These instructions assume that you have a computer with Windows Vista installed on it. This will walk through the steps to create a bootable USB flash drive for the purpose of installing a Vista or Windows 7 OS. I cobbled together the following from VistaPCGuy and another source I don’t remember right now. It surprised me to find that there are very few dead-simple guides to creating a bootable USB thumb/pen/flash drive for a Vista and/or Windows 7 installation. Do mind that depending on the drive size, number of passes, and USB drive speed, it takes quite a bit of time to complete the verification process.EDIT 1: Microsoft Provides a tool to do this for you – Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool. See the Microsoft Store Help on the ISO-Tool ( ). For that, all you have to do is, select the checkbox “check device for bad blocks” under format options and you are good to go.
Rufus also checks the USB drive for any bad blocks. These options are beneficial when you are creating BIOS, firmware, or other low-level drives. Moreover, you get various different options like the ability to change the partition scheme, cluster size, and file system. Add to that, Rufus is much faster than the other apps when it comes to creating bootable Windows USB drives. Rufus not only lets you create bootable USB for different kinds of operating systems but you can also use it to flash BIOS, firmware, and run low-level utilities. When it comes to creating bootable USB drives in Windows, Rufus is the best, free, open-source, and easy-to-use software. Read: How to Use USB Flash Drive on Android and iOS USB Bootable Software 1.
