    Is it possible to Install Windows 7 using SD Memory Card?
    as this is possible for a USB?
    considering you need a new driver when windows 7 is installed?

    many thanks

    I think it is possible.
    I created a partition(4GB) of my External HDD. After that, I insert the boot-code into the specific partition using Command Prompt. After that, I copy Windows 7 into the partition and it works.
    I think it would be similar using SD Memory Card. But which option should we choose at the BIOS?
    In addition, this method is not a good because SD Memory Card runs very slow. So, the installation speed will be very slow too.
    USB Flash Drive, External HDD and SSD is much more convenient because they are faster.
