There is no better tool for writing a bootable flash drive, but most often our users ignore the program due to the lack of Russian-language support. On the software forums, you can find comments that English language does not allow understanding the functionality.
But it will not take much time to master the functionality, but you can enjoy all the benefits of this utility.
If you used to be afraid of an unfriendly interface, and you used simpler utilities, after this article you will switch to WinSetupFromUSB. In that detailed guide we will teach you how to use the most common utility function.

Where to download WinSetupFromUSB

The program is present on many resources with software, but we do not recommend downloading it from there. It is highly probable that along with the distribution kit of the utility, you will also receive third-party applications in the load. And it’s good if it is ordinary “garbage”, but if malware?

Most the best way- download WinSetupFromUSB from the official source, the developer's site: . Currently, an updated release is available for download on a computer, not a beta version. On the this moment(December 2016) you can already download version 1.6.


The utility does not need to be installed. There are two versions in the downloaded archive - for Windows x32 and x64. Run the one you need and follow the instructions.

How to make a bootable USB flash drive using WinSetupFromUSB

The functionality of this utility allows you to not only create bootable flash drives. There are also four useful tools in the WinSetupFromUSB set that help you work with flash drives. But this option, creating a bootable flash drive, is the main one, so that's where we'll stop. After familiarizing yourself with the principles of the utility, you can easily, simply and very quickly be able to create regular and multiboot disks.


First step When you start the utility, the main window with options will open. At the top, press the button to select the USB flash drive to record. If there is information on the flash drive, it will be erased. For your flash drive to become boot disk, it needs to be formatted. You can also do this yourself using third party programs, for example, Bootice. But our guide is for unprepared users. Therefore, we enable the AutoFormat it with FBinst option in the WinSetupFromUSB utility.

Only new flash drives are subject to formatting, on which images of operating systems have not yet been recorded. And if you are already using a bootable drive and you just need to add another OS, do not use the AutoFormat it with FBinst option. In this case, formatting is not necessary.

Second step Here you need to tell the program what will be written to this USB drive. If you want to record the installation of several operating systems, such a flash drive will be called multiboot. Check the box for the required item and be sure to specify the path to the files that you want to write to the program. Enter the path by clicking on the button with ellipsis:
  • Win 2000, XP or 2003. If you need to write one of these older versions of the Windows operating system to a flash drive, select this option. Now you need to tell the program the path to the files: I386 (or I386 / AMD64). This can be done in three ways:
    1. insert the disk with the operating system and specify the location;
    2. create an image of an optical disk with an operating system and select a virtual drive;
    3. use the archiver to open the optical disc image and extract all the files to a new folder, and then tell the utility the path to it.
    If you are creating a bootable Win XP USB drive, specify the drive letter where the installer is located.
  • Win Vista, 7, 8, Server 2008 or 2012. If you need to burn one of these operating systems to a flash drive, specify where the optical disk image with it is located. In version 1.6, there were changes that were intended to make the WinSetupFromUSB program even easier.
  • UBCD4, WinBuilder, Win FLPC, Bart PE. If you need to write one of these operating systems to a USB drive, do the same as in the case of older versions of OS Windows (specify the path to I386).
  • LinuxISO, Other Grub4dos compatible ISO. If you need to write a Linux operating system or an installer of any useful programs, select this item. On a flash drive, you can write a set of software tools for restoring the operating system or special utilities that check your computer for viruses and remove them safely, for example, Rescue Disk from Kaspersky Lab. You can also burn Hirens BootCD - very useful software to "resuscitate" the computer after any failure. A set of utilities allows you to restore, test and optimize the operating system. Programs of this kind are created on the universal Grub4dos bootloader, which is used on Linux-like operating systems.
  • SysLinux bootsector. If you need to write a Linux operating system that runs on the SYSLINUX bootloader to a flash drive, select this item. Tell the program the location of the SYSLINUX folder. This item is unlikely to be useful for beginners, and experienced users know how to use the functionality of the WinSetupFromUSB program.


After adding all the files for installing the operating system, start the process with the "GO" button. Before you start recording, answer the program's warnings and prepare to wait.

If you are recording with WinSetupFromUSB to a Windows flash drive (seven or eight), be patient and do not interrupt the process. While writing windows.wim, you will notice that the program hangs. In fact, the process continues, it's just that the utility needs more time to copy it.

In version 1.6, the developers expanded the functionality and enabled users to burn large volume optical discs (from 4 Gb) to a FAT32 USB drive in EFI (Extensible Firmware Interface) mode.
