Bored of installing operating system from CD? Here’s the easiest method to create a bootable USB drive to install any OS on your PC/Laptop. I have tested this method on both Windows & Linux OS, and works neat without a glitch. Actually, its more easier and faster than the other methods we used to make our USB drive bootable. Before initiating this how-to, download the operating system that you would like to install to your PC/Laptop. Here’s the link to download Windows 7 32-bit Ultimate x86, Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate x64, and Linux Ubuntu.
