The Windows 7 operating system comes in multiple editions. You will sometimes see these
editions referred to as Stock Keeping Units (SKUs). Microsoft targets specific editions at
different
usage scenarios, providing cheaper editions to customers who do not want all the
features available in a more expensive edition. As an IT professional, your job may involve
providing guidance to decision makers on which edition of Windows 7 should be purchased
for the computers in your organization. You may also need to provide guidance to family
and friends as to which edition of Windows 7 best meets their needs. There are six different
Windows 7 editions:
n Starter
n Home Basic
n Home Premium
n Professional
n Enterprise
n Ultimate
Preparing the Windows 7 Installation Source
You can use several methods to install Windows 7. The most appropriate method depends on
your individual circumstances. Although installing using a DVD-ROM is fine when you have
only a couple of computers, you might want to consider alternate methods when you have to
deploy Windows 7 to 20 computers or more. When considering which installation source to
use, consider the following factors:
n Do you need to install Windows 7 on more than one computer?
n Does the computer or computers have DVD-ROM drives?
n Do you need to deploy a customized version of Windows 7?
n Do you want to automate the installation process?
Using a USB Drive as an Installation Source
Small form factor laptop computers, often called netbook computers or netbooks, are
becoming
increasingly popular. One drawback for the IT professional, however, is that
these computers are so small that they often do not have an attached optical media
drive. Although
it is possible to purchase DVD drives that use USB connections to attach
to netbook
computers
and perform an installation, more administrators are turning to
cheap multi-
gigabyte USB storage devices, sometimes called flash drives, as their preferred
installation
media of choice.
USB storage devices have several advantages over DVD-ROMs. With a USB storage
device,
you can modify the operating system image directly using tools such as Dism.exe.
You can add extra drivers to the image stored on a USB storage device, something that is
not possible
to do to the installation image stored on a DVD-ROM. You will learn how to do
this in Chapter
3, "Deploying System Images." Another advantage of USB flash devices is that
they have faster read speeds than DVD-ROM drives, meaning that the time to transfer the
operating
system files to the target computer's hard disk is reduced.
A USB storage device needs to be 4 GB or larger if you want to use it as a Windows 7
installation
source. This is because the x64 installation files are approximately 3.2 GB in size
and the x86 installation files are approximately 2.5 GB in size. You use one architecture's
installation files only when preparing a deployment from a USB storage device. The USB
storage
device should use the FAT32 file system.
Tomorrow we will perform Window 7 clean instillation today our practical is Using USB as Installation source.because we can't boot from every USB Drive without this method.
1. Connect the USB storage device to a computer running Windows 7 or Windows Vista. Ensure that the storage device has no data stored on it that you want to keep (or that you have moved such data to another storage device) because this procedure removes all existing data.
2. Open an elevated command prompt and type diskpart.
3. At the DISKPART> prompt, type list disk. Identify which disk connected to the computer represents the USB storage device.
4. At the DISKPART> prompt, type select disk X where X is the number of the disk that you have identified as the USB storage device.
5. At the DISKPART> prompt, type clean. When the disk is clean, type create partition primary.
6. At the DISKPART> prompt, type format fs=fat32 quick. When the format is completed type active and then exit.
7. After you have completed these steps, copy all the files located on the Windows 7 installation DVD to the USB storage device .
8. Configure the BIOS computer on which you want to install Windows 7 to boot from the USB storage device . Attach the USB storage device and then reboot the computer to start installation
Here is the Step by Step video how we can make usb Bootable using Command prompt.its so easy.
