Many of people face lots of problems once we got to format/reinstall windows on our pc.Very First thing we’ve to choose from where to install windows?
The choices available are optical disk(DVD) or USB Pendrive.Within the latest new netbooks, largely there’s no DVD drive. Therefore if you wish to install windows you have to choose the other option, i.e. USB Pendrive. Therefore here I’m providing a brief and 100% tested tutorial on
“how to create a Windows 7 Bootable USB Pendrive to install Windows 7 from USB Pendrive”
