Dave Glover "Down Under (Oz)" - Creating a Bootable USB Windows Vista Drive
“I've been wanting to create one of these for ages, mostly to install Vista on to DVDLess Laptops and I spotted Jorke doing an OS from his USB Memory stick, ok, so just how did you create it?? Well here's what you need to do!!
Format the USB stick as NTFS
Make USB Volume Active
Load up an (elevated) command prompt window
Run diskpart.exe and then set your drive and partition to point to the stick. Make sure you set the partition as Active.
…
and you should be good to go!!
hmmm, now for a nice speedy install on my DVDless ASUS Eee PC 1000H, which btw rocks!!
