Putting the Windows 7 installation on a USB thumb drive has a few advantages—a small USB key is much more convenient for carrying around than a DVD, the OS will actually install much faster, and you can use a USB key to install Windows 7 on systems that do not have a DVD drive, such as a netbook. In fact, you can even install Windows 7 on netbooks that have fairly modest hardware.

Step 1: DiskPart utility

First, you’ll need the DiskPart utility on the system you will use to prep the thumb drive. This is a free disk partitioning utility that is likely already installed on your Windows system.

Step 2: Launch the DiskPart

Launch the DiskPart utility by typing diskpart at the Start Menu.
Or in Command Prompt.

Step 3: Formating the USB key

1. Then run the 'list disk' command to check the status of your drive.

2. Now run 'select disk 1' where the '1' is actually the corresponding number of your USB drive.

3. Run 'clean'.

4. Once the thumb drive is clean, you can run 'create partition primary'.

5. Now make the partition active by entering 'active'

6. Then you need to set up the file system as Fat32 by running 'format fs=fat32 quick' (quick, of course, specifies that you want to perform a quick format to speed up the process).

7. Entering the 'assign' command gives the USB drive a drive letter, making it easy to access from Windows Explorer

Step 4: Copy the DVD content to the USB key

Then you can copy everything from the Windows 7 installation DVD onto the USB key (a simple drag and drop will do).

Now you can insert the thumb drive into the system you want to install Windows 7 onto and boot the system. The installation will now proceed as usual—but faster.

Remember the USB must be 4GB or more.
