It’s always a nightmare when I have to flash a Bios or boot a PC in a Dos mode for any other purpose (recover a corrupted partition). Sometimes because I don’t have a floppy drive on the PC, sometimes because I don’t find my Bootable CD with Win98, etc…
Fortunately, there are all the required utilities to create bootable devices (floppy, usb or CD) on the Bootdisk.com website.

My favorite utility being the one to create a bootable usb key (Method 1). It’s indeed
- nowadays very seldom to still have a floppy drive on a PC (an even much seldom to find a floppy in good condition)
- not practical to use a CD as even if it’s not a read-only one, to add some exe/files for the purpose of the operation is not always as easy as with a usb key.
As far as you are concerned with creating a Bootable USB Key from a Windows Setup ISO, You may simply use the “ISO to USB” tool.
For Windows 7, use the Microsoft “Windows7-USB-DVD-tool” – Official “Windows 7 Setup ISO” being available here.
