Imagine a situation where you need to install Windows Vista or 7 in a system but you don’t have access to DVD drive. We all know Windows Vista, Server 2008 or 7 comes in DVDs and you’ll need a DVD drive to install them. Then how will you install them? The solution is, you can create a bootable USB drive which can be used to install Windows without using DVD drive.

Requirements:

    * A USB Drive (4 GB or more)
    * Windows Vista, Server 2008 or 7 ISO image or DVD
    * Host OS: Windows Vista (SP1 or SP2), Server 2008 or 7

How to use:

Once you meet the requirements, run the utility. Its a portable utility so doesn’t need installation. Simply run it and check the option “I have read and accepted the following License Agreement”. Now click on OK button and it’ll launch the main application.

It also shows a Help window so that you can use the utility easily. The utility requires only 4 easy steps to follow:

    * Check USB drive (To check whether your USB drive is attached or not)
    * Format USB drive
    * Choose DVD or ISO image (To copy the required files to USB drive)
    * Start the process to create bootable USB drive

Hope it will fix ur problem.

Boot Manager is compressed
If by accident having compressed the entire boot partition, then Vista will display the following error:

BOOTMGR is compressed. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart

Check points for fixing compressed boot-manager:

* Boot into Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) and perform a “Startup Repair”.

* If the above doesn’t solve the problem then boot into WinRE again, but when selecting the Vista-installation, then       press “Load Drivers” (Instead of “Next”) and use the mini Windows Explorer to right-click the boot-drive and deselect       “Compress this Drive” and choose Apply to sub-folders and files.

* If that also fails then boot into WinRE again, and go to the “Command Prompt” and execute these commands:
o compact /U C:\bootmgr
o compact /U C:\ntldr

secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\inf\defltbase.inf /db defltbase.sdb /verbose
