HOW TO CREATE A BOOTABLE USB
USING CMD?
Step 1: Using DISKPART command
Step 2: Creating Boot Sector
Step 3: Copying Installation Files
Step 1: Using DISKPART
command
1. Insert your USB storage in your running computer.
2. Access Command Prompt application by typing 'CMD' in the
search box of the Windows Start Menu.
3. From the search’s result, right click on the Command Prompt
application and select "Run as administrator".
4. Type 'disk part' in CMD (without quotes) and press the
enter key. Wait for a while until the DISKPART program runs.
5. When at DISKPART, type 'list disk' and press the enter key.
This will show the active disks as Disk0 for hard drive and
Disk1 for your USB flash drive including their total capacity.
6. The list disk command shows that disk 1 is the USB storage.
Type 'selectdisk1' to confirm that disk 1 will be processed
in the next step and then press Enter key.
7. Type 'clean' and press Enter to remove all of data in the
selected drive (disk1).
8. Type 'create partition primary' and press enter key. This
will create a primary partition which will be recognized by
Windows as 'partition1'.
9. Type 'select partition1' and press the enter key. This action
prepares ‘partition1' to be set as an active partition in the
next step.
10.Type 'active' and press Enter key. This activates current
partition as active.
11.Type 'format fs=ntfs quick' and press the enter key. This
formats the current partition as NTFS file system.
12.Type 'exit' and press the enter key. This will make you exit
from the DISKPART program. Don't close the Command
Prompt instead. We would still need it for next process.
Step 2: Creating Boot Sector
1. Let’s assume that the flash / USB storage is in D: drive and the
DVD installer located on drive F:. The first step, we will navigate
Command Prompt to set installation DVD as its active directory.
2. By default, Command Prompt's active directory for Administrator
permission is on C:\Windows\System32>. We will navigate
Command Prompt to set on DVD (F:) as its active directory. Just
type ‘F:' then press the enter key. This will change the active
directory to F:.
3. Type 'cd boot' and press Enter key. Active directory changed to F:\
boot>.
4. Type 'boot sect /nt60 d:' and press the enter key. This creates a
boot sector on D: drive (USB flash drive).
5. When done, type 'exit' and press the enter key to close the
Command Prompt. In this step, you were able to create a
bootable USB drive
Step 3: Copying Installation Files
1. To install Windows from a bootable USB drive, we just need to copy
the whole installation files contained on the DVD installer to flash
drive. To do this, open the Command Prompt as in previous steps.
Once it opens, type the command below and press the enter key:
Xcopy f:\*.* d:\ /E/H/F
Source Destination
Where: /E = Copies directories and subdirectories including empty
ones
/H = Copies hidden and system files
/F = Displays full source and destination file names while copying
2. Wait until all the files in the DVD installer copied to the flash drive.
Now bootable USB drive is ready to be used for installing Windows
from flash drive.
