Windows users have a lot of good utilities to create a bootable USB using an ISO file and then install Windows from a USB flash drive. Windows 7 DVD/USB Tool, UNetBootin, WinToFlash, and Universal USB installer are some popular utilities available for the job.

While most of the utilities mentioned above do their job very well, the only catch is that all these tools take a considerable amount of time to transfer the ISO onto the USB. Even though power users prefer creating bootable USB drive via command line to third-party tools, novice users always prefer third-party tools for the job.

    @Sanju: Some computers don’t allow USB booting (Especially pre-mades like Dell, HP, etc. If the disc won’t work, and the USB won’t work, your only real option is a local internet boot (sometimes called PXE, or Network boot).
    @Steven Ternes: If your carrier supports it, or if you are rooted (Gained root/ admin rights), you can USB tether to the computer, or WiFi hotspot your phone’s internet connection (Only valid are very rare handsets, and Android/ Windows Phone/ iPhone’s).
    @Ntalaluka: Nearly all Windows boot creators can use all operating system versions (Besides ME, 98, etc). The XP ISO you have should run just fine on Rufus, and install normally.

    Thanks for sharing Rufus. Win2Flash just takes too long for me, especially when I constantly need to wipe my hard drives for special reasons.
