*** How to create Windows XP,Windows 7,And

Windows 8 bootable pendrive using Command


Prompt ****
Pen drive installation process for windows is much faster than DVD/CD. There
are some simple steps to make bootable pen drive which can be used for
installing windows in future as well. For this you need a pen drive having
minimum space of 4 Gb and a Installation DVD of Windows XP/Windows
7/Windows 8.
Now just follow this steps:1. First off all you need to format the USB drive / Pendrive:-Run the Command Prompt as an Administrator(start->run->cmd)
-Now to find the drive number of your USB Drive, you need to type this and
press enter every time.
diskpart

list disk

-Here you can see the disk listed.Note down the disk number of your pendrive
for the next step. here the disk number is 'Disk 2'.
-Now type all these words/commands to format the drive:
select Disk 2
clean
create partition primary
list partition
select partition 1
active
format fs=NTFS
assign
exit

-Now the disk partition program will exit and youll have a formatted USB
flash drive ready to be made bootable.

2. Now to make the bootable pendrive, follow this steps:-

-Now insert the Windows Installation DVD to your DVD drive.


-Now assume that DVD drive is G and Pendrive as F
-Now type G:CD BOOT
-Now type this command bootsect /nt60 F: to update your USB drive with
bootmgr code.
-Finally copy all the contents from the Windows DVD to your Pendrive.

Here you have created the bootable pendrive. Now what you need is to make
your BIOS to boot from USB. So follow this steps:- Insert your pendrive to the PC and reboot the system.
-Now Enter the Bios system accordingly by pressing the key (mine is
F10).This is where youre on your own since every computer is different. Most
BIOSs allow you to hit a key at boot and select a boot option.
-Now select the USB/ Pendrive as the first boot driver.
- Now save the settings in Bios and restart and you will be able to Install
Windows using that pendrive.

Thank You ...
