ISOs Hi Armageddon and thanks for the reply (hmm - Armageddon - should I be nervous?), firstly - why the hell can't I have a working enter/return button in here - I am tired of writing in one long line! Secondly - I should be soon receiving two disks from our central it dept. with the appropriate 32 bit and 64 bit windows OS on each. When they have arrived I will begin the cd to usb transfers. When these come I will report my progress. Cheers, Tim

I am attempting to create a Windows 7 bootable usb drive. I have gone through all the steps needed and will soon be ready to copy windows 7 (32 and 64 bit) on to the usb drives (sticks / flash drives - the usb data jobbies). The aim is to be able to reinstall a netbook with Windows 7 - they have no cd drives so usb is the best (and only real) option. Question - can anyone explain the difference in layman's terms between FAT and NTFS? If I format the USBs to NTFS will I still be able to reformat a netbook - I have always used FAT drives and a little wary of NTFS - should I be? All comments are welcome, Tim
