WinToFlash Turns Windows Installation Disk into a USB Disk Based Installer
Do you like this article?
In the article “How To Install Windows 7 Using USB Flash Drive Faster“, I showed you the manual way to prepare an USB disk for installing Windows using it. Though the steps were simple but involved the risk of selecting and formatting the wrong drive altogether. Today, I found a software tool that will automate the whole process of preparing the USB disk as a bootable media for installing any version of Windows. Also using this tool will be less risky. You don’t need to worry if the DVD drive cannot read the disc or if the Windows 7 installation disk is corrupted due to any scratches. It is also more convenient to carry around your USB flash drive rather than a DVD disc. Also, now a lot of new compact small laptops or desktops doesn’t even have an optical drive.
WinToFlash is the tool that I am talking about here. WinToFlash is a freeware, Windows only software tool. WinToFlash can make Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 onto a USB flash drive as well as Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008. It can also transfer Windows Preinstallation Environments to an USB flash drive. The process of doing this task is very simple and mostly obvious. First step that involves in the process is that you tell WinToFlash where the installation files you want to transfer are located. You can either use transfer wizard and take care of things or specify settings like what disk format the USB flash drive will have.
