How To Creating Bootable Windows 7 USB using UnetBootin

This utility is actually made for Linux Live USB creation but it worked also to build a Bootable USB for Windows 7. It extracts data from the specified ISO image and then generates a suitable syslinux configuration file.

Earlier we have listed how to create bootable Windows 7 USB using WinToFlash and USB Flash Drive.

Now follow the steps to make bootable USB using UnetBootin.

The user can launch the utility without any installation. You only need to select the location of Windows 7 ISO image and select appropriate USB drive which is usually auto detected. Remember my thumb drive was already formatted with FAT16 LBS file system.

Then the tool will start preparing a Bootable USB medium for Windows 7 installations.

Note: This method almost took same amount of time as WinToFlash. I expect that this method should also work on FAT32 formatted USB pen drives but was not able to test it. (Download UnetBootin)

Enjoy creating bootable USB !
