HELP ME! Can’t install Windows 7 to my USB
August 4th, 2013
My USB is 8GB and the Windows 7 ISO is 3.7 so I don’t know why it’s not letting me.
Is it my ISO file or something else? Please help me!
a few things to try
check the format of the usb drive
ntfs format will hold single files 4gb and up. yours is probably fat32 format
to fromat the usb:
start / computer / r click on the usb select format / choose ntfs
or
try to right click and run the usb tool as administrator
Use this

Works better, hope that helps!
I had the same problem with Windows 7 USB DVD Download Tool .. I used
http://www.isotousb.com/
That worked fine and with fat32, must select bootable ISO image
xboot might work for you
otherwise RandomNooob’s suggestion will do exactly what you want
If no tools work, just do it yourself. I do it this way all the time.

Yes, try pendrivelinux, I have actually had some success with that on this old PC which is hard to get it to flash drive boot !
Another app. is Wintoflash..

All these apps will format your flash drive for you as required .So no need to change the format.
Try with UltraISO, i use it without problems.
are you just copying the iso to usb? or are you trying to install in usb
if you are installing it will need 16 gb freespace in the usb key
booting from usb is a different issue.
