Hey guys, I have come with another new article, this is how to make a USB bootable pen drive. Installing the operating system through bootable pen drive is very fast as compare to CD or DVD. It has solved the problems of net book users or one who are not having CD/DVD drive. It is easy to keep and use. As flash USB pen drive combines a number of older technologies, with lower cost, lower power consumption and small size, it is good to use and making it bootable increase its significance. The steps to create a bootable USB pen drive are as follows, • Insert your USB pen drive of minimum 4 GB capacity. • Type cmd in the start menu search menu and hit Ctrl + Shift + Enter. Provide administrator password or confirmation. • Or, click start > all programs > accessories > right click on command prompt and select run as administrator. • Or, open run, type cmd and hit enter. • Enter the following command in the command prompt, 1. DISKPART and hit enter. 2. LIST DISK and hit enter. 3. You will get the disk number of your USB drive. Disk 0 is usually hard disk. • Select DISK 1, if you have a different number on your system, then you need to replace 1 with that number, then proceed as follows, 1. CLEAN 2. CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY 3. SELECT PARTITION 1 4. ACTIVE 5. FORMAT FS=NTFS 6. ASSIGN 7. EXIT • Insert the windows installation disc and note down the “drive letter” of your DVD drive. Suppose ‘D’ as your DVD drive letter and ‘H’ as your USB drive letter. • Go back to your command prompt and execute as follows, 1. D: CD BOOT and hit enter. Where “D” is your DVD drive letter. 2. CD BOOT and hit enter to see the below message. 3. BOOTSECT.EXE/NT60 H:( where H is your USB drive) 4. EXIT • Copy Windows DVD contents to USB. • Now your USB drive is ready to serve as bootable pen drive. Please not that this does not work for non-flash USB devices such as External Hard Drives. You can reuse it by formatting the bootable USB pen drive for storing the data, you can also use the same bootable pen drive as storage medium by creating a separate partition in it for data storage.USB Flash drives are reusable. You can change the stuff it boots into, anytime. You don’t have to buy a new blank CD if you want to try a different OS or any bootable tool. You can also store your own files along with the bootable stuff. This is not the case with CDs which have to live forever with the data once written into it. Even if you use rewritable CDs, the performance decreases as number of rewrites increase. Friends, by following the above steps use can create a bootable pen drive, if you face any sort of problem, you can visit site of impcsupport, and it provides window support, online technical support and so on.
