How to install a file with gadget extension. What is the GADGET file extension? The wrong version of Microsoft Windows is installed

Before installing the system, you need to understand how to write an image of Windows 7 to a USB flash drive, then set up your computer to install Windows 7, and begin the installation process. If you visited this page, then you are having difficulty creating a bootable USB flash drive or disk. Here you will find answers to all questions.

To write an image of Windows 7 to a USB flash drive, you will need specialized tools. There are quite a few of them, but we will describe them all. As an example, let's talk about UltraISO, USB / DVD Download Tool and many others.

Step 1: What you need to capture a Windows 7 image

Any operating system image or programs is the generally accepted format that most utilities recognize. The most popular image format is ISO. It can be written to flash drives, hard disks, CD-DVD media. The format is somewhat similar to archive ZIP or RAR. In general, this is an image of an optical disc and is a single file or archive containing any other type of files. Modern operating systems already have built-in tools for working with the format. You can use third-party software: UltraISO, DAEMON Tools, Alcohol 120%, PowerISO, ImgBurn, ISO Master and many others.

Before choosing an OS image, you need to figure out in advance the bit depth and volume that it will occupy on the media. There are 32 discharge systems (86x) and 64-bit (64x). Here you can find out about the differences in these bit depths. The scope of the systems is also different. Below is a table of all editions of Windows 7 with system requirements:

Editorial staff	RAM		Processors	KernelsCPU
	32x	64x		32x	64x
Windows 7 Ultimate	4 GB	192 GB
Windows 7 Professional
Windows 7 Enterprise
Windows 7 Home Premium		16 GB	1
Windows 7 Home Basic		8 GB
Windows 7 Starter	2 GB

Using these characteristics, you can choose a system for yourself. In this article, we will consider two programs, using which it is possible to write an image of Windows 7 to a USB flash drive: UltraISO, USB / DVD Download Tool.

You can download tools from resources without viruses from here:

USB / DVD Download Tool.
UltraISO.
Command line.

Step 2: How to burn a Windows 7 image to a USB flash drive using UltraISO

Download the program from the above link or from your source and install. Using the trial version of UltraISO can accomplish the intended task, so you don't have to search for the version with a key. After downloading and installing, we perform the following steps (I also advise you to read the article if you work with optical media :)

We launch the program. If it is not complete, then we use a trial period.
Insert a 4GB or 8GB flash drive, preferably larger, into the USB port.
In the program, click on the tab with the mouse "File" — "Open" and select the image file Windows 7 Ultimate (Maximum) or any other version.
Files will be automatically loaded into the program window, which are displayed in the right section. Now you need to click on the "Bootstrapping" tab and select the option "Burn Hard Disk Image".
At the next step, select the USB flash drive (Disk Drive), the image file that is already registered, the recording method USB-HDD +... It is worth noting that files that are already on the USB flash drive will be destroyed.
Click on the button "Burn".
A message appears stating that the disc information will be erased. We agree with the "Yes" button.
Preparation for recording begins, and then the process itself, which does not take much time.
The end of the operation is accompanied by a message "The recording is complete!".

The finished flash drive can now be used for its intended purpose.

Step 3: How to Burn Windows 7 Image Using USB / DVD Download Tool

We launch the program from the desktop. A window will open where you have to perform four steps. The first step is choosing ISO imagebut the operating system. Click the Next button.
Next, select the type of media, in our case USB Device.
Select the medium and click "Begin Copy".
Next, formatting of the flash drive and copying files will begin.

After copying, the flash drive is ready to install Windows 7. It is worth noting that using the USB / DVD Download Tool you can burn the image to a DVD or Blu-Ray disc.

Step 4: How to burn a Windows 7 image to a USB flash drive using the command line

If you have the Windows operating system at hand, using its capabilities, you can create a bootable USB flash drive. We will use the command line. Run this tool as administrator and follow these steps:

IN command line (CMD) we enter the command for working with disks: diskpart... Using it, we will format the media and write the ISO image files to it.
After entering the command above, the user will find himself in the utility for working with disks, which is characterized by the line "DISKPART\u003e".
The next step involves displaying all drives connected to the computer. For this there is a command list disk.
You need to select the media that will be used as bootable. Here we focus on volume. For example, now a 30 Gb flash drive is connected here, in the "Size" column this volume is indicated. To choose this disc, you need to register select disk N (your media number). When choosing, be very careful, because it is very easy to make a mistake here.
We proceed to copying files to a USB flash drive. We mount the system image (so that it appears in the My Computer directory) and, in the command line, go to the created image disk.
Using the commands, go to the boot directory and execute the command bootsect / nt60 N... Where N is the letter of the flash drive intended for installing Windows
Copy the image files to a USB flash drive.
Installing Windows 7.

Some users will find it a little difficult to use the command line as there are many commands to enter. The probability of making a mistake increases many times over here. Therefore, we recommend using UltraISO or USB / DVD Download Tool. The following articles will cover other utilities:

Using all these tools, the user will figure out in no time how to write an image of Windows 7 to a USB flash drive. In this material, third-party and staff funds to create such a medium. The next material will be about how to create a bootable DVD with Windows 7. This use case is losing popularity every year, as DVD drives are embedded in computer systems less and less, and flash media are replacing optical disks.

We run additional programs from the DATA-ADMIN7 folder.
From the WPI-MINI folder, run the wpi.hta file and select programs for silent installation.

The assembly is intended:
To facilitate the installation of Windows7 for novice users (downloaded the directory, copied it to a 4GB flash drive and re-installed within an hour, the main user software is assembled and there is no need to rack your brains with assembling the flash drive).

For advanced users, those who want to bypass the process of installing, linking, and verifying a USB drive. it takes time.

It is also intended for owners of laptops without a CD-ROM.

And for those who are convinced that the boot time from the CD-ROM has passed, because Booting from USB is more convenient, faster and more reliable.

Convenient and proven assembly, a real LEGO constructor.
All the simplicity is that all files can be copied, deleted, supplemented, without any pre-boot actions, through different utilities.
Having copied the contents of the downloaded WINDOWS7 USB directory once to a USB flash drive, you will no longer waste time installing boot actions (burning, extracting an image, ticking the check box after recording, oh! The disks are over):
- Familiar words? You will forget the disk drive at all. Moreover, it is convenient and fast, as much as USB 2.0 allows. For example: you need to uninstall the program - delete it, you need to download it - copy it. It is better to use the DATA-ADMIN7 directory to create your own folder. You can edit the bootloader and WPI itself, but if you can. In general, everything is copied as in a regular folder on your computer.

6) Next, in the diskpart utility itself, enter: list disk, this will display all the physical disks of the PC, namely disks and not partitions.
Among them we are looking for our flash drive.

7) Then we execute the command select disk #where # this is the number of our flash drive.
In this case, the flash drive on the screen at number 1, therefore s elect disk 1... All further manipulations will be carried out only with this disc.
8) We execute the command clean, clear the drive, then the command create partition primary - create a new partition on the disk.

11) Next, you need to activate the process of connecting the device and assigning letters to it, we do this with the command assign.
That's it, the preparation process is complete.

Installing Windows 7
Distribution can be recorded with any file manager or free.
In this case, you need to somehow open the image installation disk with the OS, you can do this with any disk emulator, Alcohol or MagicDisk, create an image and copy everything from it with a file manager to our prepared USB flash drive.
That's it, the process of creating an installation flash drive is completed, now we are trying to install the OS by setting it in bios.

Well, that's all, which of the four ways to create a bootable USB drive to use is up to you.

Inclusion in BIOS boot from a flash drive
Before you start installing Windows 7 from a USB flash drive, you need to go into the BIOS and enable booting from a USB flash drive.
To enter the BIOS, you need to press a certain key when the computer boots. On desktop computers this is the Del key. On laptops, the most commonly used key is F2.
Usually, when you turn on the laptop, a screen appears on which at the very bottom there is a line in which it is written which key you need to press in order to enter the BIOS.
If you do not have such a line, then information on how to enter the BIOS should be viewed in User Manual walking with a laptop.

1) Insert the USB flash drive into the laptop if it is not inserted.
2) Turn on the laptop, if it is on, then reboot.
3) Go to BIOS.

For example, the whole process will look like it is shown below, if your BIOS is different, then the principle will remain the same. If you have any questions, write in the comments.

4) Go to the tab Boot... In it, in the order of loading, we need to put our USB flash drive in the first place using the arrow keys and keys F5and F6... That is, with the arrow keys we select our flash drive, and with the key F6we lead her to the very top.
To find out which keys you need to use to set the boot order, see the tips on the right.
The name of the flash drive must appear in the line USB HDD.
Also, a flash drive may appear in the line USB KEY.
To save changes and exit BIOS, press the key F10... (The key may differ depending on the manufacturer of the BIOS; see the hints on the right or below.)

5) A window will appear in which in English it asks Save changes and Exit? You take Yes.

6) After that, a reboot will occur and the Windows 7 installation process will start.

Installing Windows 7 from a USB flash drive

If bootable USB drive with Windows 7 was created with winSetupFromUSB programs 1.0 Beta 7, a green screen will appear first. Please select Start Vista / Win7 / Server 2008 Setup or PE / Recovery ISO from partition 0.
