Make sure that right partition is selected Specify the Disk File and Finish the configuration of the virtual disk Select the USB flash drive device “PhysicalDrive1” and “ Use individual partitions“ In following screenshots you can see how I did to get it done: Start VMWare Workstation and open the properties of your VM then create new virtual harddisk and use the physical partition of the inserted USB disk. VMWare Workstation 6.5 or lower does not support to boot from USB removable disks, but there is a workaround to achieve that. I also can use this media to install my virtual machines. Now I am going to use the USB flash disk drive to install my systems. You can donate through the user interface in case you want to support the development of the freeware.In my previous post I created a USB installation disk with the Windows 7 USB DVD Download Tool. The developers keep the software updated frequently. WinSetupFromUSB supports all the OS versions of Windows.
The UI is user friendly since the interface is organised into two segments that allow you to format and choose your USB and then add the ISO file. The freeware turns your USB into a portable installer that enables you to easily install Windows on new devices. WinSetupFromUSB is an easy-to-use software that lets you boot 32 bit and 64 bit operating systems onto a flash drive. The files are available inside your USB folder once the process is complete. A warning message may appear to make sure that you choose the correct disks or drivers. The ISO file name populates into the bar after you pick the file for the Windows Setup.Īdditional choices at the bottom of the interface allow you to choose ‘Advanced options’, ‘Test in QEMU’, and ‘Show Log’ before you tap on ‘Go’ to begin the boot.
A button to the right of the menu names lets you select the ISO file that you want from your PC directory. The next step is to add the ISO file to the USB.Ī list of Linux and Windows versions is available for you to choose from based on the ISO file that you use. The formatted USB disk shows up in the first dropdown menu with the new file format. You can watch the progress at the bottom of the interface in the status bar.Ī ‘ Job done’ notification appears to let you know that you can move on to the next step in case you had to format your drive before you began. WinSetupFromUSB formats the flash drive quickly.
Common formats that the freeware includes are FAT16, FAT32, NTFS and ZIP. The program autoformats your USB in case you have a file format that is not accepted.
