Making bootable USB stick with Win7 install?

Ironic Namesake · 8 Nov 2010 at 15:43

I'm trying to make a bootable USB stick with Windows 7 install on it but having no luck - current PC I'm using now has XP on it without recent service packs (Hotel PC)

My laptop has issue with BOOTMGR which needs me to boot into Windows 7 repair module or reinstall - I have a legit license and Windows 7 ISO - how can I make a bootable USB stick? Tried few options I found online, none of which worked unfortunately

Microsoft themselves make a USB stick utility, I can't remember the name of it but I've tried it and it works perfecly.

I did find that before but unfortunately this PC in the hotel I'm using doesn't have the required updates to run that app, and I can't do the updates because apparently the license key used on this XP machine has been reported lost/stolen (from what I can make out from the Korean > English translation at least)

I recently made my Win 7 bootable USB using UltraISO.
Open your Win 7 ISO in UltraISO, select from the menu Bootable/Write Disk Image, select your USB drive & start. It's not free but you can still make the bootable USB in the trial version.

I used Windows 7 SBB Tool which seems to work fine
