Can I install the Windows 7 beta onto my computer via a USB flash drive? -

I m currently downloading the Windows 7 beta. The only problem is I don t have a DVD drive, so I can t burn the .iso file to a DVD or install from a DVD. So I was wondering if it s possible to quot;burnquot; the file to a USB flash drive and install from there? How would I go about doing this? I don t think I can boot from USB in my BIOS, so I would need to make a floppy boot disk, right? Alternatively, I can borrow my friend s external USB DVD drive. Would it be better to install from there? And how would I do that? Thanks.

Same too. You will need to burn it in a DVD because it s a boot file at. And the windows 7 beta is 2.44GB and it will not fit on 1.44MB Floppy. There is nothing you can do unless you get a DVD RW. Sorry about that Edit You can set the boot setting to your computers USB ports in BIOS, but you can t use quot;ISOBuster or Active ISO Burnerquot; to make a USB windows file on your USB. Its made for burning DVDs or CDs.

This is what I do to install the windows 7 beta. It will also work on Vista as well. http://www.intowindows.com/how-to-instal... Goodluck
