How to Boot and Install windows OS from flash drive


When my third CD player stopped to work I started to think why my PC requires it? Then I understood that I have kept CD player only for booting and installing windows OS. So I have decided to create a flash drive or pen drive by which I can boot and install windows XP, Vista and Windows 7. So, I have tried various methods and here I will explain best method among them.
To do this you require,
1) USB pen drive that is at least 4 GB.
      2)  A windows installation CD, DVD or .iso disc image file.
      3)  A free application called WinToFlash.

Step 1
If you have windows installation CD then forget this step. Otherwise you have to make .iso disc image file of Windows OS by using any virtual drive emulating software such as magic disc, Daemon tools etc.

Step 2
Download latest version of WinToFlash and install on your PC. Then running the setup file following screen will appear.

From ‘advance mode’ choose your task and click ‘create’

Select the source path of windows installation disc or image file and pen drive.

Then click ‘run’ and wait for five minutes. Now exact bootable copy of windows OS will be ready in your pen drive.
So that’s all friends. If you have any queries and suggestions please let us know. If you have any problem in doing this feel free to write on comments.
