MSI SMART TOOL

MSI SMART TOOL is a convenient tool that can help you to create your Windows

installation USB flash drive with USB 3.0 drivers, and it can also create a software

RAID.

Main menu

After installing and activating MSI SMART TOOL, it will display a main menu for you

to choose Win7 Smart Tool or Software RAID. Note that the Software RAID is only

available when your system equipped with at least 3 hard-disk drives (1 system disk

and 2 data disks).

WIN7 SMART TOOL

Before you can create your Windows installation USB flash drive, you’ll need to have

your Windows Installation DVD or ISO file, and also have a minimum of a 8GB USB

flash drive to create your installer. Be sure to backup files on the USB drive, this

process will erase it.

To create the Windows installation USB drive:

Step1. Choose source folder

y In the Source folder box, type the name and path of your Windows ISO file, or

click Browse button and select the file from the dialog box. (This option will copy all

Windows installation files and USB 3.0 drivers)

y If you already have the Windows Installation USB flash drive and just want to add

USB 3.0 drivers on it, you can choose Add USB drivers.

Step2. Choose Storage device

y Choose USB storage and select your USB flash drive in the drop-down list. In case

the USB flash drive is not listed, click the Refresh Drive button.

y If you want to install Windows on the PCIe M.2 RAID that was created by BIOS > M.2

Genie (please refer to BIOS Setup Section for details), check the M.2 Genie checkbox

to copy iRST drivers to the USB flash drive.

y Click Start.

Important

You can also create an installer ISO image file by selecting the ISO destination in

Step2, and then burn it onto the DVD. However, this method does not support M.2

Genie.
