USB is a much faster way to go if you want to install Windows 7 from the scratch. In this post, we will show you in step by step guidance how to create and use the bootable USB flash drive to install Windows 7 from the very beginning.
Before we begin
Step 1: Create or Download an ISO
Step 2: Create an Installation USB Drive
Step 3: Install Windows 7 via USB
Before we begin
Note: Please make sure that your USB flash drive is with at least 8 GB of free storage and that there is no important data in it since all the data will be erased completely later.
We are now getting your USB flash drive ready by erasing the entire contents of the drive.
1) Insert your USB flash drive into your computer.
2) Press the Start button on your keyboard, type cmd in the search box. Right-click cmd and click Run as administrator.
3) Type the following commands into the cmd window and press the Enter key on your keyboard after each command:
a) diskpart
b) list disk
You can see which disk is your USB drive listed. Yours could be listed as Disk 0, Disk 1, or Disk 2. On our screen shot, the USB drive is listed as Disk 1.
c) select disk 1
Note: If your USB flash drive is listed as Disk 0, Disk 2 or some other numbers, you should change the 1 here accordingly.
You will see the notification saying that “Disk X is now the selected disk“.
d) clean
You will see a successful response saying that “DiskPart succeeded in cleaning the disk.”
e) When the drive is cleaned, we need to format the USB flash driver. Type in the following commands, and hit Enter after you type each of the command:
select disk 2 (or what number your USB drive has)
create partition primary
select partition 1
active
format FS=NTFS
