If you are an fairly advanced computer user, at times you may need
to boot from devices other then the default hard-disk, mainly to
troubleshoot virus infections and other critical operating-system
related issues, I had shared tips on how to make bootable cd for
performing advance system tasks on windows. Today I will share few
utilities enabling you to create bootable USB pen drives with ease,
you need to have Motherboard/BIOS with USB boot support for this
to work.

MakeBootable is an free and simple-to-use utility to make your Pen Drive act as a boot-up
disk without erasing any data on the device. It consists of a single executable file and requires
no installation, However the utility will only work on USB device's using Phison’s chip
solution and FAT file-system only (you can re-format your drives to FAT easily).
Direct Download : Make_bootable.zip (465Kb)

If the above utility fails to recognize your USB drive you can download and use the HP USB
Format Utility and HP USB Boot utility, They work with other brands of flash drives as
well, The best software for creating bootable flash drives with the most extensive support of
drives and advance options would be "FlashBoot" from PrimeExpert but its not free and
costs around $31, you can download and try the demo version.

There are quite a few other manual methods to make usb devices bootable as discussed here,
once you succeed in making your USB drive bootable using any of the method discussed
above, You need to change the boot-up setting in the system BIOS as described below to boot
using your portable device:

1. With your device inserted, restart the machine.

2. Enter the BIOS setup menu to change the boot device setting.
 3. If the boot-up files are created in the USB drive, select USB-HDD or USB-ZIP
(preferred). If the boot-up files are created in the floppy drive of your device, select
USB-FDD (for Pen Drive that supports security mode).

4. Save and exit the BIOS setup. You should be able to boot up with you USB device.

MakeBootable is a free software which lets you convert your pen drive into a bootable media,
After making your pen drive bootable with makebootable you can use your pen drive like a
windows xp bootable cd.
Makebootable is so easy to use, as it make your normal USB pen drive a bootable media in
one click.
But there is a limitation, you will need to format your pen drive with fat file system in order
to make your device bootable.
Convert to FAT and use MakeBootable
1. Backup the existing files on the drive.
2. Perform a FAT format
3. Now Run Makebootable.exe to make your USB portable device bootable.
After making your pen drive bootable, go to your BIOS and select USB Device as First Boot
device in the boot device priority.

Making your 8Gb USB drive FAT & losing space...

Submitted by Anonymous on Sun, 08/09/2009 - 19:07.

Instead of making the entire 8Gb USB drive FAT and losing all of that expensive space,
format PARTITIONS onto it, and make the first one FAT, mark it "bootable", put your boot
sector, MBR, etc. on there, and put everything that doesn't need to go there onto the rest of
the thing, (which you DID format as NTFS, didn't you?)

This has worked for me ever since there were FlashDrives big enough to "outrun" the limits
of the current file-systems, and they still work today;
Why give up all of that "dollars-per-Gb" space when you can keep & use all of it?
Just figure up ahead of time how big the "boot partition" needs to be, & make the rest
NTFS...

I don't know why anyone's having to put ANY FAT-partitions on an 8- or even a 32-Gb USB
FlashDrive; My primary systems all use HDDs with nothing but NTFS on them, so the first
time I made a "pen-drive" bootable, I formatted it to NTFS, and it's always worked well...

The only reason I made ONE with a FAT-booter is for my older machines, that can only run
Win95 or Win-3.11, and which can't "see" NTFS, and I need to boot them in order to fix
something on the disk to make it boot normally again.

When in doubt, "RTFM"!

It's not the utility that has done this. It's the FAT file system that has a limitation on the size
of a partition. Max 4 Gb, I believe.
