The application worked flawlessly on our Windows 7 x64 testing system. It supports Windows XP/Vista/7, and requires Net Framework 4.0.

I use also Hiren's BootCD From USB Flash Drive (USB Pen Drive)
Its pre-loaded wit zillion programs, that resurrects dead PC's : )

IMHO its 1 of top 3 LiveCD's out there.

It did boot into Windows 7, but that's it. How do I make it to boot with the other Utilities that I have on the drive?

Reply to jale1966

What are u referring to?

Post some more details on what u doing?

Reply to Nikorr

Hello

Sorry should have written the details first lol, at the moment I have the flash drive set to boot and it has Windows 7 Professional, and other files like the files you recommended, but when I try to boot the flash drive the only thing that boots up is the Windows 7, how I go about getting a menu for the rest of of the utilities on the disk. Need any more details please let me know.

I am looking for the best if possible and freeware. I am wanting it for a flash drive and CD/DVD so please let me know what you all think is the best other than Windows 7 Pro. Thanks

Dale, tell me what did u do, so 5 year old can understand : )

What tool did u used?

Reply to Nikorr

Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool, for some reason the files I downloaded from the internet were already ISO files, but when I use this tool it says they are invalid iso files when I browse and try to add them from my download file on the computer.

Reply to jale1966

Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool is only for Windows!


That's why I posted those other links for you ....

Reply to Nikorr

OK other than the Win 7 one which one should I use. Do have Nero 11. So in our own opinion which one is the best one out there. I also have ImgBurn is that a good one, if not just let me know the best one that I should use.
