    Planning on doing a clean install of Win 7 soon so I've made a USB drive with a bootable Win 7. Can I now add some other files that I would like to have handy, (like drivers, the loader, etc.) on the same drive or will they cause problems???

    Thanks,
    Rubby

    You can include what you want as long as you leave the Windows Setup files unaltered.

    I recommend a program called RUFUS to create your bootable usb drive.
    It can even format to NTFS if you want, others mostly do FAT32.
