Creating a bootable/installable Windows 7 (and Vista & Win2k8) USB key the easy way - “A Bootable USB” utility from AskVG.com

Tweaking with Vishal - A Bootable USB: Utility to Create Bootable USB Drive to Install Windows Vista, Server 2008 and 7

“…

Imagine a situation where you need to install Windows Vista or 7 in a system but you don't have access to DVD drive. We all know Windows Vista, Server 2008 or 7 comes in DVDs and you'll need a DVD drive to install them. Then how will you install them? The solution is, you can create a bootable USB drive which can be used to install Windows without using DVD drive.

We have posted a detailed tutorial to create such bootable USB drive long time back, you can read about it here.

The above method is very easy to follow but wouldn't it be great if we can use a utility to do the whole task automatically? Our reader "Aris" has created a small utility exclusively for AskVG readers which creates a bootable USB drive to install Windows Vista, Server 2008 or 7.

Nice! SO much easier than manually creating a Win7 USB boot/install key. This is going to be a must have utility in the near future
