There are lots of guidance you can get from google to make a bootable USBdrive. But be careful ! They can lead you to a corrupted OS or USB drive.
This procedure is safe and you can install Windows faster than discs and without any hassles.
Requirements:
1. USB Drive (Minimum 4GB)
2. Windows installation files. You can copy this files in your machine from the windows CD/DVD.
Procedure:
1. Go to Start menu > All programs > Accessories, right click on Command Prompt and select Run as
administrator.
2. Now type the following commands one by one
You will now enter into the DISKPART utility.
i) DISKPART
Now note down the Disk number (eg: Disk 2) of your USB flash drive. In the below screenshot my Flash Drive Disk no is Disk 2.
ii) LIST DISK
Select your USB disk
iii) SELECT DISK 2
Clean the disk
iv) CLEAN
Create a primary partition in the USB drive
v) CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY
Now select the partition
vi) SELECT PARTITION 1
Make the partition as active
vii) ACTIVE
Attention: This process can take almost an hour to format depending upon the size of the USB drive. Better right click on the USB drive and select NTFS and Quick format. And don't execute command no. viii)
viii) FORMAT FS=NTFS
After completing FORMAT now Assign it and exit from DISKPART utility
ix) ASSIGN
x) EXIT
Now you'll again come back to C:\Windows\system32>. Don't close the Command prompt just minimize it.
3. Now the actual location of the Windows installer files could be a CD/DVD or it can be in your Local Disk)
I assume it is in CD/DVD and the drive then the path should look like F:\boot (Drive can be anything D, E as per your machine)
Or if it is in Local disk then I assume the path looks like : D:\<windows7 folder>\boot
4. Now again maximize the command prompt. and got to the \boot folder location
C:\Windows\system32> cd F:\boot
F:\boot> bootsect.exe /NT60 G:
Where G: is your USB drive letter (in my case). We are actually updating the USB drive with the BOOTMGR.
5. Now Copy the Windows installer files in the USB drive.
Your Bootable USB drive is now ready. From BIOS change the boot order to USB and install Windows.
