Windows 10: How to make a Booting Pen Drive for Windows 7 ?

How to make a Bootable Pen Drive to boot my Windows 7 Computer ?

Windows 7 booting off wrong drive?!?!?

Please move if this is in the wrong place.

I have two hard drives, a 1.5TB drive, and a 160GB drive. Windows is installed on the 1.5TB drive, as are all my files and programs. The 160GB drive has a bunch of old files, and apparently the bootmgr and boot folder. Nothing else is on the 160GB drive, other than media files etc.

If I remove the 160GB drive from the machine, windows refuses to boot, plug it back in, it works fine. The setup with two hard drives I have now is temporary, as the 160GB drive will go into another machine.

My question is, can someone give me a step by step on how to make windows force to boot off the 1.5TB drive, ignoring the 160GB drive in the boot process completely?
I don't know how to do this in Windows 7, on XP I would just run the /fixmbr command and its related ones.

Any help would be appreciated.

Note: I would really really rather not have to wipe and reinstall, I know it can be done without one as I've had this issue with XP before.

 

Dual boot Windows 7 with Vista problem!

I have windows 7 as my main OS and I am trying to install windows vista on it own partition for a dual boot configuration but when trying to install vista from my pen drive at the very beggining when starting to copying files it stops with this error: [0x0604ad] IBS Callback_CopySetupFiles:An error occurred while copying Setup files. Error code is [0x80070070][gle=0x00000070]

This stop error only shows up when installing vista from a pen drive! Using the Vista DVD it installs fine!

SO i wonder what is going on here? Seems installing vista from a pen drive to dual boot with windows 7 is not possible!

Only from DVD I can install vista for a dual boot configuration all is fine!

Can someone tell me what is the culprit here any experiences like this?

 

related to pen drive

Hi,

A Pen Drive or USB is a data storage device that includes flash memory with an Integrated USB interface, and is a Plug and play device. That said, your computer should easily recognize your Pen Drive without any issues. A software might be blocking it, or
an update is needed for it to work properly. However, let us isolate your concern by providing the answers to these questions:

• Is your Pen Drive working in other devices?
• Were there any changes (Updates, software installation) made prior to the issues?
• Have you tried using another Pen Drive on your computer?

in the meantime, we suggest that you insert your Pen Drive, and check if there's any error(s) in Device Manager.

We're looking forward to your response.
