Using the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool and run into "Windows 7 USB and No compatible USB devices detected"?
The tool doesn't like some USB drives (especially large hard drives inside enclosures). Just create it manually with diskpart and 7-zip (from a Windows 7 64-bit or 32-bit system of course). http://4sysops.com/archives/windows-7-usbdvd-download-tool-wudt-is-unable-to-copy-files/ Notes from above link in-case it goes dead:
Open an admin cmd prompt (Start, cmd, ctrl+shift+enter) diskpart list disk select disk # clean create partition primary select partition 1 active format quick fs=fat32 assign exit Extract the Windows 7 ISO to the root of the drive. If you want NTFS instead of FAT32 you also need to do "Bootsect.exe /nt60 X:" which you will find the bootsect.exe on the extracted drive in \boot\bootsect.exe This does erase everything on the USB drive. Be careful. |
