Default loop when installing windows 7 with Unetbootin
November 13, 2011 | Technology
Unetbootin is a handy tool for those who wish to install windows 7 through a memory stick. However instead of listing the win7 Unetbootin fails to recognize it on the disk. I ran into this problem the other day but found a neat solution.
The problem seems to lie in what file system the memory stick is formated with. You need to use NTFS, and not FAT32, for windows 7 to work through Unetbootin.

use an earlier version of unetbootin, one with a little check box to show all drives. version 494 should work.
