Easy Way to Create Bootable Windows 7 and 8 Installation USB


As USB drives are much faster than CD/DVD drive, installing operating system from a USB flash drivewould make a big difference. Windows (Vista/ 7) has its own built-in command line utility (diskpart) for creating bootable Windows installation USB, but the process is bit complicated for an average user. WinToBootic is a simple tool, which will help you quickly and easily create Windows Vista, 7, 8 and WinPE bootable Flash drives.

How to use WinToBootic for creating bootable Windows installation USB?

1. Download and install WinToBootic (for windows XP requires .NET Framework 2 for installation)
2. Insert a USB flash drive (at least 4GB) into your PC and run the tool. To format your drive, enable the option ‘Quick Format’.
