I made a boot USB stick (4GB) using the information on the link. Thing is I haven't tried it for real yet - but one of the steps formatted the drive as NTFS (was Fat32) - I'm not sure if that's a requirement, but you might want to verify it. http://www.intowindows.com/how-to-install-windows-7vista-from-usb-drive-detailed-100-working-guide/
ive tried the method explained in the link when i type listdisk it onlly comes up with my pc hd not mem stick ive tried a few new things now when i boot from stick it finds it says ok then 30 sec later i get disk read error any help always appreciated
Initially, before starting the tutorial procedure, when you plug the stick into the USB port and go to My Computer is the stick listed as a drive? In my case, the stick is the 'H' drive 8GB and shows up as disk 3
