Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool Creates and Makes Bootable DVD Disc or USB Flash/Hard Drive from ISO Image
Microsoft customers who download Windows 7 installation files through Microsoft Store, MSDN, TechNet, MAPS (Microsoft Partner Action Packs Subscription) Software on Demand Digital Distribution, or Volume License Service Center (VLSC), will get an ISO image file which is an archive file or disc image of an DVD optical disc.
Most people will choose to burn (or write) the Windows 7 ISO to DVD disc media to start the installation. Some people may also opt to
To let customers have an easier way to burn and write the Windows 7 ISO image to a physical DVD media, USB flash drive (or USB stick), or external and portable USB hard disk drive, Microsoft Store has released a Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool (WUDT), which also known simply as ISO Tool published at
Although burning an ISO to a DVD disc is easy, but converting Windows 7 ISO to a USB drive is much more complex, because ISO cannot be directly ‘burned’ or ‘wrote’ to USB drive. Copying all the content inside the ISO to USB drive also does not work, as the USB drive is not bootable. Hence, WUDT is very useful for Windows 7 users who want to port and transfer Windows 7 setup installation files to USB flash drive or external hard disk, which is also bootable.

Does’nt work. I have a 160 Gig portable usb hard drive in perfect working order, empty and which is found by windows every time it’s plugged in, whether it’s my pc or anyone elses.
I have tried this USB/DVD tool and it does’nt even find the drive.
It says “No compatible USB Devices Detected”
Funny how it’s compatible with everything else I throw at it.
It has booted up and installed Windows 7 previously without any problems. Since then it has been wiped and used just for storage. Any ideas for a fix would be welcome. Thanks.
That is Great.
the working accuracy 100%, trasted & Virus free.
thanks for this software
