I have tried using "Windows 7 USB DVD Download Tool",ultra iso,unetbootin.But got no success ,when it boots it got some error and setup not continues

I don't know why and how do you get error. I have done it several times and never failed even once. IF you want a ready made solution, I recommend win2flash. If normal menthod, then I can explain.
Also for some unknown reasons that official USB tool you used didn't detect ISO in my case, so I never prefer that.

Best is DOS method.

you can use pxe boot(aka booting over lan)but i seriously doubt you can make it work if you are facing problems even with microsoft usb dvd tool.also confirm that your iso file is not corrupted by matching its SHA1 value with official microsoft SHA1 values for various win 7 versions.

how to check it weather it is corrupted or not.
But i have cleared all the 4 steps in microsoft usb dvd tool
.so maybe it is not corrupted

I have installed windows7 on my desktop in virtual box using that iso and it installed perfectly.Therefore my iso is perfectly fine.

Error that i was getting when booting from usb:*www.mediafire.com/conv/a93f9ee6bf7128db75fa9006fc59995f7b1883a6ce30625513c3b7dd9a1f61eb6g.jpg

^^Perhaps. pen drive is not working properly.All the files have not been transferred correctly.

get a new win 7 dvd...seems like the only option....

My "transcend v70" pen drive is only 36 days old and is perfectly fine.Please suggest proper solution.

^^How could i know how old your pd is until you wont mention it.
Anyways try booting using other usb drive if you can to make sure.

Have you tried cmd method of making bootable windows 7 usb drive.
Maybe that would solve the problem.

The command is list disk (notice the space)

Method 1:

Why don't you try to install win7 from network.

Share your pc with laptop over network and then install the OS.

Another method is as follows:

Method 2:
You simply extract the contains of win7 ISO to your USB pen drive. ( you can use WinZip to do it )
then,

Plug in this USB pen drive in your laptop.
then,

Start DOS and copy the contains of USB pen drive to your laptop harddisk.
then,

Start the installation of win7 from laptop harddisk.

Method 3:

Use an External USB harddisk to do the same as in method 2 above.

Does cmd listed the primary hdd of your laptop or is it not displaying anything at all.

*launchpad.net/win32-image-writer/+download

download the BINARY ZIP.

unzip and run/install

choose the image file.
if yours ins not showing, enter this in the title field, without quotes "*.*"
it will show all the files, then you can search and incleude

choose devide (muse be ntfs/fat32 formatted, format it beforehand)

click write, to write image to disk/device

I just now i tried on my external hdd manually but got error when booting .
Q1)Please kindly check the method 1 and 2.Can i do this? If yes then how?
Q2)I have installed windows7 from my iso earlier on my pre-installed xp.I just mount it and ran like any other software,and it ran in GUI,and dual booted it.Can i do the same in my dos laptop by just copying it to hdd and run it?

after spending 5 min on google searching this error almost all the replies suggested problem at hardware level:hard disk failing,bios corrupted etc.get a linux bootable pendrive image or hiren's boot cd hard disk diagnostic tool(preferred) & check your hard disk health.

Brother., try once Universal-USB-Installer i'm sure it'll work for you., the problem with other USB Boot tools is that they boot through linux bootloader., and it doesn't work for windows 7 installation and "Windows 7 USB DVD Download Tool" works with original (Genuine) win 7 ISO image only. ;-)

I tried with a genuine OS but it still didn't worked.

^^Thats wierd.
Devx is correct Windows Usb Tools works for genuine windows iso only.
I have used it for
Windows 7 32-bit HB.
Windows 7 32/64 Bit Enterprise.
Windows 8 32 bit Developer Preview.
Windows 8 32/64 Bit Consumer Preview.
Works fine for all my iso.

Thanks guys.i am going out of station therefore i will try again later and post the response after 2-3 days.

A1 : Yes you can. First partition the harddisk using fdisk command. Make two partition with FAT32.

Copy the contains of Windows XP ISO to partition 2.

Start the installation of Windows XP from partiton 2 onto partiton 1.

----
To Install Windows 7 , you will now have to repeat the steps above with the ISO of Windows 7. [ doing so will remove/ replace XP ]

Side Note : DOS cannot format partiton with NTFS. And Windows 7 only installs on a partiton formated with NTFS. This is the reason you will have to first install Windows XP.

There are other methods too , where you can by-pass the installation of XP, but it becomes little complex.

I am getting error :"NTLDR is missing Press Ctrl+Alt+Del".I have tried "Universal-USB-Installer-1.8.8.9" for it but got the above error.i have earlier used it for Ubuntu and it works fine but now giving error for windows 7. :banghead:

Please help.

Did you compare the hashes? If not do so once, so that atleast youll be sure of the authenticity of the iso. Theres a program called CyoHash, use it to check. Get the SHA1 of your version from microsofts website.

When this error occurs ? If you got this error while copying the ISO to USB then you should create another ISO to copy., NTLDR is the windows "bootloader" and required to load on boot and if it's missing than your flash-drive wont boot without it and UBUNTU have it's own bootloader - GRUB for all Linux OS's that's why you were able to install Ubuntu.

you are doing something wrong.NTLDR is not used by vista/win 7.it is replaced by winload.exe for these os.have you ever installed xp on the laptop you are trying to install win 7?
