Mobile hard disk installed Windows 7 only needs two simple steps

Using a USB flash drive to install the system is nothing new, and the speed is much faster than the disc. I recently bought a mobile hard disk. I think that the speed of moving a hard disk is much faster than that of a USB disk. Is it faster to make a system installation disk? However, when using UltraISO to make a boot disk, I found that I can't identify the partition of the mobile hard disk. I can only write it in one area. Isn't it a lot of space? So how do you set up a mobile hard disk to install Windows 7?

Step 1: Set the active partition

In fact, in order to use mobile hard disk installed Windows 7, and method settings and not the same as U disk, without using any software. Plug in the mobile hard disk, set a partition as the boot partition, format it to NTFS format, then right click on the computer to select Manage, find the partition drive letter you want to set in the disk management, right click and select "Mark partition as active partition" , then click Properties to unset the option to "Compress this drive to save disk space."

Step 2: Unzip the image file

After setting the active partition, just extract the ISO image of Windows 7 directly to the root directory of the partition you just set, and then When the BIOS sets the first boot to "USB-HDD" and inserts the mobile hard disk at boot time, it can automatically detect the installation files in the active partition and start automatic installation, which is simpler and faster than using a USB flash drive.
