I have to admit I am not familiar with Command Line settings.
Perhaps someone more familiar Command Line/DOS can help us.

Ok Mike. Following the instructions givin here. http://tinyurl.com/Win7USB
I've
come apon a minor problem. It's my lack of understand of command prompts.
I've got the first 10 steps done. From the diskpart to the reformat (fat32)
and the letter and exit.
I don't understand the next part.
"once the first 10 steps are complete, mount the ISO and run the following
command."

*xcopy x:\*.*/s/e/f y:\*
" Where x is the drive letter of the mounted ISO "
I have the ISO on C drive and want to move it to I drive where it will be
all by it's lonesome.
This is what I get for not learning all the command stuff.
help.
Steve
