How To Make a Bootable Pendrive

Hi,

   I have created this blog on my own experience and i am 100% sure that it will work . use it and get
   benified :)
there are many ways to make a pendrive bootable. Either you can use some commands on command prompt (some times which can create  a great headache). I experienced that it will be better to use a suitable software. that is why i suggest some appropriate
softwares as follow :-

1. If you want to make a bootable pendrive for any linux/unix kernel operating system then download
    Power ISO or Linux Live

Note : (
                      I have used "Power Iso" if u are also thinking to use it then follow these points :
            1. download power  Iso.  
            2. Install it.
            3. Insert your pendrive ( which you want to make bootable).
            4. Run power Iso as administrator.
            5. go to the tools option select make a bootable pendrive.
            6. now follow the instructions.
            )

2. If you it for windows 7/vista/xp then download  Novicorp WinToFlash or Iso Burner and install it then follow the instructions.

Note : I have used  Novicorp WinToFlash.  it's so easy to use. try it .

At last if u want to use the command line to make a pendrive bootable then follow following steps :


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 bootable.

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 >Accessories > right click on Command Prompt and select run as administrator.

3. When the Command Prompt opens, enter the following commands:


DISKPART and hit enter.

LIST DISK and hit enter.

Once 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 commands one by one and hit enter. As these commands are self explanatory, you can easily guess what these commands do.

SELECT DISK 1 (Replace DISK 1 with your disk number)


CLEAN

CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY

SELECT PARTITION 1

ACTIVE

FORMAT FS=NTFS

(Format process may take few seconds)

ASSIGN

EXIT



 
Once it is done, copy the windows DVD contents to the pendrive.

one more thing :- do it on your risk.

Note: This bootable USB guide will not work if you are trying to make a bootable USB on XP computer.

I hope it will be helpful :) bye. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
