I just cant get win 7 usb tool to work and manual method using diskpart is total fail as well mainly due to not being able to mark volume as active. keeps asking me to select partition so I tried but refuses, I then went to disk management but cant do it from there either.

 

I was trying to make sense of this but it seems I am missing previous parts to this conversation?

 

Worked for me this way:

Code:

diskpart

list disk

select disk X

clean

create partition primary

select partition 1

active

format fs=fat32 quick

assign

exit

xcopy D:\*.* /s/e/f F:\

X = disk number
D: = source
F: = target (usb drive)

 

It would be for either a problem to work if the MBR of that stick/USB device is damaged! Try first to fix that MBR. You could download MbrFix, open an Command Prompt as Admin and run from there. To get the different Parameters run {drive}:\{Dir}\mbrfix /? first.

That's the correct command's which need to be run as Administrator. Normally the Assign commend should be before the Format command, but works after as well.

 

thanks man, these worked.

 

I was able to do it using s1ave77's commands, do I have to fix MBR still? how do I know if its damaged?

 

If it were working with Diskpart, then it's just fine and the Stick should be OK. Use MbrFix only if you could use the Stick in any means!

 

its just odd how win7 usb tool refused to do it, that's why I resorted to doing it manually.

 

It's possible that those USB Stick isn't accepted by Windows/MS, some, in fact quite a lot, are rejected by Windows! Also possible that something in the MBR of that stick isn't "normal" and that would prevent MS Software to do the job!

 

I kept getting an error that it can't copy files. -> It was because of a faulty USB stick.

My SanDisk Cruzer 8 GB USB stick was faulty.

 

Thanks for info.

 

you're are freaking spammer. Stop that BS immediately

 

Hello all. Stumbled across this thread while desperately trying to find an iso for Win 8 64 bit OEM. Came preinstalled on my new pc and was planning on swapping in an SSD but come to find out Microsoft has gone off the deep end with the way you can install 8. Will probably have to call Dell and buy a stupid disc but I really didnt want to wait I have my key and everything. Anyone know where I can find the ISO? Thanks.
