![]() All you need is a 4GB (or larger) USB flash drive (with at least 3.5 GB of free space), a Windows XP, Vista, or Windows 7 installation disc, and Koala. But Koala makes creating bootable Windows USB intallation flash drives a snap. So what can you do? Most methods of creating bootable USB flash drives are really not meant for beginners – it can get quite complicated. But just copying Windows files to a flash drive is wouldn’t work. If you could make a Windows installation USB flash drive, not only would you have a backup copy of your Windows disc, you’d have installation media that would allow to install Windows much faster than from the DVD or CD Windows came on. Data access from a USB is much faster than a disc or even your hard drive (which does spin – unless you have a solid-state hard drive – which is like a big USB drive). USBs don’t spin! You probably already knew that □. This is because CDs and DVDs spin and have to be read by a laser. But even if you don’t have a netbook, did you know that installing Windows from a USB flash drive is much faster than installing from a CD or DVD? It is. Netbooks don’t come with optical drives (CD/DVD) drives – so how are you going to reinstall Windows if you need to? You can install it from a USB flash drive that’s how.
