USB Bootable Vista Installation Flash Thumb Drive

How to Create a Vista Installation USB Key​


information   Information
This will show you how to create a USB flash key drive that you can boot from to install Vista with.
Tip   Tip
If the USB flash drive is of sufficient capacity, say 8GB, then after copying the Vista installation DVD onto it, you can create a new folder (ex: Device Drivers) in the USB key and place all of your latest driver installation files in it. This way you will have them handy to manually install the drivers after installing Vista from the USB key.
warning   Warning

  • You can only create a 32-bit Vista USB key from within a 32-bit OS (ex: Vista or XP).
  • You can only create a 64-bit Vista USB key from within a 64-bit OS (ex: Vista or XP).
  • The USB key needs to be at least 4 GB in size.
  • You must have a Retail Vista installation DVD, not a OEM Vista recovery CD.
  • This will delete everything on the USB key. Be sure to save anything that you do not want to lose on it somewhere else.
  • Before installing Vista from the USB key, you will need to:
    • Enable Legacy USB storage detect in the BIOS
    • Temporarily set the USB FDD (USB Flash Disk Drive) to be listed right before the hard drive (or partition) that you will be installing Vista on in the hard drive Boot Priority order list in the BIOS.
    • After you are finished installing Vista from the USB key, make the Vista hard drive (or partition) listed first in the hard drive Boot Priority order list in the BIOS.





METHOD ONE
Create Vista Installation USB Key using Vista ISO


Note   Note
You will need to have a Vista ISO file to do this option.

If you like, you can use the Create image file from disc feature of the free program ImgBurn with a retail Vista installation DVD to create a Vista ISO file.

If you do not have a retail Vista installation DVD, then you can download and create an official Vista ISO file using the tutorial here: Installation & Upgrade - Vista ISO - Download and Create Installation DVD or USB


1. Download and install the trial version of UltraIso.​
​
2. Plug in your USB key.​
​
3. Right click on the UltraIso shortcut, and click on Run as administrator.​
​
4. Click on File (menu bar) and Open. (See screenshot below)​
UltrISO-2.jpg​
​

5. Navigate to your Vista ISO file and select it and click on the Open button. (See screenshot below)​

​

6. In the bottom Local pane, select your USB flash key drive. (See screenshot below)​

​
​
4. In the elevated command prompt, type diskpart and press Enter. (See screenshot below)​
Step1.jpg​
​

5. In the elevated command prompt, type list disk and press Enter. (See screenshot below)​

Step2.jpg​
​

6. In the elevated command prompt, type select disk # (your USB disk #) and press Enter. (See screenshot below)​
NOTE: You can also look for the drive size (step 2) for the USB key to help ID the disk number. For example, my USB key is listed as Disk 1, so I would type select disk 1 and press Enter.​
Step3.jpg​
​

7. In the elevated command prompt, type clean and press Enter. (See screenshot below)​
Step4.jpg​
​

8. In the elevated command prompt, type create partition primary and press Enter. (See screenshot below)​

Step7.jpg​
​

11. In the elevated command prompt, type format fs=ntfs and press Enter. (See screenshot below)​
NOTE: This may take a few moments to finish formatting the USB key.​
Step8.jpg​
​

12. If AutoPlay opens a pop-up for the USB key, then just close it. ​
​
13. In the elevated command prompt, type assign and press Enter. (See screenshot below)​
NOTE: This will assign a new drive letter to the USB key. Make note of the new USB drive letter for step 19 below. For example, mine is now H.​
Step9.jpg​
​

14. If AutoPlay opens a pop-up for the USB key, then just close it.​
NOTE: Make note of the new USB drive letter for step 18 below. For example, mine is now H.​
​
15. In the elevated command prompt, type exit and press Enter. (See screenshot below)​
NOTE: This will exit you from DiskPart from step 4.​
Step10.jpg​
​

16. Insert your retail Vista installation DVD into the DVD drive.​
​
17. If AutoPlay opens a pop-up for the retail Vista installation DVD, then just close it.​
NOTE: Make note of what the drive letter is for the DVD drive that has the retail Vista installation DVD in for step 19 below. You can also open Computer (step 21) to see what the drive letter is to. (See right screenshot below)​
​
18. In the elevated command prompt, type cd\ and press Enter. (See screenshot below)​
Step11.jpg​
​

19. In the elevated command prompt, type the command below, and press Enter. (See screenshot below)​
WARNING: Subtitute the letter F with your actual DVD drive letter (step 17), and substitute H with your actual USB key drive letter (step 13).​
F:\boot\bootsect.exe /nt60 H:​
​
​
Step12.jpg​
​

20. When it finishes, close the elevated command prompt.​
​
21. Open the Start Menu, and right click on the Computer button and click on Open.​
​
22. Right click on the DVD drive (ex: F: ) that has the retail Vista installation DVD, and click on Open. (See screenshot below)​
Open.jpg​
​

23. Highlight all of the contents, right click on the highlighted contents, and click on Copy. (See screenshot below)​
NOTE: You will need to copy all of the files and folders on the retail Vista installation DVD to the USB key.​
Copy.jpg​
​

24. Go back to Computer, right click on the USB key drive (ex: H ), and click on Paste. (See screenshot below)​
Paste.jpg​
​

25. The contents of the retail Vista installation DVD will now start copying over to the USB key.​
NOTE: This may take a few moments to complete.​
​
26. When finished, you can close the Computer window and unplug the USB key.​
​
27. You now have a Vista installation USB flash drive.​
​
warning   Warning
Before installing Vista from the USB key, you will need to:

You probably did but just in case I have to ask did you enable booting from USB in your MB bios.

From the info at top of the guide:

"Your motherboard will need to support booting from a USB flash drive. Most newer boards do.
  • In the BIOS, you will need to enable Legacy USB storage detect.
  • In the BIOS, you will need to set the USB FDD (USB Flash Disk Drive) to be listed before you Vista hard drive in the Boot Priority order list and in the Hard Drive Boot Priority (if available). "

John,

Some USB flash drives have a extra partition on them that show up as CD/DVD drive in Computer. This is for it's management software. The extra partition will need to be removed before doing the tutorial. The USB software may have a option to do it. If not, then this will show you how to. This will wipe the USB drive clean.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Hi, i've tried to make a USB Bootable Vista Installation Flash Thumb Drive with no success in the tutorial you say format with fat32





you the end up with a Successfully updated NTFS filesystem bootcode



Well when i format with Fat 32 i end up with Successfully updated Fat 32 filesystem bootcode

Can someone please explain why this is the case, i've tried both formats and i end up with a filesystem bootcode in which ever format i decided to select, why is it different in the tutorial?

Hello Andy,

Not sure why. Were you able to boot from the USB key afterwards with it as FAT32?

Okay I finally was sucessful in making a boot usb drive with Vista x64 on it, now a quick question.

After I boot up and run a clean install when Vista wants to do the first reboot do I need to change the bios as the system reboots or just unplug the usb drive so that it will look for USB not see it and then proceed to boot using the HD?

Bratboy,

You can change the BIOS settings when installation is done and after you get the "Preparing desktop for the first time" screen. :)

Ah okay so set bios to boot from USB - start up run the install, let it reboot(still set to boot from usb device and leave the USB drive connected let it reboot) then after the install is completly done THEN reboot and change the boot order in the bios.

Did I get that right? I was afraid if I left the usb enabled it would just try to rerun the install again hehe

Yep you have it right. During installation it will still need to access the USB drive to finish installing Vista. :)
