yearmore rapidly, several years ago we could not imagine that floppy disks would go into oblivion, and today CD-disks are under the threat of "extinction" - indeed, because flash drives are much more convenient and compact. Many netbooks are no longer equipped with CD-DVD drives. In general, this does not bring any particular inconvenience, however, when it comes to reinstalling the system, which is usually performed from the disk, a problem appears before the user. However, it is very easy to solve. So, how to make an installation USB flash drive for Windows 7?

  2. Now in UltraISO, select the "Bootable" tab(Boot-up), in the drop-down menu - "Write Disk Image ..." (Write the image of the hard disk ...). We control the parameters of the window: in the field "Disk Drive" your flash drive should be indicated, in the field "Write Method:" - "USB-HDD +".
  3. Format the USB flash drive. In the same window, "Write Disk Image ..." select the "Format" button. In the window that appears, select "NTFS" in the "File System" menu, click the "Start" button. Immediately a warning window will appear, notifying that this process will destroy all data on the flash drive, and if, as they say, there is nothing to lose, we press the "OK" button in this window.
  4. When the formatting process is finished, thean appropriate window informing about it. We close it. Thus, before us only the "Write Disk Image ..." window appears again, click the "Write" button in it. As soon as the process of recording is over, the work will be done.
