Install Linux Mint From Usb Windows 7

I want to install Windows 7 professional 32 bit in my netbook, i know that i can. But i don't have a external dvd writer.

Would you like to try out the popular Linux Mint OS on your Windows computer or netbook? Here’s how you can do it even without a CD/DVD drive with the Mint4Win.

Only some spare usb. I have a PC with Debian, and the netbook with debian too. What i want to do is buy it in microsoft, download the iso (i understand that is possible to select that option), and then create a USB to install windows in the netbook,without need of use a dvd. I could download it to the netbook,and then copy the iso to the pc, for example. I have been investigating a bit, and there are two or three posibilities.

First, using virtualbox, create a VM, and install windows 7 in it, with the downloaded iso, then copy the iso to the vm, download the 'Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool' and use it to copy the iso to the usb, but inside a windows 7 vm. Then use the USB to install windows 7 in the netbook. Second, Use dd (linux comand) to copy the iso to the usb. It would be something like: Open up a terminal, your going to need to find what device is your pendrive. If you have the drive mounted you can find the name of the device by typing 'mount' and looking at it's entry. Something like the following: /dev/sdb1 on /media/USBDISK type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal,uid=1000,utf8,shortname=mixed) In this case the first partion of /dev/sdb is mounted at /media/USBDISK.

Open a root shell and unmount the drive. Umount /dev/sdb1 Go to the directory where your ISO is stored in a root shell and type in the following: (Replace windows7.iso with whatever the iso is called, and /dev/sdb with the device id of your usb stick).

This will get the installer on the pendrive not the OS itself.

This is what i have found in a comunity about servers and like. The only 'problem' is that this does require that your motherboard is able to boot USB-CD / USB-CDROM not just USB-HDD, but this shouldn't be a problem as, my netbook, in the boot section has,USB-CD,USB-HDD,USB-FDD, and a few more 'USB-something',so this method, i think could work, no?

A third method that i find is this: Not allways dd works.Basically, the missing step was to write a proper boot sector to the usb stick, which can be done from linux with ms-sys. This works with the Win7 retail version.

Here is the complete rundown again: Install ms-sys Check what device your usb media is asigned - here we will assume it is /dev/sdb. Delete all partitions, create a new one taking up all the space, set type to NTFS, and set it bootable: # cfdisk /dev/sdb Create NTFS filesystem: # mkfs.ntfs -f /dev/sdb1 Mount iso and usb media: # mount -o loop win7.iso /mnt/iso # mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb Copy over all files: # cp -r /mnt/iso/* /mnt/usb/ Write Windows 7 MBR on usb stick: # ms-sys -7 /dev/sdb.and you're done. I suppose that my iso will be retail also,and should work also. Anyone have some experience in creating a windows 7 usb from linux? What is in your opinion the most reliable method? I think i will try dd or perhaps the VM,although i think dd should work. Windows 7 ISOs are like any other no?

If with dd you can copy a Debian 6 ISO to the usb,and install debian using the usb (this is not supported,or better said, yet implemented officialy by debian, but works, as i tryied it, and i could install it in the netbook), with the windows 7 iso should happen the same, no? ( I cant get a external dvd writer, or use a windows laptop / pc,not with admin rights, nor be sure that hasn't any viruses / malware, that is a thing that worries me a lot). I personally am not very familiar with linux, but basicly all that you need to do. In whatever way you do it is the following: Format a usb flash drive, either fat32 or ntfs create a partition that is large enough to host the windows installation (give or take 3GB for 64bit, aroudn 2.5gb for 32bit) and mark that partition as active/bootable. Since this can be done with windows, but just as well with a tool like gparted, you should be able to do the same in debian. Once you have created that partition, mount the iso that you download, and copy all files starting from the root, into the root of the usb flash drive.
