Update 19-10-2009: Een alternatieve manier kwam ik vandaag tegen op http://garyshortblog.wordpress.com/2009/01/10/how-to-install-windows-7-beta-on-an-acer-aspire-one-netbook/. Ik weet niet of onderstaande methode ook gewerkt had, deze methode in ieder geval wel. Hou er rekening mee dat het formatteren van een 16 GB geheugenstick (die ik gebruikt heb) een poosje duurt…!
1. Attach the USB drive. Format it as NTFS.
2. Mount your iso file using MagicDisc, Daemon Tools, or Virtual CloneDrive.
3. At an elevated command prompt, enter the following:
xcopy d:\*.* /s /e /h /f g:\
where:
D is the drive letter for your mounted iso file (this could also be a physical optical drive with an actual DVD)
G is the drive letter for your USB flash drive.
If your drive letter mappings are different, make the appropriate substitutions.
XCOPY switches are described here.
4. Attach your USB drive to the machine in question and boot. You may have to go into setup to force the machine to boot from the USB device. You may also have to enable booting from USB in the BIOS.
