Create a USB Installation Drive with UltraISO: Archived Windows 7 Example

This archived example uses UltraISO on Windows 7 to prepare a USB installation drive. Its seven figures are English illustrations of the original Chinese interface; they are not captures of a newly performed write. Obtain the intended installation ISO from its authorized source and verify the image and the target server’s supported boot method. Back up the USB drive before writing: the operation can overwrite its existing data and partition layout.

1. Start UltraISO with the required rights

Install the appropriate UltraISO release, then start the application. The source figure right-clicks the desktop shortcut and highlights Run as administrator. This differs from its prose instruction to double-click. Use the rights required by the tool and local policy; the vendor’s English forum also identifies administrator elevation as a remedy for a device-enumeration issue on Vista/Windows 7.

2. Open the intended operating-system ISO

Choose File → Open, browse to the intended installation ISO, and choose Open. Confirm that the selected file is the image for the actual operating system, architecture and server. The source selection dialog uses a Windows 7 Ultimate x86 ISO; its truncated name is not enough to identify a complete, verified download.

English illustration selecting the source Windows 7 ISO — The folder breadcrumb and selected filename are abbreviated. Unrelated Chinese-named files are omitted; their names have not been translated into new filesystem paths.

3. Open Write Disk Image

Return to UltraISO and choose Bootable → Write Disk Image. Insert the intended USB drive and identify it in the Disk Drive selector. Check its drive letter, capacity and physical device identity before proceeding; the example shows M: and an 8 GB device, not a drive letter or minimum capacity that every system should use.

4. Check the image, target and write method

In Write Disk Image, confirm the selected image and USB target again. The example uses USB-HDD+ with Verify unchecked. The vendor’s archived English Windows Vista/7 walkthrough also recommends USB-HDD+ for that workflow. This does not establish support for every Windows installer or firmware configuration.

English illustration of the target drive and USB-HDD+ before writing — The Chinese ISO filename is deliberately abbreviated as G:\OS\...iso. The unclear USB manufacturer text is omitted; the drive letter, capacity and write method are retained.

The original article additionally suggests RAW for Linux. Treat that as an archived source suggestion, not a universal rule for every Linux ISO. Use the distribution’s documented media-writing method for the exact image and the server’s firmware mode. This figure demonstrates USB-HDD+ only; it provides no RAW-write or Linux-boot result.

When the target and inputs are confirmed and the necessary backup is complete, choose Write and review any destructive-operation confirmation. Do not select another disk merely because it occupies the same position as the example. Wait for the operation to finish without disconnecting the USB drive.

English illustration of an intermediate USB-HDD+ write — The short green bar and Starting write log show work in progress. The source records C/H/S 973/255/63, WinVista/7 boot sector and 5152163 ISO sectors; no final percentage or success message is shown here.

5. Check completion and test booting

Check the actual tool’s final status and any errors before safely removing the media. The source prose says the write is complete, then shows the drive icon and volume label GRMCULFRER_ (M:), with 5.00 GB free of 7.44 GB:

English illustration of the resulting Explorer volume icon and capacity — An icon or volume-label change alone does not verify a completed error-free write or a successful server boot.

Insert the prepared media into the intended server and choose that USB device through its supported boot menu or boot-order settings. Follow the server and operating-system documentation for the required firmware mode. Verify that the intended installer starts before proceeding with installation and its separate target-disk choices. The original figures do not show that boot test.
