Before installing Windows 7, you need to prepare a bootable USB flash drive or disk.
Let's talk about how to burn an image to a flash drive.
Most often recorded Windows image 7 to USB disk with U programs ltra ISO or Windows7 USB DVD tool. These programs require labor-intensive settings and the results are not always positive.
Make sure you don't have any important data on it beforehand. Additionally, repositories modified by this application can still be used to transfer data without interfering with the download function. The program will guide you through the settings step by step. Both could be your last chance to get to the data or how to clean your system of pests. Finally, software loads necessary files and writes them to the target media.
If you are still having problems with your system, you still have your own personal rescue squad. So you can consider different scenarios to save your data. Before you start, you should think carefully about which tools you really need, because the more tools you choose, the longer it will take to load. The program can create a dual-boot installation or completely replace an existing one operating system.
And there is a small, simple program called Rufus. It does not require any settings, but it always works quickly and reliably and, according to the developer, this program writes an image many times faster than other programs. You can download it here: http://rufus.akeo.ie/.
Launch Rufus, the program does not require installation on your computer, just run the downloaded file.
Simply select the image file and the corresponding output media. Using the application is very simple and you just need to follow four simple steps to create an installation disk. Preliminary program will format the portable drive. If there are important files on it, you need to make a backup.
Data disc writing, rewritable media
Everything else is done automatically. There are also options to run antivirus and system tools. For the ease of use of this tool, which less experienced users are aware of. Easily create data disks with backup copy your documents or photos that you want to share with friends or family members. If you mess something up, you can delete them at any time and try again with the same media.
Rufus automatically detects your USB drive, which is displayed in the top line.
The next position is MBR, let's leave it as it is. The program itself determines the necessary recording parameters.
We leave the file system as NTFS.
The cluster size is 4096 bytes, note that the size is the same as when formatting.
Specify the path to ISO image, click on the button marked with the arrow below. After this, an entry appears in the “New volume label” field. I edited this entry to make it clearer for myself.
After inserting the blank media into the drive, open the My Computer window from the Start menu. Double-click the burner icon. The system then asks how you want to write the data to the inserted disc. Then you can close it or add another track. The advantage is that this disc is readable even on other operating systems and devices. You can also make the most of your media.
After selecting one of the options, enter the drive label and click Next. The disc will be formatted or ready for recording. To do this, proceed as follows. But they will not be burned immediately. When displaying media content, only a list of added files appears. You can do the burning yourself by clicking the Burn to Disk button on the File Manager toolbar.
Greetings, friends! This article will talk about creating bootable usb Flash drives with Windows 7 on it. That is, we will learn how to write to a flash drive Windows distribution 7 so that later you can use this flash drive to reinstall the operating system. The need for such a flash drive arises more often among owners of netbooks and laptops with a non-working disk drive. Also for those people who prefer installing windows from a flash drive rather than from a disk.
Insert the disc into the drive, click "My Computer" to label it, and click the "Delete this button" on the toolbar. All you need to do is click Next and wait for a while to clean up the drive. Please note that the drive icon also changes after deletion. The system removes file presence information from the table from which the reader collects information about the file on the media.
The file remains physically present, you cannot access it. Some burning programs allow you to decide whether you want to quickly or slowly erase the data on the rewritable disc. With a quick delete, the table listing the files is only deleted; they are physically present on the media until they are overwritten by new data. Until then they can also be read using special programs. Complete removal then it will take care of completely removing the file from the media.
Before we move on to the process itself, I would like to draw your attention to the fact that installing an OS from a flash drive has several advantages over installing from a disk. First of all, this is durability, we all know that CDs sooner or later get scratched, become dull and it becomes impossible to install windows from them - errors appear and freeze during installation. This will not happen with flash drives; you can store files on them for as long as you like. The second advantage of flash drives is read/access speed. Almost always windows installation It's faster from a flash drive than from a disk.
In the new window, click "Record". Launch the program, and then click the "Burn image to disk" button. In the "Source" field, select the file and find the disk image. Check your settings and press the big button to record. Recording music in this program is quite simple. First, browse your music library with the playlist you want to record.
Now drag and drop files to burn into the desired sidebar using the playlist of the future CD. Observe the full indicator. In this case, it does not matter how large the original music files are, but the length of the individual tracks is taken into account.
But there are also disadvantages. Very old models motherboards cannot boot from a flash drive and in this case you will have to make do with installing from a disk or try flashing the BIOS.
What you need to create a bootable USB flash drive for Windows 7
You need a USB flash drive, windows iso image 7 and the UltraISO program. Previously, I recommended using the UltraISO program to burn an image to disk. Today we will burn an image using it to a flash drive.
Preparation begins in a similar way - you will see a list of files on future media. The fill factor changes over time.

You can choose a different control design from the Scene Styles menu.
We take a flash drive based on the size of the image, or vice versa, if you have a flash drive with a capacity of 4 gigabytes, then take an image of a slightly smaller size. I will write the 3.66 GB image onto a 4 GB flash drive. So let's get started.

If you want to save space on your computer, you can remove the recovery image from your computer and use a recovery disk instead.
In the search box, enter the recovery block text, and then click the Create Drive button or click the Create button. If your computer does not have a recovery partition, this checkbox is grayed out. The recovery module will only contain backup and executable image utilities, but not a recovery image that you could use to restore your computer or restore it to factory settings.

This process will take some time depending on the computer and the size of the image to be restored. Once this process is complete, do one of the following: If you want to save the recovery partition on your computer, click the Finish button.

- The disk space occupied by the recovery images will be released.
- When you're done deleting, select "Done."
- On some computers, the option to delete the recovery partition is not available.
If, instead of starting to write the image to the flash drive, the line “You need to have administrator rights...” appears in the window, then you did not run the UltraISO program as an administrator and you need to start all over again, but AS AN Administrator.
10. If a line with the text “Start recording” appears, then everything is in order, wait a few minutes.
Copying files to a prepared flash drive
Backup files contain the original operating system, drivers, and software that were pre-installed on your computer. It is actually a copy of the original computer code that makes up the files themselves.
