You don’t necessarily need an OS CD to install your OS into your computer. USB is more than enough. The activity is similar of transferring files to your computer but that can’t say it’s an easy job. Installing OS is a matter of patience.
This method is highly useful where you have a PC which doesn’t have a DVD drive or a tablet or any notebook that has ports only for connecting USB’s.
Requirements:
• A 4GB USB flash Drive. Know the details about the flash drive. (Know the details about your USB)
• Installation Files either from a DVD drive or an access to a computer which has Windows 7 that is working properly.
Before copying the installation files into your USB format it and make it into a bootable device.
Open a command prompt and run it as administrator. If you don’t know then search cmd.exe in start and select it. Do a right click and select run as administrator as shown:

Go to Start ->Programs ->Accessories ->Command prompt -> select run as Administrator
Step-2:

So type the following commands as shown.
SELECT DISK 1 (where 1 is the disk number or in here it is the USB number)
CLEAN (removes existing partitions including hidden sectors)
CREATEPARTITION PRIMARY (creates a new partition with default parameters)
SELECT PARTITION 1 (It focuses on the newly created partition)
ACTIVE (makes this partition active)
FORMAT FS=NTFS (takes time to format the disc depends on the size of USB)
ASSIGN(it assigns a number to USB. Note down it)
