Opening a Command prompt


 Inside a command prompt type “DiskPart” and press ENTER

 Once inside this new window
 type
in: ”list disk” . All active drives will be displayed to the
command prompt.
 Afterthat is done, you will want to select your USB. Typically, it's
always the smallest one in size, so you will always be able to tell
which one it is. Type in: “select disk 1” and press ENTER
 Cleanyour USB. Be sure to back up all data stored on
the USB you are using, because you will lose all your
data in this step. Type in: “clean” and press ENTER

 Type in: “select partition 1”.
 This will select the partition you have just created
 Now type in: “active” .

Formatting USB as continued…
 This could take awhile depending on the size of the drive and the processing power of
your computer. It could take anywhere from a few seconds to 45 minutes.
 Type in: “format fs=ntfs” .
 Or
 Type in : “format fs=ntfs quick”. (if you have 10TB it takes to long ) :-)
Once completed, type in: “assign”

Congratulations, you now have a bootable USB.


Type "exit" in command prompt
 Now.Insert your Windows DVD in the optical drive and note down the drive
letter of the optical drive and USB media. Here I use “D” as my optical (DVD)
drive letter and “H” as my USB drive letter.
 Go back to command prompt and execute the following commands:
 D: CD BOOT and hit enter. Where “D” is your DVD drive letter.
 CD BOOT and hit enter.
 After that type BOOTSECT.EXE/NT60 H: and hit enter. (Where “H” is your USB
drive letter).
 Once you have done that,
 Open the DVD from windows explorer(My computer).
 You might have to right-click, then click on "Open". select all that you see and transfer to your USB.
 Install your operating system.
 You will have to go into your BIOS, which can only
be accessed when your computer first turns on.
You have the option, when the computer boots,
to press F2 key and access your BIOS. When you
enter your BIOS, make sure your USB is plugged in
and go to boot options and then boot device
priority and make sure your USB is the first one
on the list. That way when your computer
reboots, it will load from the USB, thus enabling
you to install your Operating System.
