Digital Home Thoughts: Got Netbook? Get Windows 7 Installed Through USB

"This guide works 100% for Vista & Windows 7 unlike most of the guides out there. I have seen many sites/blogs that have “Install Vista from USB guide” but either with incomplete steps or not working guide. I have also seen some guides that don’t’ use proper commands in this guide. After spending many hours I have come up with this 100% working guide."

Into Windows has thrown up a guide showing you how you can install Windows Vista or Windows 7 onto your computer using a USB drive. While Windows usually gets installed from a CD or DVD, some computers, especially netbooks, lack that option. So thumb drives are becoming the preferred media for installation and upgrades. Rumours have been floating around the Internets saying that Microsoft is investigating an official upgrade version of Windows on USB drives, but why wait? The instructions on setting up your own USB Install Drive is fairly easy for the technically minded, and it is a lot handier to do things from a teeny, sturdy drive than weak, brittle, scratch prone optical media. I have a few computers that have been stuck at XP and lack a drive. I think I know what I'll be doing after Windows 7 is released.
