Many of us face a lot of problem when we have to
reinstall windows on our computer or laptop. First thing we have to decide from
where to install windows? The options available are DVD or USB Pendrive. In the
latest new netbooks, mostly there is no DVD drive. So if you want to install
windows you have to go with the other option, i.e. USB Pendrive. So here I give
a brief and 100% tested tutorial on how to create a Windows 7 Bootable USB
Pendrive to install Windows 7 from USB Pendrive.
First thing, you should check whether your BIOS supports
booting from USB. Most of the computer/laptops support. But if your BIOS
doesn’t, then sorry, you cannot boot from a USB Pendrive.
Second thing, you need another computer with Windows
installed with a DVD drive, to copy its contents later.
So let us start with the procedure now:
1) Run command prompt (cmd). This can be done by clicking
start and typing typing cmd in Windows 7. In Windows Xp, click on start and
then click on run. Type cmd and run. This will open the command prompt which
will look like this:
2) Then
run diskpart utility from command prompt, by typing ‘diskpart’ on command
prompt and pressing enter. This will run the diskpart utility in a separate
windows, which is shown in 2nd picture below:
3) Now
put in your pendrive in a USB port. Your pen drive must be atleast 4 GB, 8 GB
pendrive is best for this purpose. Now go back to the diskpart console and type
‘listdisk’ and press enter. This will list the various storage devices
available. You can see the size column of the disk and here we can see that
‘disk 2′ is our pen drive. Warning: In your computer it may be some other
number. In our case it is ‘disk 2′.
4) Then you have to type ‘select disk 2′ and press enter.
Note: in our case it is disk 2, in your case it may be disk 3, or disk 1 or any
other number. You can enter ‘detail disk’ to see the details of the disk after
selecting it to verify that you have selected the correct disk. You can see
these steps in the image below:
- 5) Then you have to run a series of commands. The commands to
be run in the order are:- clean
create partition
primary
- select
partition 1
- active
- format
fs=fat32
These steps are
shown in the image below:
7) After the format is complete, put in your original Windows 7
DVD in your DVD drive, or if you have an .iso image of the DVD, mount that
image using any virtual drive software like Power ISO.
- Now go to My
Computer, and open the contents of DVD Drive. Press ‘ctrl+a’ to select all
contents and copy all the contents by pressing ‘ctrl+c’.
- Now go back to
My Computer and open the USB Drive and press ‘ctrl+v’ to paste all the contents
of DVD into the USB Disk.
When the copy finishes, you are done
just remove the USB Drive safely and use it to install Windows 7 in your
computer/laptop.
OR
HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool will format any USB flash drive,
with your choice of FAT, FAT32, or NTFS partition types.Additionally, the drive
can be made bootable by using system files from Windows 98 startup-disks.
By default on USB flash file system of FAT32, because of what
files measuring more than 2 Gb writing down is not possible. By the program HP
USB Disk Storage Format Tool it is possible to change the file system of your
flash on NTFS.It has a graphical interface very similar to that of the Windows format tool.
