(as is the case with virtually all modern hardware), promote your USB drive to
the primary boot device.

Method 2
Step
1: Format the Drive
The
steps here are to use the command line to format the disk properly using the
diskpart utility. [Be warned: this will erase everything on your drive. Be
careful.]
Plug
in your USB Flash Drive
Open
a command prompt as administrator (Right click on Start > All Programs >
Accessories > Command Prompt and select “Run as administrator”
Find
the drive number of your USB Drive by typing the following into the Command
Prompt window:
diskpart
list
disk
The
number of your USB drive will listed. You’ll need this for the next step. I’ll
assume that the USB flash drive is disk 1. Replace the number “1” with the
number of your disk below.
select
disk 1
clean
create
partition primary
select
partition 1
active
format
fs=NTFS
assign
exit
When
that is done you’ll have a formatted USB flash drive ready to be made bootable.
Step
2: Make the Drive Bootable
We
shall use the same command window that you were using in Step 1:
Insert
your Windows Vista / 7 DVD into your drive.
Change
in to the directory to the DVD’s boot directory where bootsect lives ie the DVD
drive letter I will asume its d
type
d: in the command prompt window
cd
d:\boot
Use
bootsect to set the USB as a bootable NTFS drive prepared for a Vista/7 image.
I’m assuming that your USB flash drive has been labeled disk G:\ by the
computer:
bootsect
/nt60 g:
You
can now close the command prompt window, we’re done here.
Step
3: Copy the installation DVD to the USB drive
The
easiest way is to use Windows explorer to copy all of the files on your DVD on
to the formatted flash drive. After you’ve copied all of the files the disk you
are ready to go.
Step
4: Set your BIOS to boot from USB
This
is where you’re on your own since every computer is different. Most BIOS’s
allow you to hit a key at boot and select a boot option.
