How to install Windows 7 with flash

Netbooks are usually not equipped with DVD drives. The situation is very difficult for us when they want to re-install windows if damaged. But there are several alternatives that can be taken to work around this. The trick is as follows:

1. Copy all installation files to your hard drive. This you can do if you are planning to make your Netbook dual boot or have two operating systems. For example Windows XP on Drive C and then Windows 7 in Drive D.
2. Using External DVD Drive
3. An alternative that could be an option is Install Windows 7 by using the flash.


The third alternative, it has been accommodated by Microsoft specifically for netbook owners who are not equipped with DVD drives. Following that need to be prepared:
     * Flashdrive (flash) at least 4GB
     * Daemon tool / virtual drives for mounting Win7 *. iso / dvd Windows 7
     * Cmd vista / Win7. if xp flash drive not detected

then,open  cmd & run as administrator

PART 1

type

    diskpart



to see what disc type
    list disk



I'll look there is any disk. Then select your flash drive with the assumption that disk 1 is the flash us.
    select disk 1



delete all data and configuration on the flash by typing
    clean


Then create a new partition
    create partition primary



because only create 1 partition, immediately select the partition

    select partition 1



and switch with
    active



after that, format with NTFS filesystem
    format fs=NTFS



mount the partition
    assign



exit diskpart
    exit





PART 2

who moved to the drive mount dvd windows 7; assume drive g:
    g:

    cd g:boot




install bootsector; assume i: flash drives
    bootsect /nt60 i:



After that, copy all the files I had inside mount dvd drive which Windows 7 earlier. Then we just install as usual. Thank You. Hopefully useful.
