Create a bootable pen drive

Filed under: Computer Science, Wat's New by Deepak 29 Comments March 6, 2011

Many times we need to have a bootable pen drive if we are a netbook user or sometimes we dont have a dvd to use, but to create one bootable usb drive is very easy if you follow the below steps:

1. Insert your formatted USB (4GB+ preferable) stick to the system. 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 or open RUN ,type cmd and hit enter. 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.

4. In this step you need to enter all the below commands one by one and hit enter. 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 Bootable USB now minimise the command window. 5. Insert your Windows DVD in the optical drive and note down the drive letter of the optical drive and USB media. Here I am using 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) USB Bootable 7. Copy Windows DVD contents to USB. now you have completed making a bootable pen drive , you can preserve it for any no of uses and format it too if u want it back to be used as a data traveller device.

NOTE:In making a pen drive bootable we convert it into NTFS format from FAT 32,this makes USB losses its efficiency,so,i prefer not to make pen drives bootable.

u r right chandru , it losses its efficiency (not so reasonable) but boosts up its performance and for the matter of making it bootable..its just the matter of need when the CD-DRIVE is not working and we need to boot our pc.

cd/dvdthats not a big dealjust copy the contents or burn the iso image of any os to a cd/dvdit will automatically become bootable.. the problem is in case of usb only.!!!!

Kiran Kunti June 29, 2011 at 7:21 pm

what is the iso image

Reply

engineersworld June 30, 2011 at 7:17 am

if you have to install an operating system u will need a live cd of that os.but if u dont have that u will surely copy it or use the preburned image of that os and iso is the preburned image of a cd by which u can use it to burn ur own cd later through windows itself or by 3rd party softwares like nero,roxio etc.
