If you are like me and get OS’s via TechNet and MSDN, you’ll note that Microsoft has been storing them as downloadable ISO images. This means that in order to use them, you have to burn them to DVD or use some of the Software based Virtual DVD solutions. Well, one of my colleagues pointed me to a great article that will show you how to make a USB Drive/Flash Key Bootable. This is wonderful, because it means that I can just put the ISO’s on a USB Key and boot from there instead of having to burn DVD’s. This will be useful as I install the Win 7 Beta and Win 2008 R2 Beta on different hardware configurations in my lab.
I am trying it after I finish posting this article.
