Coming back to bootable USB guide, here we assume that you are using
either Vista or Windows 7 to create a bootable USB.
1. Insert your USB (4GB+ preferable) stick to the system and backup
all the data from the USB as we are going to format the USB to make it
as bootable.
2. Open elevated Command Prompt. To do this, type in CMD in Start menu
search field and hit Ctrl + Shift + Enter. Alternatively, navigate to
Start > All programs >Accessories > right click on Command Prompt and
select run as administrator.
3. When the Command Prompt opens, enter the following command:
DISKPART and hit enter.
LIST DISK and hit enter.
Once you enter the LIST DISK command, it will show the disk number of
your USB drive. In the below image my USB drive disk no is Disk 1.
4. In this step you need to enter all the below commands one by one
and hit enter. As these commands are self explanatory, you can easily
guess what these commands do.
SELECT DISK 1 (Replace DISK 1 with your disk number)
CLEAN
CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY
SELECT PARTITION 1
ACTIVE
FORMAT FS=NTFS
(Format process may take few seconds)
ASSIGN
EXIT
Don’t close the command prompt as we need to execute one more command
at the next step. Just minimize it.
5. Insert your Windows DVD in the optical drive and note down the
drive letter of the optical drive and USB media. Here I use “D” as my
optical (DVD) drive letter and “H” as my USB drive letter.
6. Go back to command prompt and execute the following commands:
D:CD BOOT and hit enter. Where “D” is your DVD drive letter.
CD BOOT and hit enter to see the below message.
BOOTSECT.EXE/NT60 H:
(Where “H” is your USB drive letter)
7. Copy Windows DVD contents to USB.
You are done with your bootable USB. You can now use this bootable USB
as bootable DVD on any computer that comes with USB boot feature (most
of the current motherboards support this feature).
Note that this bootable USB guide will not work if you are trying to
make a bootable USB on XP computer.
