Pere Windows installation is a very important and necessary process. In one case, you can update your old system to a newer one, or switch to some other modification of it. On the other hand, you made some mistakes during work, perhaps damaged system files or deleted some program that facilitates the normal operation of the OS, you also need to reinstall Windows.
But what to do if you do not have a drive for recording a new image onto a disc? In this case, the drive will help you, because USB input Surely everyone has both PCs and laptops. Let's take a closer look at how to burn Windows to a flash drive.
I would like to say right away that you can use any of the methods to write to a flash drive for each of the systems. However, if you want your bootable flash drive to serve you for a long time, and the system could be installed more than once, then it is recommended to follow the instructions that are presented for each system separately.
The fact is that the specifics of the iso files of each OS are slightly different from each other, which is why we conducted several tests to determine which program is better suited.
How to write Windows 7 to a USB flash drive
There are several ways to burn Windows 7 to a flash drive and we have looked at all possible working methods. The choice of which one to use is yours!
To successfully write an operating system image to a USB flash drive, we need the following tools and files:
- The UltraISO program itself, which can easily be found on the Internet by simply entering the phrase “Download...” into the search. After downloading the program, install it on your computer and select “Trial mode” when starting it if you only need it to record the image.
- Found on the Internet Windows image 7. We recommend taking only those images that are posted on popular torrent trackers, which have been checked several times for viruses and other heresies. Otherwise, you will simply burn a dangerous image that will damage your data on local drives.
- A flash drive with a capacity of at least 8 GB. This is the optimal size for a Windows 7 image; even “stuffed” images will fit. Please note that the flash drive will need to be formatted before installation, otherwise we will not be able to create a bootable one from it. If in the future you want to use this flash drive the same way as before, then simply format it again. Having the files you need on it, transfer them either to another flash drive or to a local drive other than the system one.
Now that we have everything ready, we can safely launch the program from the desktop and figure out how to burn Windows 7 to a flash drive using UltraISO.
So, first, open the “File” menu and select “Open” there. With this step we will open the iso file:
Remember where you saved the downloaded image, go to this directory, select the file with the image and click “Open”:
After opening the image by the program, we begin the process of recording the image. To do this, click on “Bootboot” in the menu and then click “Burn image” hard drive».
After selecting this function, you will receive a window in which you will need to specify some parameters for successful recording. So, in the “Recording method” field, select USB-HDD+, and in the “Storage” or “Disk Drive” field our flash drive should be displayed. Before you begin, you must format the flash drive. Click "Format" and after that another window will appear. The file system type in it should be “NTFS”, after checking, click “Start”. Confirm the start of formatting and wait for it to finish:
After the flash drive has been successfully formatted, select the “Burn” button in the hard disk image recording window and wait until the end of recording. Usually it doesn't take much time.
When finished, remove the drive and then reinsert it into the PC. In the explorer there should no longer be a regular one, but an installation one, with an image icon. Congratulations, the Windows 7 installation flash drive has been successfully burned.
How to burn Windows 7 to a USB flash drive using Rufus
Process windows records on usb using the Rufus program is similar to what is described below about the eight. There is no point in describing it twice - . In essence, only the image that we want to record changes.

How to burn windows 8 to a flash drive
Now let's figure out how to write an image of Windows 8 to a flash drive. The process is no more complicated than the previous version, in some moments even more interesting. So, the Rufus program is quite easy to find, its main advantage is that it is absolutely free, and also does not require special installation, as was the case with UltraISO. After downloading the program, run the .exe file.
Next, you will need to connect the USB flash drive that you will use to record the image. It, as in the case of Windows 7, must be at least 8 GB. IN open window program, select the drive that we prepared for the image in the “Device” item. In the next paragraph - “Partition scheme and system interface type”, you must select the “MBR for computers with BIOS, or UEFI” option so as not to tempt fate and create a working bootable drive.
Regarding the type of file system that should be on the flash drive, here, of course, we select NTFS, and leave the cluster size at the default. There is no need to change anything further, you just need to select the Windows 8 image we need. To do this, click on the disk icon next to “ISO image”, then select the .iso file and click “Open”.
Double-check all settings, because... any mistake can lead to a non-functional flash drive. After this, the program will begin the process of formatting the drive, if you saved all the files from it in advance, then continue, if not, now is the time.
That's it, at this moment the recording process begins bootable flash drive, you can go have tea or coffee. As soon as you see a successful recording notification, close Rufus. Check the flash drive: remove it and insert it again - if it is displayed with a picture of a Windows image, then now you know how to write Windows 8 to a flash drive using Rufus.

How to burn windows 10 to a flash drive
So we get to the new product - Windows 10. In principle, at the time of writing, it has already appeared in the world official version of this operating system and all users who have backed up the image in advance using the GWX program can download it via a standard bootloader and install it without any hassle. But, if you are not one of those users, then it’s okay, you can still use preview versions, of which there are a lot of freely available, and they differ in build dates and content.
Before you start burning a USB flash drive with Windows 10, make sure you have the following:
- Flash drive 8 GB.
- WinSetupFromUSB program, which is as easy to find as Rufus or UltraISO.
- Image of the preview version of “ten”.
When you have all this, you can start recording. Here we need to remember to format the flash drive before using the program, because... The program itself does not do this and assumes that the user can do it independently. To do this, go to Explorer and find the flash drive. Select it and press RMB, and then from context menu select: "Format". It is better to choose the file system NTFS, because the storage capacity is more than 4 GB. Leave the cluster size as standard:
Now you can run the WinSetupFromUSB program and then you need to prepare the flash drive. Since there is no boot sector yet, it needs to be created. This is done as follows:
To write a Windows 10 image to a flash drive using WinSetupFromUSB, return to the main program window and select the “Windows Vista|7|Server 2008” item with a check mark on the left, and on the right click on “…” and find the “tens” image we need. After that, click “GO” and wait for the “Job Done!” message. This completes the process of writing a drive with Windows 10. Again, check the flash drive as we did in the previous methods.
Now you know how to burn any of the Windows that people are actively using to a flash drive. Undoubtedly, you can find other methods, however, those presented by us work 100%, but if you have any questions, feel free to contact the author.
Hi all! Today is an interesting topic, how to burn a disc to a flash drive! In general we read)
How to transfer from disk to flash drive?
Sometimes I look at the site’s statistics and see what people are interested in. I have a popular topic, and usually people are looking for how to burn an image to a flash drive, and then I see a request: how to burn a disk to a flash drive...

At first I also thought whether such a program had really been written, but no, I couldn’t even find it on foreign sites, it wouldn’t be safe anyway)
1. First we make a disk image
I haven’t written an article about the UltraISO program yet, but the time has come, I just have a portable version.
Launch it, insert the disc into the CD-DVD-ROM and select create a CD image.
Now we select your flash drive, format it if necessary, but when recording, the program itself will format the flash drive and click write.

Hello, dear visitors of the Start-Luck blog. Some readers remember those times when we shared our videotapes, disks, books and then lost them in obscurity, forgetting which particular bad friend took “our charm.”
For modern people this is already such a rarity. Digital options include recording and re-recording. Even if you want to give something to someone, you can always make a copy with peace of mind and not worry about whether the information will be returned to you or not. It will remain at hand. This is what we will talk about today.
In this article I will tell you how to copy from a disk to a flash drive. simple method and using an ISO image. I will work on Windows 7, although essentially this is not so important. The steps won't be much different no matter which version you're using.
And, of course, we cannot do without video instructions, which will resolve any misunderstanding between me and those eager to know the information.
I think we can start now.
A simple way without programs
So, first of all, open the “My Computer” section. Then you need to insert your CD or DVD into the drive.
Some laptops do not have a dedicated disk drive. What to do in this case? I think you already know the answer to this question and have used it more than once boot disks in ISO format. You should have it now.
If this is your first time encountering this problem, I’ll explain. I already told you how to do this in one of my previous publications. Thanks to programs like Daemon Tools, we can easily solve this problem.
You won't have a physical disk, but the computer will start to "think" that the CD is inserted into the correct drive. Stop for a second, now you need to take a little break from the main task and solve a related one. My article will help you with this. After reading and “inserting” the image into the “disk drive”, return here.
As soon as you have solved the most important task and inserted a physical disk or its image, you will see an autorun window. Click on "View Files".
If the required window is not displayed, then you can right-click on the image or disk so that a dialog menu appears, in it select the “Open” function, or the same “Autorun”.
Now insert the flash drive into the USB port. This goodness is enough for any laptop or computer. Select the “Open folder to view files” section again. Again, if this does not happen, the right mouse button and the “Open” or “Autorun” function will help you.
As a result, you should have two windows with the “insides” of each disk. If this does not happen, simply open the CD/DVD, then in a new window go to the “My Computer” section and open the flash drive.
Copy files from the disk. Click on the ones you need, then right mouse button and the “Copy” function.
You can, of course, first open the disk and copy files from it, and then “open” the USB and insert everything you need there, but I wouldn’t want you to get confused.
Open a second window in which you have files from the flash drive, upload them there. Right button mouse and then the "Paste" option.
That's basically it. The problem is solved.
Video instruction
In this training video you can see how to load music onto a flash drive from a disk - where the buttons are located, in what order to press them, and so on. Everything is very detailed.
If you are confused in my text, then everything will become clear in just 3 minutes.
Some licensed discs with audio files have copy protection. What to do about it? The easiest way is to use special programs, which help to remove it.
This method should be treated with great caution, since there are no licensed utilities to help perform this task. This activity is not legal! Therefore, you may have to download files that may contain viruses. Personally, I'm afraid of such things. There is too much “valuables” hidden on my PC.
Considering how active hackers are now, this is a really serious issue. You can read articles such as “” or “” in my syllable.
Based on the previous words, I am not giving you any specific link to the program, but I am offering the training video, in the description of which you can find the download URL, for your information only. Know that such a method exists.
Creating an image and then overwriting it
We move on to disk images. What is this, I think you already understand. The same disk, only in digital format, intended for sharing with friends, deceiving the computer, saying that something has already been inserted into it, and so on.
In general, any image can simply be transferred from a computer to a flash drive without any problems using the same principle that I have already described. However, there is an alternative method.
This blog has a detailed article about . In it, I described in detail how to create an image and upload it, so you can read it by following the link.
To make this publication of mine more useful, I will leave you with only a video on this topic, which will allow those who are in a hurry to complete this task faster. I advise others, of course, to read the publication. It describes in detail everything that may be useful.
I recommend that you also download the licensed version of this program UltraISO from the siteAllsoft . Too much storage on any PC important information, which hackers can use to use pirated utilities with peace of mind. I wouldn't want your personal data to be hacked. The risks are too great.
Don't forget about antivirus software too. They, of course, are unlikely to get help from well-known scammers who operate on a serious scale, but there are only a few of them, and the interest in other people’s PCs is now enormous. This is very easy money. The phrase “This will never affect me” no longer works. Everyone is interested in you.
You can download a good antivirus from the same Allsoft website. For example, I like NOD32 .
That's all. Don't forget to subscribe to my VKontakte group . See you again and good luck.
Before installing the system, you need to understand how to burn a Windows 7 image to a USB flash drive, then configure your computer to install Windows 7, and begin the installation process. If you visited this page, then you are having difficulty creating a bootable USB flash drive or disk. Here you will find answers to all questions.
To record Windows image 7 on a flash drive you will need specialized tools. There are quite a lot of them, but we will describe them all. As an example, we'll talk about UltraISO, USB/DVD Download Tool and many others.
Step 1: What you need to burn a Windows 7 image
Any operating system image or programs is a common format that is recognized by most utilities. The most popular image format is ISO. It can be written to flash drives, hard disks, CD-DVD media. The format is somewhat similar to archive ZIP or RAR. In general, this is an optical disk image and is a single file or archive containing any other type of file. Modern operating systems already have built-in tools for working with the format. You can also use third party software: UltraISO, DAEMON Tools, Alcohol 120%, PowerISO, ImgBurn, ISO Master and many others.
Before choosing an OS image, you need to understand in advance the bit depth and the volume that it will occupy on the media. There are 32-bit systems (86x) and 64-bit systems (64x). Here you can learn about the differences between these bit depths. The volume of the systems also differs. Below is a table of all Windows editions 7 with system requirements:
| Editorial | RAM | Processors | CoresCPU | ||
| 32x | 64x | 32x | 64x | ||
| Windows 7 Ultimate |
4 GB |
192 GB |
|||
| Windows 7 Professional | |||||
| Windows 7 Enterprise | |||||
| Windows 7 Home Premium |
16 GB |
1 | |||
| Windows 7 Home Basic |
8 GB |
||||
| Windows 7 Starter |
2 GB |
||||
Using these characteristics, you can choose the system for yourself. In this material we will look at two programs, using which it is possible to write a Windows 7 image to a flash drive: UltraISO, USB/DVD Download Tool.
You can download tools from virus-free resources from here:
- USB/DVD Download Tool.
- UltraISO.
- Command line.
Step 2: How to burn a Windows 7 image to a USB flash drive using UltraISO
Download the program from the link above or from your source and install. Using trial version UltraISO can perform the intended task, so there is no need to look for a version with a key. After downloading and installing, perform the following steps (I also recommend reading the article if you work with optical media:)
- Let's launch the program. If it is not complete, then we use a trial period.
- Insert a flash drive with a capacity of 4 or 8 GB into the USB port, preferably larger.
- In the program, click on the tab with the mouse "File" — "Open" and select the Windows 7 Ultimate (Maximum) image file or any other version.
- The files will be automatically loaded into the program window, which are displayed in the right section. Now you need to click on the “Boot” tab and select the option “Burn Hard Disk Image”.
- On next step select a flash drive (Disk Drive), an image file that has already been registered, a recording method USB-HDD+. It is worth noting that files that are already on the flash drive will be destroyed.
- Click on the button "Record".
- A message will appear indicating that the information on the disk will be erased. We agree using the “Yes” button.
- Preparation for recording begins, and then the process itself, which does not take much time.
- The completion of the operation is accompanied by a message “Recording complete!”.
The finished flash drive can now be used for its intended purpose.
Step 3: How to Burn Windows 7 Image Using USB/DVD Download Tool
- We launch the program from the desktop. A window will open asking you to complete four steps. The first step is choice ISO image operating system. Click the Next button.
- Next, select the media type, in our case USB Device.
- Select the media and click “Begin Copy”.
- Next, formatting the flash drive and copying files will begin.
After copying, the flash drive is ready to install Windows 7. It is worth noting that using the USB/DVD Download Tool you can burn the image to a DVD or Blu-Ray disc.
Step 4: How to burn a Windows 7 image to a USB flash drive using the command line
If you have a Windows operating system at hand, you can use its capabilities to create a bootable USB flash drive. We will use the command line. Run this tool as administrator and follow these steps:
- IN command line(CMD) enter the command to work with disks: diskpart. Using it, we will format the media and write to it ISO files image.
- After entering the command indicated above, the user will find himself in the disk utility, which is characterized by the line “DISKPART>”.
- The next step involves displaying all drives connected to the computer. There is a command for this list disk.
- You need to select the media that will be used as boot. Here we focus on volume. For example, now a 30 Gb flash drive is connected here, in the “Size” column this volume is indicated. To choose this disk, you need to register select disk N(your carrier number). When choosing, be very careful, because it is very easy to make a mistake here.
- Let's move on to copying files to a flash drive. We mount the system image (so that it appears in the “My Computer” directory) and in the command line go to the created image disk.
- Using the commands, go to the boot directory and execute the command bootsect /nt60 N. Where N is the letter of the flash drive intended for installing Windows
- Copy the image files to the USB flash drive.
- Installing Windows 7.
Some users may find using the command line a little difficult because there are a lot of commands to enter. The likelihood of making a mistake here increases many times over. Therefore, it is recommended to use UltraISO or USB/DVD Download Tool. The following articles will discuss other utilities:
Using all these tools, the user will quickly figure out how to burn a Windows 7 image to a flash drive. In this material, third-party and regular means to create such a medium. The next material will be about how to create bootable dvd disk with Windows 7. This use case is losing popularity every year, as DVD drives are built into computer systems less and less often, but instead optical disks Flash media arrives.
Greetings, dear readers! When installing a new operating system on a computer, it will be enough to open the DVD drive, then install the installation distribution and after performing some operations in the BIOS (you can read about what a BIOS is), you can begin to complete the task.
However, what to do if you need to install the operating system on so-called portable netbooks or laptops, which, as you probably know, do not have a disk reader. In this case, the operating system is installed from a USB drive.
Herself from a flash drive is no different from installing from a disk, however, the process of writing the installation distribution onto a flash drive itself has some peculiarities. In this article we will look at in several ways. It should be noted here that in addition to writing the Windows distribution to a flash drive, you can also write it to a memory card, but not all laptops have the ability to boot from a memory card. Therefore, before creating a bootable flash drive or memory card, you should make sure that your laptop or netbook is capable of booting from a memory card. And how exactly to check you can find out by reading my article:
In fact, installing Windows from a flash drive is no different from installing from a regular DVD drive.
I Method for creating bootable flash media
So, the first method that we will consider is installation using the command line. This means that with the help of the task special teams we will create a bootable one removable media. But first we need a flash drive with a capacity of at least 4 GB. This method is, I would say, the most difficult for beginners, since you will have to sequentially enter commands that are not entirely familiar to novice users. Therefore, you should not be afraid of these unfamiliar commands; the purpose of each command is described below.
1. Connect the flash drive to the computer, and then click on start and select the “Run” command. At the command line, you will need to enter cmd.exe and click OK. In this case, the command must be launched as an administrator.
2. In the window that opens, you will need to type “diskpart” to open the disk management utility. After the utility appears, you need to type the “list disk” command, which allows you to view the list of used disks in your PC. You will need to select your flash drive. Let’s say in my example this is disk 1. So, we write “select disc 1”. Thus, we indicate that all subsequent actions will be performed with this disk.
3. In the next step, we will need to clean the flash media to which we will write. Type the command “clean”.
4. After the message “Disk cleanup completed successfully” appears, the next step is to create a new partition by issuing the “create partition primary” command. Here we indicate to the system that in the future we will work with this particular section - “select partition 1”.
5. To highlight this section active we set the command “active”.
6. Then in the next step you will need to format the partition we created on the flash drive in file system NTFS – “format fs=NTFS”.
7. After formatting the flash drive is completed (100%), you will need to activate the process of connecting the device by specifying the command “assign letter=Z” and pressing “Enter”.
8. Then, after the “connection successful” message appears, type “Exit” to exit diskpart to the command prompt.
E – Disk partition containing the Windows distribution;
Z – Designation of USB storage device.
The copying process itself takes about 50 minutes.
After the copying is complete, all that remains is to restart the computer and go into the BIOS. And then, having set the appropriate settings in the BIOS, you can begin installing the operating system.
II Method for creating bootable flash media
Let's consider the second method how to burn Windows 7 to a USB flash drive. The essence of this method is that to create a bootable flash drive we will need the UltraISO program, with which we will create bootable removable media with the Windows 7 operating system.
If you don't have it installed this program, then you can download it from the Internet, and it is distributed on a paid basis. However, you can use the demo version of this program in trial period carry out the use of this program.
So, open the program and click “File – Open”.
In the window that opens, you will need to go to the operating system image and click “Open”. We will look at what an image is and how to create it in one of the future lessons. By the way, let me remind you that various competitions and tournaments are held on the blog, participate and win cash prizes. To have a better chance of becoming a WINNER, you should Subscribe to blog updates so as not to miss new articles. You can read about how to properly subscribe to blog updates by clicking on
Then in top menu you should click “Boot” and select “Burn” from the drop-down menu image of a tough disk."
Therefore, before formatting, copy the data that is important to you to your hard drive.
After formatting is successfully completed, click “Burn”.
The image will be written to a flash drive or memory card for a certain time. This method is the simplest compared to the first method.
In general, in addition to the above methods for creating bootable flash media, there are also others various ways. For example, to write a Windows distribution to a memory card or flash drive, use a utility called WinToFlash.
Plus, I suggest you also watch the live video:
The essence of this utility is similar to that previously discussed UltraIso programs. That is, you open the program, specify the path to the location of the Windows distribution image, copy and save. What methods of creating bootable flash media do you know? In addition, I recommend that you read the article on your computer. From this article you will learn how to install correctly operating system Windows 7.
Having considered in this article the question of how to write Windows 7 to a flash drive, you can thereby independently reinstall the operating system on your netbook or laptop using a flash drive.
On this this article I will conclude. I hope the material was useful and interesting for you.
In the next article I will tell you =>
