Windows 7 Dvd Usb Download Tool
Channing Arther
For example there is a program called UNetBootin which can make bootable USB drives, but seems like it only works with various linux distributions. (Tried it with a Win7 image and the SystemRescueCD, which didn't work so well...).
Main reason I ask is that I have a Support DVD which came with an Asus EEE, and it of course doesn't have an external dvd drive. So I am curious if I can sort of move that dvd over to a USB drive so that I can use it without buying one.
Not asking just specifically about this one case though, I am curious to know a bit more about this in general. So, if you have a general bootable DVD or CD (Or a DVD or CD image for that matter), could be linux distro, windows install disk, support disks, etc., is it possible to "move" it over to a USB drive and make that work like the DVD or CD did? (Being bootable and all).
This tool allows you to create a Windows XP, Windows Vista/7, some Syslinux ISO and some other bootable (even multiboot), including some cool integrated tools from a single GUI (not very pretty), which even allows you to test the bootable USB key in a VM (QEMU) without the need to reboot a machine.
2) the USB drive must be bootable with that iso. For this the iso must be hybrid. This means that you should not only write the iso to the disk, but also to create Master Boot Record for that. One can make a hybrid iso using isohybrid. Hybrid isos can be easily written both to CDs and usb sticks, but unfortunately not every software piece creates them (FreeDOS not yet).
Another option is to have a bootable iso and use a bootloader like syslinux or grub. They can be installed to USB and then load the iso themselves, like here. In this post I've put several examples on how to create a bootable usb containing (but it's not so important here) FreeDOS.
I try all method to create bootable usb drive for HPE Firmware 8.30 cd under windows 10 with HPE USB Key Utility but without sucess The hpe USB key not work on Windows 10 even compatibility mode. Thanks for any help !
I installed this update and still can not create the USB. I have a samsung 128gig 3.0 which the tool does not see, I tried a full parttition, a 10gig partition. Seems to be an issue with this usb stick. Tried a lexar 8gig and it shows up.
Sorry to hear about this issue. It is usually a matter of Windows getting confused about Linux partition tables, or otherwise unfamiliar data written to certain areas of the flash drive. The suggestions in the following guide (section Recovering broken drives) are able to recover the vast majority of such issues. Let us know how they work for you.
github.com balena-io/etcher/blob/master/docs/USER-DOCUMENTATION.md#recovering-broken-drivesEtcher User Documentation=========================This document contains how-tos and FAQs oriented to Etcher users.Why is my drive not bootable?-----------------------------Etcher copies images to drives byte by byte, without doing any transformationto the final device, which means images that require special treatment to bemade bootable, like Windows images, will not work out of the box. In thesecases, the general advice is to use software specific to those kind ofimages, usually available from the image publishers themselves.Images known to require special treatment:- Microsoft Windows (use [Windows USB/DVD Download Tool][windows-usb-tool], [Rufus][rufus], or [WoeUSB][woeusb]).- Windows 10 IoT (use the [Windows 10 IoT Core Dashboard][windows-iot-dashboard]) This file has been truncated. show original
Now Etcher made my USB drive unusable. It could not be read anywere, not even in BIOS. So i trow it away. It was an error while flashing the drive to the point it cannot be used ever.
I dont know why Etcher changed the name to BalenaEtcher, wtf is this? And why all of the sudden, Etcher is so garbage tool? Ill try again, i bought a USB thumb drive again today, and ill try again, and i will record every second of the process. If Balena fucking Etcher will broke this USB thumb drive also, im gonna ask them a refund for the money that i spend on that USB thumb drive.
My system stayed on the same version of Balena 1.5.52, and started having this problem after a features update to Windows10, version 1903 was installed on August 19, 2019. After allowing the access in the Windows 10 dialog after clicking Flash, Etcher reports the error seen in the first entry here: Etcher 1.5.5 windows, writer process problem
After that, a Microsoft notification appears that an attempt to change was blocked. The Protection history gets an entry which says Protected folder: \Deivce\Harddisk3\DR5, Blocked by: Controlled folder access.
That confirms what I found, as far as versions. I installed 1.5.54 (since 1.5.55 was released on Aug 19, the same day as the Windows update) to ensure it was Windows. The same error appeared on it as well. I just disabled the Controlled folder access in Ransomware protection, and it is working fine again.
Windows 10 type cmd in search then right click choose run as administrator then type diskpart the command line drive utility then type list disk and choose your usb number then type select disk and its number then an asterisk should be by it if you type list disk again make sure you have your USB and not your boot drive then type clean after that close cmd open disk management click on usb and create new simple volume and usb good as new with luck
If anyone still gets to this point, something that worked for me was to format the drive. But NOT a quick format. I flashed an ISO on an USB drive and it became unreadable in Windows after some error I got during the flashing process. Then, when I finally managed to read it, I noticed I lost all rights to access it. The only solution was to perform a long format, which repaired everything.
I started downloading the windows media tool and trying upgrading from that app. Continue to freeze on the "Making sure.." screen. After reading plenty of topics on this issue without a working solution (in my case) i decided to try with the USB boot solution.
Again, another problem. As soon as the usb starts the process it gives me an error "missing drivers of a peripheral..". Same thing, i found that a lot of people faced the same problem and none of the solutions seems to work for me.
Try this.... do all the available updates via MS updates control panel. Do Disk Cleanup on your C drive via its Properties page. Go to Tools tab on that page after that and check both boxes for Error Checking. It will schedule that so when you do a restart it will proceed. This will take some time.... much faster off a SSD.
Once it has finished that boot into W7Pro64... this should be a properly licensed install. Plug in the USB drive you made for W10Pro64..... don't boot from it, just plug it in to your running W7Pro64 install. Navigate to it and go to the Setup.exe application for W10. Launch that. I personally don't try to save any applications or files at this stage..... you have those backed up already. Let the process proceed.... this works every time on Z620s. I only run my BIOS in Legacy mode.
Once the install is done your workstation's UUID is registered with MS, and you can do a fully clean W10 install on that box from then on. This upgrade gift from MS still works for properly licensed W7Pro64 installs 4/18.
But, do not boot from that DVD.... boot from your properly licensed W7Pro64 install and then navigate over to the DVD. You can go to your W7Pro64 install's Control Panel Folders Options View tab and go down to the option to Hide extensions of known file types, and uncheck that hide feature. Then apply so you can see all extensions. That way it is easy to find the Setup.exe on the DVD (or USB) for the W10 install files. Create that USB or the DVD via MS to get the latest installer. Don't boot from it. Yes, later you can boot from those two, but don't at this stage. Just navigate to and run the .exe from within W7Pro64.
Later, after this first W10 install has been automatically registered with the MS W10 install servers you can boot from either the USB or the DVD and do a full clean install from scratch. The registration and subsequent clean install do require internet access, of course.
There are a large number of advice posts on how exactly to configure W10 with clean installs, but at this early stage I just do what is quick and easy..... I'll change to my fine tuning later during my clean install of W10. My W10 installs generally do not link to a MS account.... I skip that.
Some day this gift will go away, but it sure is nice to have it while it lasts..... Once your box is W10-registered this way you can go back to using W7Pro64 and later when the time is right you can easily load W10 without all the machinations.
I want to install Ubuntu on my laptop that doesn't have a CD-ROM drive and I have no spare USB disk. I've tried Wubi, but that doesn't seem to work (since it prompts me to have the CD in the drive, which I don't have).
