Windows media creation tool

[Justinas]

I need to create bootable flash drive so i can install windows on new pc, but when i run media creation tool it doesn't let me choose where i want to install it, it's dowloading straith to hard drive and ignores flash drive. I tried it several times and it does same, ignores flash drive...

What can i do to install windows on flash drive without installing it in hard drive?

The flash drive needs to be at least 4 GB. That could be one reason the MCT is skipping straight to ISO

That's unusual. Try a different PC maybe? Or use USB2.0 port instead of a 3.0. Which version of Windows are you trying to create? Windows 7 might be problematic.

Hi,

 

try formatting the USB drive. I think FAT32 is the recommended file system for when you create a bootable USB, but don't quote me on that - verify on Microsoft's instructions page.
