Hi Guys ive never done a install of Windows 7 off of a USB stick before, I researched Google but wanted to ask the Experts. I have a Legit Windows 7 64 bit Ultimate on Disc and wish to install it onto a machine that only has USB ports as my option and I have a 32gig USB stick handy. Do I just make a ISO and put it on the stick then make the USB port the first bootable option in the bios? Thanks!

Also if your Windows7 Key work with sp1 you can get a clean iso image from Digital River site.

Rufus 1.4.12 is the easiest one that is available and actually works now. Fast, easy and simple, this is how it should be. Nothing like being done in 10 minutes or less installing from a usb.

I use YUMI for this.

And I make the .isos myself using dd under linux to make a bit for bit copy of the install DVD to an .iso file.

That is the long way to do it. You need to try Rufus and see what you are missing.
