Making bootable USB pendrive/flashdrive.


Hi, today I am going to teach you a way to make a bootable USB drive. Actually there are many software that can do this job and there are many tutorial in YouTube about this topic but I am going to share mine with you. Ok follow the following steps,

1. Software you need:
 i. Universal USB Installer, Get it from here. 
ii. Img Burn v2.5.8, Get it from here. Softpedia mirror. For latest version please google it.

2. Things you need to do:
i. You need to have the copy of the OS dvd because we have to create bootable ISO.
ii. You should have a USB drive at least of 4 GB because most of the latest OS are nearly or more         than 4 GB. If your OS setup files is less than 4 GB then use USB drive according to it.


3. Lets start:
i. First download IMG burn and install it. You can use your own custom software if you know           how to create bootable image file from them.

ii. Download pendrivelinux.com's Universal USB Installer. You don't need to install it.

iii. Now open installed IMG burn. Here I am using a little older version but they are similar.


iv. Now click on Create image file from files/folder and locate your copy of OS folder. Here I          am going to use my Windows 7 ultimate. Remember the folder you selected must have exact f          files like in DVD.


vi. Now click on Advance tab and Bootable Disc.

vii. Now tick on Make Image Bootable option.

viii. Now click on the browse button(one with folder and magnifying glass) and locate efsboot in the boot folder in OS's folder(the folder which you have selected above in step iv.
ix. Now chage Sectors To Load to 8 if the OS which you are installing is Win. 7 or 8 and if it is          Win XP and similar then leave it 4 itself. I am installing Win 7 so I changed it to 8.

x. Now build the image by clicking at the button in bottom left of the program and locate where         you want to save the image and name it and click on save. In the middle of building process,          click yes to all options asked. Rename UDF if you want to.



xi. Now after a short time(maybe a minute) you will receive notification that the image is                    successfully created.


xii. Now exit Img Burn and plug in your USB drive then open Universal USB Installer. Click on         I agree and in step 1 choose the type of OS you are making bootable in USB. Here mine is               Windows 7 so, I have selected Windows 7 Installer.



xiii. Now in step 2 click on browse .ISO and open .ISO image which you have saved just before.



xiv. Now in step 3 select your USB by its drive letter.Here mine is J:/. For better performance                 format it by ticking on format option just beside.   





xv. Now click on creare and after the process complete the program will automatically make your        USB bootable.



NOW PUT YOUR USB IN THE COMPUTER WHERE YOU WANT TO INSTALL THE OS IN YOUR USB AND BOOT FROM USB BY SELECTING YOUR USB DRIVE AS BOOT DEVICE OR CHANGING USB BOOT PRIORITY TO NO. 1 AFTER BOOTING THE INSTALLING OF OS STARTS.








                                                                           Happy Modding.
