Having a bootable USB is very essential, especially if you are a Netbook user. Using
bootable USB to install an operating system (OS) not only makes the installation faster,
but also saves a DVD.
Creating or using an USB drive to install Windows operating systems is very easy if you
follow the below mentioned steps.

Coming bac k to bootable USB guide, here we assume that you are using either Vista or Windows Server 2008 R2
Windows 7 to create a bootable USB. Awesome Windows 7 Themes
1. Insert your USB (4GB+ preferable) stick to the system and backup all the data from
the USB as we are going to format the USB to make it as bootable. Pages
2. Open elevated Command Prompt. To do this, type in CMD in Start menu search field
and hit Ctrl + Shift + Enter. Alternatively, navigate to Start > All programs >Ac c essories About
> right c lic k on Command Prompt and select run as administrator. Contac t Me
3. When the Command Prompt opens, enter the following c ommand: Friends
Privac y
DISKPART and hit enter.
LIST DISK and hit enter.

Onc e you enter the LIST DISK command, it will show the disk number of your USB drive.
In the below image my USB drive disk no is Disk 1.
4. In this step you need to enter all the below c ommands one by one and hit enter. As
these commands are self explanatory, you c an easily guess what these c ommands do.
SELECT DISK 1 (Replac e DISK 1 with your disk number)
CLEAN
CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY
SELECT PARTITION 1
ACTIVE
FORMAT FS=NTFS
www.intowindows.com/bootable-usb/ 1/14
(Format process may take few seconds)
ASSIGN
EXIT
Don’t c lose the command prompt as we need to exec ute one more c ommand at the next
step. Just minimize it.
5. Insert your Windows DVD in the optical drive and note down the drive letter of the
optic al drive and USB media. Here I use “D” as my optical (DVD) drive letter and “H” as
my USB drive letter.
6. Go bac k to command prompt and execute the following commands:

D:CD BOOT and hit enter. Where “D” is your DVD drive letter.
CD BOOT and hit enter to see the below message.
BOOTSECT.EXE/NT60 H:
(Where “H” is your USB drive letter)
7. Copy Windows DVD contents to USB.

You are done with your bootable USB. You can now use this bootable USB as bootable
DVD on any c omputer that comes with USB boot feature (most of the current
motherboards support this feature).
Note that this bootable USB guide will not work if you are trying to make a bootable USB
on XP c omputer.

In my experience, w e don’t need to do these complicated setup like yours.
What I do is simply use the ‘format’ option for the thumb drive in W indow s Explorer
(right-click menu), by using the default settings. Then, extract the files in the ISO image
into the thumb or simply copy all the files from setup folder to drive, and then
plug’n’boot. The command prompt and code are no needed.
I have tried this simple method many times and they all w ork on my 4 computers,
because I heard that USB booting is originally supported in Window s Vista or higher.
PS XP is absolutely incompatible w ith this function

Sunny, because of retards like you I could not make a bootable USB stick till now .
Everyone that was posting this type of tutorial did the mistake called “THINKING ON HIS

SO FUCK OFF.
And thanks for the tutorial.

And I also have unkind words for people w ho underexplain this process because I have
been tearing my hair out for the last 3 days trying to get a bootable usb to put XP no my
netbook without any luck. There is no reason this needs to be this hard.
So, to be clear w hen you say this ‘won’t w ork with XP’ do you mean:
a.) If you’re on a PC running Window s XP and you’re trying to make a USB Installation
drive to install XP/Vista/7/w hatever.
or do you mean
b.) If you’re trying to create a USB Installation drive to install XP.
Eh?

How to create a bootable USB drive to install W indow s xp
35. Sobaixu
Po sted February 4, 2010 at 1:09 am | Pe rm alink
I follow ed this guide and it is not accurate. I have made some minor edits to help others
who have the same issue as me after follow ing this giude. aka. Boot mgr is missing
error…
So here’s the REAL working guide.
Guide to making a bootable USB drive using Vista or Windows 7
(Note: this guide w ill not w ork on WinXP.)
1. Insert your USB stick into USB port (MUST be 4GB or higher).
(Note: Backup the data on your USB drive as w e are going to format it.)
2. Open the Command Prompt: (follow steps listed below to do this)
Go to Start Menu >
All programs >
Accessories >
Right click on ‘Command Prompt’
Select ‘Run as Administrator’
3. When the Command Prompt opens, enter the following command:
DISKPART (hit enter)
LIST DISK (hit enter)
(Note: Once you enter the LIST DISK command, it w ill show the disk numbers of all drives
connected to your PC)
4. In this step, enter all the below commands one by one and hit enter:
SELECT DISK 1 (Replace “DISK 1″ with your USB drive’s disk number, For example: If your
usb is 4GB,
and Disk 2 shows 4000mb disk size, type SELECT DISK 2, as that is your usb drive)
CLEAN
CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY
SELECT PARTITION 1
ACTIVE
FORMAT FS=FAT32 (Format process may take a few minutes, depending on the size of
the USB drive)
ASSIGN
EXIT
(Note: Don’t close the command prompt as w e need it for the next step. Just minimize it)
5. Insert your Windows DVD in the DVD drive.

Note the drive letter of the DVD Drive and USB Drive.
(Here I use “D” as my DVD drive letter and “F” as my USB drive letter)
NOTE: Drive letters can be assigned or changed. In the start menu right click
“Computer”,
select “Manage”. A window will open. Select Disk Managment (Near the bottom of the list
on the left side panel), Right click a drive to assign, change or remove the drive letter).
6. Go back to command prompt w indow and execute the follow ing commands:
D: CD BOOT (Where D: is your DVD drive letter) And hit Enter.
BOOTSECT.EXE/NT60 F: (W here F: is your USB drive letter) And hit Enter.
XCOPY D:\*.* /S/E/F F:\ (W here D: is your DVD drive, and F: is your USB Drive) And hit
Enter.
8. Wait for DVD contents to copy to USB.
You are done w ith your bootable USB. You can now use this bootable USB as bootable
DVD on any computer
that comes with USB boot feature (most of the current motherboards support this
feature).

Alternatively, use this handy application that does it all for you, even makes XP bootable
usb drive.

window s-xp-vista-7-w ith-wint/
37. tvshub
Maybe this w ill help, no warranty that this info is accurate, but some of it is.
-bootsect.exe is on Vista disc, not on XP disc.
-XP uses NTLDR, Vista uses BOOTMGR (OS setup different between xp & vista)
-USB stick format must be w hat system BIOS can recognize as bootable — some older
BIOS version only boot devices w ith FAT16, and there’s some other stuff that we are still
learning about. So, this is w hy everyone may get different results. Computers are like a
box of chocolates, you never know what you w ill get, and they melt in your hands if
you’re not cool.

This w ill make your USB drive bootable for installing Windows XP Vista etc.
After Making Bootable USB Drive go to your computer’s BIOS and select USB your first
boot device. If your Hard Drive or DVD ROM is your first boot device then it will not work.
One thing for sure not every computer has USB Boot option available in BIOS. Hope It
helps. Kamran Khan of Shabqadar

Have you checked if you are using the right letter for your usb drive? I mean if I am doing

type this: “bootsect.exe /nt60 K:” probably that’s why w e can get that error message…

Its a very nice description by the way and w orks good. though i have a suggestion…i.e.
ASSIGN AND EXIT w here exit looks like that if w e write EXIT it will go out of the
COMMAND PROMPT. but it actually goes out of the PARTITION PROCESS. so make it clear
to other people that it w ill just go out of the partition process. Not all of the people think
much upon this thing..Thanks…best of luck

Hi, I think you can’t use ‘assign’ command without selecting volume. What i did before
assigning is hitting the following commands-
LIST VOLUME
SELECT VOLUME # (volume number of usb drive)
ASSIGN

Hey guys, Can it be possible to boot w in 2000?

@Arpita:
The CD command changes directory.
First, are you sure that your DVD drive is D: ? Verify the drive letter by going into My
Computer. The drive letters for all attached drives should be listed, alongside w hat they
are. I.E., “DVD Drive D:”.
As far as I know , the only thing that w ould cause a “Cannot find the file specified” error
is if D: is not actually the directory for your DVD drive, or if the DVD isn’t in the drive. I
think it may also happen if the DVD is unreadable, but I think that gives you another
error.
@karim:
It might be *possible*, but this tutorial is specifically for W indow s Vista and Windows 7.
You might have to ask Google about that one…although, I’m not sure if any hardware
that can only run Windows 2000 is able to boot from USB. I could be w rong, though.

*** You must have Vista or Win 7 on your computer for the above method to work ****
*** It w ill NOT work if you are trying to do this from a computer w ith XP ***
Because the “Diskpart” command in XP does NOT WORK w ith USB Flash Drives.
Also, you can NOT put XP on a USB flash drive using this method (XP is NOT designed to
install from a USB drive.)
