Currently, CDs are increasingly losing their former popularity, giving way to other types of media. It is not surprising that now users are increasingly practicing the installation (and with accidents and download) OS from a USB drive. But for this, you should record the image of the system or installer on the installation flash drive. Let's figure it out how to do this in relation to Windows 7.

Method 2: Download Tool
Next, we will look at how to solve the task with the download tool. This software product is not as popular as the previous one, but its advantage is that it is created by the same developer as installed OS - Microsoft. In addition, it should be noted that it is less universal, that is, it is suitable only for creating bootable devices, while Ultraiso can be used for many other purposes.
Download download tool from the official site
- After downloading, activate the installer file. In the required welcoming window of the installer utilities, click "Next".
- In the next window, you need to click "Install" to start directly installing the application.
- The application will be implemented.
- After the process is completed to exit the installer, press FINISH.
- After that, the utility label will appear on the "desktop". To start it, you need to click on it.
- The Utility window opens. At the first stage, you need to specify the path to the file. To do this, click "Browse".
- Run the Open window. Move in it to the OS Image Location Directory, select it and press "Open".
- After displaying the path to the OS image in the "Source File" field, click "Next".
- The next step requires you to select the type of media to be recorded. Since you need to create an installation flash drive, then click the "USB Device" button.
- In the next window from the drop-down list, select the name of the flash drive to which you want to record. If it is not displayed in the list, then update the data by pressing the button with the icon in the form of arrows forming the ring. This element is located on the right of the field. After the choice is made, press "Begin Copying".
- The formatting procedure will be launched, during which all data will be deleted from it, and after automatically starts the image recording of the selected OS. The progress of this procedure will be displayed graphically and in percentage of the same window.
- After the procedure is completed, the indicator will move to a 100% mark, and the status will appear below: "Backup Completed". You can now apply a flash drive to load the system.
