How to make a Bootable USB to your flash drive

Making a bootable USB flash drive for Windows Vista and Windows 7 isn't all that tricky, but it's always nice to find an app that simplifies things. Not only does WinToFlash make the process about as easy as it can get, but it can also create Windows XP, Server 2003, and Server 2008 installers.

The default options make it easy to roll a silent Windows install, or you can flip the custom switch and specify the exact setup parameters you want to use.

The handy app also has one more trick up its sleeve: moving Windows Preinstall environments. PE discs can be extremely handy for troubleshooting and repairs, and being able to painlessly zap them over to a USB flash drive means not having to burn a new copy every time someone's haggard old optical drive decides to chew up your CD.

WinToFlash is a free download and is totally portable. It's an excellent tool to add to your USB-related utilities.

Introduction and General Tips

You've already got enough trouble in your life, you don't need a problem computer.
But rather than taking an ax to your computer, let's try to fix it.
The following procedures generally apply to all Windows 95/98/Me/Win NT/2000/XP computers. When a solution only applies to a specific version of Windows, we will try to note this in the answer.
Before you start researching your specific problem in the following pages, please take a minute to review the following information:
A couple of quick InfoHQ Axioms on Computer Problems:
1. Most crashing problems are caused by software errors. If you computer operated normally for awhile, and then started crashing, chances are good you have a software problem.
          Answer: Before you Format your PC Check first your hardware, replace your memory, Graphic  Card, Processor, even the fan of your processor if you have a spare, if problem continue, try to format and install new OS
2. You have a pretty good chance of having a hardware problem if:
a. Your computer is in a bad environment (excess heat/moisture or is near other electronic components that cause magnetic interference e.g. unshielded stereo speakers, machinery, older TVs, etc.)
b. You unplug and plug accessories into your computer without first shutting off the power to your computer. This has a high likelihood of causing a short to your system as you could be charged with static electrically.
c. You have been working inside your computer. Chances are something is connected wrong or you inadvertently knocked a cable loose.
d. You do not use surge protectors or UPS to protect your computer from unusual electrical events e.g. storms, power surges, outages etc.
Note: While it is possible for a hardware error to cause software errors, it is very unusual for software problems to cause unrepairable hardware problems.
