How To: Install Windows 7 from a USB Key!

" I installed it from the disk"
Not all computers have disk drives these days. Besides, if your a true geek, you NEVER do it the way it's supposed to be done. That's for the masses. We're "special" and if it means standing on our heads while installing an OS... here's to it!
How To: Install Windows 7 from a USB Key!
Posted 11/03/2009 at 01:25:17pm
I've been wrestling with Windows 7 installs since the Beta came out. I'm not sure if it's the original download or my burner, but I've had several instances where image isn't quite right. It will show up during the install as an error saying drivers are missing or it just can't continue. Of course this only comes AFTER your system disk has been swiped and your left with a loud paperweight. As a result, I've always made sure to have another functioning PC on hand to work from. I got abandoned at work once with a bad install disc and couldn't complete the install. Had to go home, download a fresh ISO image from MSDN and make another go at it. The next day, Windows 7 went in smoothly.
