| Administrator | Re: USB Bootable Vista Installation Flash Thumb Drive I'm sorry kfm, but I do not know how to do it for a OEM recovery CD. You might post this question in the General Discussion forum to see if by chance someone may know of a way to create a bootable USB flash drive with a OEM Vista recovery CD. |

| Vista Expert | Re: USB Bootable Vista Installation Flash Thumb Drive No Shawn, i do not have a retail vista installation disk. I have installed the OEM vista OS (cracked). May be this is the reason for this issue. Anyways, thanks for the help dear. . . |
