[Macpartners] Installing Windows7 on Boot Camp from USB

[Thomas Brand]

Good morning Zaira,

The easiest way I know of involves using a PC and Microsoft's free Windows 7 USB Download tool. (It works with Windows 8 and Server too.) it will take your Windows ISO file and make a bootable USB drive. Too bad you already need a PC to do it.

Hello!

I recently formatted my hard drive and need to set up bootcamp again. There used to be a way to save the Windows ISO file on a bootable USB using the Boot Camp Assistant, but I don't get that option any more. The second screen on the assistant only gives me the choice to "Download the latest Windows support software from Apple" and/or "Install Windows 7 or later version." I've tried "burning" the ISO to the USB using Disk Utility, but that doesn't work either. I'm running Mac OS 10.8.3 with the latest updates, by the way.

Is there a different way to do this with a USB?

Thanks in advance.
