How To Create Bootable Windows 7, Vista, or XP USB Flash/Pen Drive Quickly. Win. 2flash is great, but it can’t (and I quote the title of this post…) “How To Create Bootable Windows 7, Vista, or XP USB Flash/Pen Drive Quickly”. It can only make a bootable install disk of Vista, win. XP. Also, the following isn’t true…and I quote the author again) ” Now you can create Windows 7, Vista, or the old XP bootable USB key with a few clicks.

For some it will go nicely, but for most it won’t go without blood sweatr and tears. Win. 2Flash staff> > > write clearer boot gui, include ALL prerequisites in posts like this and include a txt help file at least…that speaks to all of the above. When it works though….
