Win7/Win8 Bootable Pendrive



Win7/Win8 Bootable Pendrive

          Installing Windows from a USB flash drive has several advantages – First of all, the overall speed of the installation process will increase significantly, carrying a USB stick is much more convenient than a DVD, and finally it becomes possible to install the OS even on those systems that do not have a DVD drive, such as a netbook

Tools Required
1. USB flash drive with a minimum capacity of 4 GB. for win7 and 8 GB for  Win 8
2. Windows 7/windows 8 setup file or setup DVD.
Step-1: Plug-in your USB flash drive and backup all the existing data in it.
Step-2: Open the command prompt. If you are using Windows 7/8 then open it with administrator rights*.
(For Opening Command prompt Press Win Key + R edit CMD and Press Enter.)
Step 3: In the command prompt, type in the following command:
DISKPART
This will start the Microsoft DiskPart utility.
Now issue the following command:
LIST DISK
This will show you a list of  available disks on your system. Disk 0 is usually the hard disk.
 In my case, Disk 1 is the USB drive (this can be a different one in your case). 
Now issue the command as shown below
SELECT DISK 1
i.e. your USB disk Number.
the next command is 
SELECT PARTITION 1
now enter command  
ACTIVE
next is 
ASSIGN 
And Done.
EXIT 
Step 5: Insert the Windows 7/Vista installation disc and note down the “drive letter” of your DVD drive.
 In my case, it is “H:”
Now type the following list of commands as shown below:
H:
CD BOOT
BOOTSECT.EXE /NT60 J: 
(NOTE: J: is the USB drive letter
You Hav to replace J with your USB drive letter)
EXIT
OR if you have setup files in your PC then
open up CMD and goto BOOT folder in your setup file
 same as That we go to the Bin Folder OF java Using CMD of Win7/8
CD E:\win8\boot\
(this is in my case)
Now enter the command:
BOOTSECT.EXE /NT60 J: 

(Again replace J with your USB drive letter)
EXIT
Step-6: Copy the contents of your Windows 7/8 installation disk into the USB flash drive.
That’s it! Your USB stick is now ready to boot and install the OS for you. Don’t forget to enable the “USB Boot” option and change the “boot priority to USB device from hard disk” in your BIOS settings.

Note : Text Highlighted Are Commands You hav to press Enter After Each Command.
