Or, instead of going through this ridiculously and uselessly complicated and frustrating procedure, just boot any pc with your copy of Win7 and USB drive attached, go to the Repair my computer option, select the tools, go to command prompt and just run diskpart. This article reminds me of what NASA did in the 60s : they spent 60 million public US $ to manufacture a pen that would write in zero gravity. The russians used a pencil.

I installed win7 in virtualbox its perfect in host os but when I reboot and want to boot from usb this error appears:bootmgr is missing and when I COPY bootmgr from setup dvd the error changes to ‘boot/bcd is missing and when I copy boot/bcd from dvd or system the error changes to “0xc000000f” =.My host was 7 and the usb is “kingmax 8G” I realy want to have a portable usb to revive any dead system or other usages.Virtualbox is perfect and easy to use but why I can’t boot the damned os from usb??

Hi Mayhem

Kingston sell a 4GiB USB with a Windows friendly portable on it that I use for my stuff with external computers running Windows. You can install just about anything onto the USB and have your own personal OS when away from your own computers. I use it for VLC and Firefox alot so know it works fine.

From here onwards, you need to follow the onscreen procedure to create a virtual disk and install Windows 7 on USB. Follow the install Windows 7 on VirtualBox guide to complete the process. I don’t see detail here. I have the portable VM on my 16gb flash and now what? I have the full Windows 7 in my DVD drive. I have installed mini XP on a flash and XP boot flash for istalling XP to a netbook that has no CD and that was not exactly a piece of cake since I don’t do this every day.
