This is a small tutorial is to install window from your USB drive,I have myself done this method to install window 7 ultimate edition on one of my friend laptop as his DVD Drive wasn't working & he want a complete formatting of his HDD from the starting,this can be done only by booting the DVD as the DVD Drive wasn't working ,so I create a bootable USB Drive to do the things for me .This guide is very easy ,you can also use this to solve your problems. HERE is the starting
THINGS ALL YOU NEED …
A USB Drive (Minimum of 4GB )
Window 7 installation files
THAT’s IT
Now let us start our guide…
Plug in you USB Drive to your USB port & backup all data from it as we are going to format it.
Open Command prompt BUT with AMIN rights , to do this just do the following
Click on the start menu & type CMD ,there comes a single result ,right click on it & click “Run as administrator”
see the SNAPSHOT BELOW.
You can use any method of your choice to open it but just remember to open it with admin rights
Type the command “DISKPART” NOW you have to find something more about your USB attached SO… TYPE “LIST DISK” & it shows the partitions of your USB and some unpartitioned space of your HDD , Now note down the Disk Number of the drive shown after the command ,You can easily find out the disk number of your USB just checking the space of each drive , in this guide my USB disk number is Disk 1
Now type these commands one by one , here I am assuming that your USB disk number is DISK 1, but if you have disk 2 as your disk number , just replace “DISK 1 “ from “ DISK 2”.
SELECT DISK 1
CLEAN
CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY
SELECT PARTITION 1
ACTIVE
FORMAT FS=NTFS
(Format process may take few seconds)
ASSIGN
EXIT
Now don’t exit the command prompt just minimize it.
Next insert your window 7/ vista DVD into the DVD Drive.
Note down the drive letter of your drive .In this guide my drive letter is I:
Maximize the command prompt again and follow the instruction or type these command ,just remember to replace your DVD drive & USB Drive letter to the corresponding ones in this instructions.
I: <Where I is your DV Drive letter>
CD BOOT
Now Type
BOOTSECT.EXE /NT60 K: <Where K: is my USB drive letter >
Once you have entered all the commands above . COPY all the material from your DVD Drive to USB Drive.
Now your bootable pen drive is ready to install windows . just Boot from it & install window 7 normally u do !!!
Note: If you are not able to boot after following this guide means you haven’t set the BIOS priority to USB. If you got any problem in following this guide feel free to ask questions by leaving comment.
