| Installing Windows 7 without using a DVD or USB
You all may be knowing the installation process of Windows 7.It requires boot media like a DVD or USB key, use the Windows 7 installer, require you to upgrade or replace your existing Windows 7 installation, etc.. But here is a way to install windows 7 without using DVD or USB devices:- The only hard requirement is that you be running Windows 7 or Vista. We need to make room for the new Windows 7 install so we start by running DISKPART. So open Start, type diskpart and press Enter. Quote:

Right-click on the ISO file, select Open with and then select “Mount files with Virtual Clone Drive” to mount your ISO file. 4.

Hi All, Sorry to revive an old thread, but I would like to know if it is possible to inlcude an unattend using this method. I like the speed and size for deployment, but there is no panther directory with this method. Are you able to do a pre-install of win 7 similar to this? Thanks in advance. Cheers, Wes. |
