Bootable from Pendrive --- WindowsVista/7/8


How to make bootable pen drive for windows Vista/7/8

(Make sure you have already connected your pen drive to your system)
·         Open command prompt  .
·         Enter command ‘diskpart’ (if you are using windows 7 then it’ll open new prompt otherwise not)
·         Then enter ‘list disk’
This command will show you all active disks connected to your pc. Then note down disk number which shows your pendrive (I assume that is showing ‘DISK 1’ as your pendrive)
·         Now enter command ‘select disk 1’ (Here change the number 1 with your pen drive’s number )
·         Enter command ‘clean’
·         Enter command ‘create partition primary’
·         Enter command ’select partition 1’
·         Enter command ‘active’
·         Enter command ‘format fs=ntfs’. (It will take few minutes)
·         Enter command ‘assign’ . (this will assign drive letter to your drive)
·         Enter command ‘exit’
It will close diskpart and returns to the cmd. (DO NOT CLOSE CMD)
·         Enter bootable DVD
·         Change default directory to DVD’s Directory
·         I assume that DVD’s directory is ‘f’
·         Enter command ‘f:’ (Change drive letter f with your DVD’s directory letter)
·         Enter command ‘cd f:\boot’
·         Now I assume that your pen drives drive letter is ‘I’
·         Enter command ‘bootsect /nt60 i:’ (Change i: with your pen drives directory letter)
·         Now close CMD
·         Open bootable DVD
·         Copy all the data
·         Paste it into your pendrive
·         After that restart your computer
·         Hit ‘f2’ (this is for one time boot menu selection… its varies with system. So first check what is your system one time boot menu selection command) and Here you go.
 Caution: This trick will not make bootable pen drive for Windows XP .You must have widows vista or higher as your operating system. These  commands won’t work on windows Xp
