Create Windows 7 Bootable USB Drive From ISO File & Installation by Softlay Editor Updated 3 May, 2018 This tutorial will help you with the installation of Windows from image (.iso and.img) file using USB Drive. After you download the ISO package, burn a CD or DVD from an ISO file Insert the CD or DVD into the affected computer, and then restart the computer. Follow the instructions on the screen, and then after the uninstall is complete, remove the disk and then restart the computer. If we don't have one, it's quick, easy, and free to create a Windows installation disc or bootable Windows USB. We just need to download a Windows ISO, and then use Microsoft programs or free third-party applications.
I have, over time, encountered numerous problems which have caused me to repair/restore Windows 7. I don't have an optical drive installed on my system which causes me various issues including not being able to download the repair disk image. I was wondering if anyone knew a way in which I could use the Windows 7 'Create a System Repair Disk' feature with Windows thinking my USB drive is a DVD drive through some kind of script.
Alternatively, if anyone could provide an alternative method to download a repair ISO. I've tried to go through Microsoft's site and enter my product key, but for whatever reason, it's not valid anymore.
If anyone can help me with this issue, it'd be highly appreciated.

Just tested Syberdoor's idea and it worked. KernSafe's TotalMounter (a free lil tool) did the trick. I got Windows 7 to create a System Repair Disk on file and then copied the files over to USB.
