Need help with Windows ISO

[JLozares]

I tried to use the Microsoft media tool from http://windows.microsoft.com/en-CA/windows-8/create-reset-refresh-media 

But everytime it finishes it just says theres an error that occured.

Am I doing it wrong, can I go about this a different way?

honestly, i believe the easiest way to retrieve an original iso is from a website called getintopc.com Just download it, put it on a bootable usb and done.

download a program called rufus, select the iso image that you download, and put the destination towards the usb that you have and wala, its a bootable usb drive

what about the other options on rufus, do I have to change those?

I mean the easiest way is just to look it up on youtube, its really easy, were you able to download the iso from getintopc.com

Load the ISO in it, select your flash drive, done.

Works with all versions of Windows, from XP to 10.

Um, it isn't just Windows 7. It might say so in the name, but I have used this tool multiple times to put not only the Windows 7 and 8.1, but also the Windows 10 ISO, made from the media creation tool, on a USB drive, it works flawlessly. In fact I'm retrying it right now just to "make sure" it really works, and it does.

And if you only see repair&remove when trying to install it, it means it's already installed.

i use 7zip for extract a 1:1 copy into a freshly formatted thumbdrive. usually works.

 

i also had a multiboot usb created using easy2boot. a little daunting knowing which extension to rename your iso files, but really helpful once you set it up properly.

 

I use it to load win7 repair, windows defender offline, hirens, acronis 2014, lenovo diagnostics, all on the same thumbdrive.

I used rufus, if i did it correctly and I open the usb should it have these folders "boot" "efi" "sources" 'support" and these files "autorun" "bootmgr" "bootmgr.efi" and "setup"
