How to Make Pen Drive/USB Bootable easily | Two Easy Methods


Generally we install  windows from CD/DVD Rom. It takes more time to install windows. Have you ever tried to install windows from Pendrive/USB Stick?

If you install windows from USB Stick/Pen-drive , it takes less time than DVD/CD Rom. If your DVD or CD Rom is not working then it  is the best way to install windows. In  which computers (Netbooks) DVD Rom is not available, Boot-able pendrive is most important thing to install OS, Live DVD/CD and others.

So today I am going to tell you what is the process to make Pendrive bootable. I will tell two easy methods-

1. Dos/cmd Method
2. Software method



Method 1 :

( Make Pendrive/ USB Stick bootable by Command Prompt )

Without any software using command prompt you can make bootable pendrive very easily.Just follow these below steps-Step 1 :

First of all format your Pendrive/USB stick in NTFS format.

If you are using Windows Vista/7/8 then format the pendrive just in NTFS format not in FAT32.




Or you can use Command prompt to format your pendrive in NTFS format.


  • Open command prompt (Start >All Programs >Accessories > Command Prompt)
  •  Write command :
    convert H:/fs:ntfs    [ H:=Pendrive's letter ]
  • After sometime pendrive will be formatted in NTFS format.

 Step 2 :

 Now insert the CD/DVD into your DVD drive.

Step 3 :
Now go to command prompt and Run it as Administrator
(Start >All Programs >Accessories > Command Prompt [Right click >Run as Administrator])
Step 4 :
 Write command :
       F:          [ F:= in this drive you inserted windows dvd/cd,change it as your computer shows ]
       cd F:\boot      
       bootsect /nt60 H:     [ H:=Pendrive's letter ]
Step 5 :
You are almost done...
Now copy the whole DVD/CD and paste in the Pendrive/USB Stick.
 Now you can setup windows from your pendrive.No need of DVD/CD drive.


Method 2 :

I have tried many softwares to make a USB stick bootable and these cannot satisfy me. After long time I got a software, by which you can make bootable pen drive easily. This software size is only 700 KB.
