Windows 7: USB/DVD Download Tool

If you are planning to deploy Windows 7 on your PCs from downloaded ISO files, this tool can help you create USB or DVD installation media. These days, I download ISO files from MSDN or the Microsoft Volume Licensing website.

The Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool allows you to create a copy of your Windows 7 ISO file on a USB flash drive or a DVD. To create a bootable DVD or USB flash drive, download the ISO file and then run the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool. Once this is done, you can install Windows 7 directly from the USB flash drive or DVD.
