Boot windows installation from USB driveĢ. These are my slighly tweaked instructions based on Druss':ġ. Then make sure you remove ANY other attached drives and restart your computer and the install will load directly from your main drive. From here you can type EXIT to close command. Therefore, this is what my working command looked like: Until I added this at the end of the command it did not include all the content needed to work. This is because you need to add another small command to copy over all directories, subdirectories and files within them to make the boot disk work. In my case the command was:ģ: Also in Step 4, the listed copy command only copied over 3 files, when the correct number should be 877 for a win7 install disk.

There may be other brands that work but I would save the hassle and buya Lexar stick and use that. I didn't have to go through all the copying files etc it just worked how it should the first time. I have used these sticks and never got the error again. I switched to using a Cheap Lexar 8GB Stick I got from Office Depot. I checked all the sticks I had and they were all Kensington. The Kensington Sticks don't work (as I think they are USB 3.0). I found the simplest solution ever!! The issue is actually the type of USB stick that you are using. I read through some of the fixes but none worked for me and frankly they were all pretty complex if you are trying to load multiple systems (I am creating images to PXE boot the other of the same model). I started refurbishing old PCs and started to get this error listed above when trying to load the OS from a USB stick as others stated.
