I spent a few hours the past week installing Windows on different devices. I installed Windows 7 on several machines and Windows XP on others. What made these installs easier than others I have done in the past is having the Windows install disk on a USB stick. This is especially handy for netbooks or other notebooks that lack an optical drive. While the install from a USB stick is easy to do, creating the USB sticks in a bootable fashion took a bit of effort.

A free utility comes to the rescue and makes Windows install sets drop dead easy to make. WinToFlash builds USB sticks from Windows installs with just a few clicks. It is designed to make the USB disks easy to make and easy to use, and that is a wonderful thing. I wish I had WinToFlash when I built my install sticks. WinToFlash works with Windows XP, Windows 2003, Windows Vista, Windows 2008, and Windows 7.
