I could be wrong but the process will always need the memory stick/card being erased.

So make sure you backup/copy the files to your hard disk or other media.

--------------------

What about DIY?

 

I have done this process for a USB drive the "hard way" using the command prompt.

Maybe not your cup of tea?

I have never used this "Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool".

It's supposed to be easier and less risky to handle.

"Risky": as written you have to backup the files anyway.

The risk with the command prompt method would be using a wrong "disk number" :shock1:

It's quite easy to create a bootable USB stick that will install windows for you on a blank machine - the links KhunBENQ has given you will do the trick. If that looks too complicated, pretty much any of the IT stores in town will do it for you for a small fee, even JIB in Central. You'll just have to be sure that they actually install your legit copy and not whatever pirated version they normally use which will be bogged down with all sorts of crap you won't want or need. If you write down the serial number and give it to them, they should get the message and do it properly.
