Hi,

Trying to create a USB boot disk. My disk is 4GB.

I've followed this guide: http://www.intowindows.com/how-to-install-windows-7vista-from-usb-drive-detailed-100-working-guide/

However, the windows files (ISO) are too big for the USB. Which files could I delete from this ISO so it will fit? I'm installing the 64 but version of windows btw.

Thanks,
M

I have a windows 7 installation USB that's 4gig
I'm guessing your ISO contains multiple languages, if so you'll need to remove the unnecessary languages which will reduce the ISO size to something that will fit on the 4gig USB.
