Turn a USB Flash Drive into a Bootable Windows 7 Installer

 Turn a USB Flash Drive into a Bootable Windows 7 Installer
Hi all users, many of you asked us about some idea on how to install Windows 7 OS from USB thub drive (Pen Drive) so we found this easiest way to do so is by using the tool Microsoft offers, cunningly named the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool. To get started,download the software and install it.

Once it is installed, it should create an icon on your desktop, so double-click that to open. If you can't find it, use the search function in the Start Menu with a keyword like "USB." Launching it should give you the above screen, and step one is to find the Windows 7 .ISO file. The tool only accepts .ISO images, so we recommend that you convert yours if it's in a different DVD image format.

Step two is straightforward: simply choose USB device. 
In step three, all you have to do is make sure that you are choosing the correct USB device. If you have other data on the device, move it to your hard drive, another USB device, or somewhere else before proceeding.
The tool will prompt you if it detects data on the device. Once your data is backed up elsewhere, click Erase USB Device.
You will get another prompt warning you that all the data will be wiped. Click Yes to continue.
The format will be very quick, while the copying of the files will take a little bit more time (about 10 to 15 minutes).
Once the process is complete, you should get the above confirmation message. At this point you can close the tool and use the USB drive to install Windows 7. Remember that you'll have to choose to boot from the USB drive. Before doing so, you may want to open up the USB drive and double click on setup.exe to see if everything looks okay. 

Enjoy.......
