make bootable usb from iso mac windows 7

Recovering the administrator password was a whole other situation that I tried to figure out, and have had no luck with either. So we cannot run the Windows 7 setup.exe from Windows itself. To further complicate things, the reason I am trying to install Widows with a bootable USB, is that the computer only has guest user access (One guest user account, and one administrator account with an unknown password). Is this possible Note: The Mac is telling me it needs to be FAT32, but there is no option in the creation tool. However I NEED it to be FAT32 for bootcamp on my Mac. Whenever I use the Windows 7 USB/DVD creation tool, it formats the stick to NTFS. When I extract my files from the downloaded ISO, I only have the following I need to create a Windows 7 bootable USB stick. I bought my copy of Windows from the Volume Licensing Service Center, and downloaded the ISO directly from Microsoft, so I have no physical media, and the ISO itself appears to be somewhat different from what people describe if they own the DVD.įor example, some of the guides I have read mention extracting the ISO (the one from the DVD) so that the user has access to bootsect.exe, and other files important for creating the key.

I think the most important thing to note in my case, is that in all the guides I have read the people having trouble creating the USB key have gotten their Windows 7 ISO from a DVD that they own. The furthest I have gotten is an error saying 'BOOTMGR is missing'.

I have read several different methods for how to create the USB key, most of which have not worked for one reason or another. To using the 'Windows 7 USB DVD Download Tool' to create the USB drive after having downloaded a third party application and getting a bunch of bloat ware and malware from the program (even though it was a highly rated CNET download). I have a 64GB USB key that I am trying to use to create a bootable USB install disk. This computer does not have an optical drive, but does have several USB slots. I have a computer that I need to reinstall Windows 7 Professional on.
