Methods to Create Bootable USB (Installation Guide)
First, convert the ISO image into an executable file. I am listing here three common methods for this purpose. You can use any of them before starting the installation process.
Method #1: Use Microsoft’s Tool to Create Bootable USB
You can use Microsoft’s tool “Windows USB/DVD Download” to create a bootable USB. The following are directions in this context.
- Click Here to download it.
- Connect a 4GB USB flash drive with a PC.
- Now, download Windows 7 Enterprise ISO from the links in the above section.
- Here, right-click to the tool and select “Run” to proceed.
- When it opens, you see the “Source File box.” Add the path of ISO file here. You can also use “Browse” to locate ISO automatically.
- Click “USB Device” from here to create a copy of ISO file on the USB drive.
- Now, click the option “Begin Copying” to copy the ISO image to the USB flash drive.
- Open the relevant folder to look for the “setup.exe” file. Double-click this file to start the installation process.
Method # 2: Use RUFUS to Create Bootable USB Flash Drive
If you don’t want to use Microsoft’s tool, use Rufus. It’s a simple and handy tool to create a bootable USB flash drive with a few clicks.
- Download Rufus.
- Connect a 4GB USB flash drive with a PC.
- Open Rufus Home Page
- Select “NTFS” from the drop-down menu to create a bootable disk for Windows 7 or XP.
- Here is a button like a DVD drive is located with the option “Create Bootable Disk Using.” Click this option.
- Select Windows 7 Home Premium ISO file.
- Click “Start” and the tool will start converting the ISO image into an executable file.
- Wait until the bootable USB drive is ready.
- Connect it with PC and reboot it to install Windows 7 Home Premium.
Method # 3: Create Bootable USB Flash Drive Via Command Prompt
You can create an executable USB flash drive by using Command Prompt.
- Open the “Start” menu and click Command Prompt.
- When it is open, type the following commands and press the “Enter” key after every command.
- DISKPART
- LIST DISK
- SEL DIS 1 (Instead of 1, type the drive number where you have saved Windows 7 Starter ISO file.)
- CLEAN
- CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY SIZE=102400 (You can select your desired drive size)
- FORMAT FS=NTFS LABEL=”WINDOWS 7”
- ACTIVE
- EXIT
- Here, click the “Install Now” option to start the installation.
Installation Guide
- Reboot the system and select the option “Boot from USB.”
- The system starts loading the files.
- On the next page, you need to set a language, time, currency format and keyboard or input method. Click “Next” to proceed.
- Now, select the “Install Now” option.
- Click “I Accept the License Terms” on the next page and move ahead.
- Here are two types of installation: Custom and Upgrade. Select one of them. If you want to delete all the previous files and want to install a fresh copy of Windows, select “Custom” otherwise select “Upgrade” from there.
- Now, select the disk drive where you want to install Windows 7 Enterprise.
- On the next page, you will see the confirmation message to delete the old Windows. If you are upgrading, show your preference here.
- Now, the copying of files, expanding and installation will begin.
- Wait for some time until the installation reaches 100%. During the installation process, it will restart for several times. Do not interfere while the installation process is going on.
- Put the product key in the boxes given here.
- Finally, select the network connection to connect to the internet and your Windows 7 Enterprise is ready to use.

FAQs
Q: I want to back up the ISO file to a CD-ROM. Can I do it?
Of course not. The Windows ISO file is excessively large to fit on a CD/DVD. So, you cannot back up it to a CD-ROM.
Q: I have inserted a blank DVD into my DVD-ROM, but the downloading tool does not recognize it.
Check the DVD disc. It should not be a dual-layer disc. The downloading tool does not support the dual-layer DVD.

Install “Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 to upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate. You can download it from the official site of Microsoft.
Q: I am trying to install Windows 7 Ultimate on my PC, but it is showing an error. I am using the same Windows on my laptop.
It can be installed only in one system. If you are trying to install it on another computer, it will show an error.
Q: What size of the USB is required for a bootable USB?
It should have a minimum 4GB storage space.
Greetings folks.
Long post so feel free to skip the intro if you don't have much time to read.
## intro ##
Let me make a small introduction on why/what I am posting here.
My boss just bought me a new laptop that comes with Windows 8.1. It's an Asus X552 which means that unfortunately it's not a business laptop as it was supposed to be. Blame the damned crisis...
Problem is, most of the software that I will be running on it still doesn't run on Windows 8.1 which means that I need to reinstall windows 7 64bits on it.
Since the hdd has little space for my needs, the laptop doesn't come with a dvd reader. Instead it comes with another hdd with a dvd-to-hdd adapter.
This means I need to reinstall using windows 7 USB boot disk because I'm not very familiar with PXE .
## end of intro ##
Problem is, this is my first time with UEFI. I was able to create a windows 7 boot disk using Rufus but then, when Windows is supposed to start copying files to disk, it seems it doesn't recognize my hdd. I know that this may sound a bit vague. If you need the specific error message let me know and I'll try to reinstall and grab a screenshot with a camera.
BTW, since it was making some strange/funny noise, I have removed the hdd and the dvd-to-hdd adapter and I returned it as a DoA.
Someone told me that I could turn the system into a non-UEFI+MBR but I would rather do it properly using UEFI+GPT.
