Hi, I encountered problems of installing Windows 7 from USB. Let me describe my procedure to do that and show you what happens as follows.

Procedure to make a bootable USB for Windows 7:
1) Reference to WAREZ and do the same things step by step.
2) After installing Grub4Dos, Extract and copy all files from DVD ISO of Windows 7 to my USB stick.
3) Edit and add a title for menu.lst under the root of USB stick.
title Install Windows 7
find --set-root /bootmgr
chainloader /bootmgr

An error message is shwon after entering "Install Windows 7" in Grub4Dos:
Windows Boot Manager says Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause etc, etc, then ->
File: \Boot\BCD
Status: 0xc000000e
Info: An error occurred while trying to read the boot configuration data.

Do I miss something to configure Grub4Dos or lacks of instructions to set the MBR of my USB stick? Need your kindly help, thanks a million!

P.S My USB stick works here as an USB-HDD for ASUS P4C800-E motherboard.

When I boot my Lenovo Thinkpad R61 with this USB stick, it works fine and Windows 7 can be installed from USB. But it doesn't wrok for my desktop ASUS P4C800-E/Intel 875 chipset Motherboard!

Anyone knows why this situation aries? Does this problem come from BIOS? I am getting confused yet.

Mentioning of both Mr. Warez and warez is perhaps not a great strategy if you need help

Unlikely what new users may think, we give away new threads for free. wink.gif

Choose one:
  1. you have a problem in installing Windows 7 from a USB device and WAREZ are not involved in it
  2. you have the SAME problem the OP had


If #1 start a NEW thread describing which method/whatever you attempted doing, describing the hardware involved, etc., etc..
If #2 you are out of luck as we don't support this kind of stuff.
