Can find my ISO file

[Blitzkrieg469]

I have a thunb drive formatted to install window 7. I want to create another one but can't find my original ISO file for it. Is there a way to use IMGBurn to copy the contents of my USB drive to a folder on my computer for later use, or directly to anothe USB drive? Thanks

Nope, you can use Explorer to copy from the stick to a folder though.

Try something called USB Image Tool.  It will make images of USB flash drives to an image file and allow you to write them to other flash drives.  This is probably what you'll need since the flash drive is most likely bootable.

yes, my flash drive is bootable, and simply copying the files doesn't work.

 

I tried USB Image tool but ir says bootfile is corrupt even tho I have no issues when using it to do an install

No idea.  I've never had a problem with it.  Of course, I've never used it for a Windows 7 bootable flash drive.  Just Windows 8 and 10.  Windows 7 may be older than USB Image Tool and it can't handle its bootimage.

If the USB works on any install it seams that all the files needed are there.

 

You can make anytime another USB drive bootable with various tools (WinToolkit, Rufus, YUMI to name a few) and copy all the contents from the old to the new USB drive.

 

Also you can use ImgBurn to create a bootable ISO from the contents of the USB following the guide http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?/topic/11194-how-to-create-a-windows-vista-7-8-installation-disc-bootable-using-imgburn/
