How to Install Vista to a USB Flash Drive

Windows Vista is one of Microsoft’s latest operating systems, and comes on a DVD for installation. However, if you’ve ever wanted to install Windows Vista using a USB flash drive instead of a DVD, you’re in luck. Through a slightly complicated method, you can actually load the Windows Vista installation files onto a USB flash drive and use that flash drive to install the operating system on your computer. The only catch is that your computer has to support booting from USB; however, most modern computers do.

Instructions 1 Insert the flash drive into your computer and wait for Windows to recognize it. Once recognized, open a command prompt by clicking on the "Start" button, clicking "Run," then typing “cmd” and pressing the "Enter" key. In the command prompt window, you will need to type in some commands. These commands assume that your flash drive is “Disk 1”, but you should verify this before beginning. You can verify which disk is your flash drive by looking in the "Disk Management" tool in the Control Panel’s "Administrative Tools" section.

2 Type the following commands, one at a time: “diskpart,” “select disk 1,” “clean,” “create partition primary,” “select partition 1,” “active,” “format fs=fat32,” “assign” and “exit.”

3. Insert your Windows Vista DVD into your computer and open it using Windows Explorer. Copy all of the files and folders on the Windows Vista DVD onto your flash drive by dragging and dropping them, or selecting them all and using "CTRL+C" to copy them and "CTRL+V" to paste them onto the flash drive. Wait until all of the files have finished copying before removing your flash drive.

4 Remove your flash drive from your computer and insert it into the computer you want to load Windows Vista onto. Start the computer and press the "F12" key to view the one-time boot menu. Choose the option to boot from USB, and the Windows Vista installation program will start. Follow the instructions to complete the installation of Windows Vista. Do not remove the flash drive from the computer until the installation is completely finished.

Tips & Warnings If you want to completely automate your Windows Vista installation, take a look at the link in the Resources section for details on how to turn your flash drive installer into a 100% automated installation tool. This will enable you to install Windows Vista without having to enter any setup information.

When partitioning your flash disk drive, make certain that you are formatting the correct drive, otherwise you may inadvertently erase your computer’s main hard drive.
