Unfortunately these instructions only work when running on Vista and newer operating systems. I just ran across an app that automates the process of creating a bootable Win7 flash drive, but does it under XP as well.

I got stuck at the format part. It seems that there is no format keyword in my version of diskpart (5.1.3565)…

@manny:

see if your hard drive is plugged in properly(preferably first SATA port and the power cable firmly plugged in ).

Also try to plug it into a machine that already has an os and partition/format your HDD.

And last of all check the your Windows copy. Try using a DVD instead of a USB pen.

Finally there are several more articles written on this subject on the site. And the author of this post is currently unavailable, so please do a search and use those other methods to put windows 7 on a USB stick
