Make a Flash Drive Bootable Without Any Software Easily

In this post I show you how to make a flash drive bootable without the use of any software.
Generally we install Windows with DVDs or CDs but these disks need more care and may corrupt after sometime. To get rid from these CD’s and DVD’s. We can use Flash Drive instead of these compact disks.

This tutorial is quite complicated and lengthy but not too much.

To Make your flash drive boot-able just follow the following steps:
1. First of all, open Run (Win + R) then type in the text box “diskpart” and press OK

2. After pressing OK, a command prompt like window is appear to you. As shown below.
3. Then type the command “list disk”, then select your disk as my desired disk is disk 1. So, I type “select disk 1” (As shown below). You can check whether you select right disk you can type “detail disk” after selecting a disk. (As shown below)

4. After selecting your appropriate disk type the following commands one by one.
Clean
Create partition primary
Select partition 1
Active
Format fs=fat32

The last command that is “format fs=fat32” may take some time according to your flash drive size.

5. After the format is completed, type “assign”. Now your drive’s drive letter is successfully assigned.

6. Then, copy the all files present in your DVD to the flash drive.

7. Now, open your Windows DVD and find its boot file. Normally for Windows 7 the following commands is used to link the boot file to the disk
H: CD BOOT
BOOTSECT.EXE /NT60 I:
In above commands the H: is my DVD drive disk letter and I: is my flash drive disk letter.

8. Now you can boot your flash drive to install windows.

9. Just select your flash drive to first boot drive.
By pressing F9, F10, F11, F12 keys simultaneously (May vary according to BIOS)
