Bootable USB with the help of Command Prompt

Hi HackVenture Readers!

Today I am telling you a trick for creating
your USB bootable with the help of CMD
prompt.

Here are the steps ...

1. First format your USB drive in NTFS file system.
You can do it by attaching your USB drive to your
system and then format it from My Computer window.

2. Now open Command Prompt window from Start menu.
Right-click on Command Prompt entry in start menu and
select "Run as administrator" option.

3. Now type diskpart in Command Prompt window and
press Enter. It'll launch DiskPart program:

4. Now provide following command:
list volume

It'll show a list of all drives in your system.
Look for your USB drive entry. As in the below screenshot,
the USB drive is "G" which you can determine from its "Type" entry.

Now you have to select the USB drive volume by providing
select volume no. command. Since in our case volume no. of
USB drive is "Volume 4", the command would be:
select volume 4

Now we have to make this drive active. So provide active command:
active

Now exit from DiskPart using exit command.

5. Now we need to create Boot sector on USB drive.
We'll use "bootsect.exe" utility for this task. You can find this utility in
Windows Vista setup disk. It'll be present in "Boot" directory.
Now provide following command in Command Prompt:

bootsect /nt60 G:

Here G is drive letter of USB drive. Replace it with the correct drive letter if
your system has some other letter for USB drive.

Here G is drive letter of USB drive. Replace it with the correct drive
letter if your system has some other letter for USB drive.

6. At last, copy all files/folders from Vista Setup DVD to your
USB drive and you have done.
