1. Format the USB flash memory drive to FAT32 file system
Run CMD.EXE and type the following command. Note: This set of commands assumes that the USB flash drive is addressed as �disk 1�. Double check that by doing a list of the disks (type �list disk�) before cleaning it).

diskpart
select disk 1
clean
create partition primary
select partition 1
active
format fs=fat32
assign
exit
2. Copy Windows Vista�s DVD ROM content to the Flash Drive
