B- Create Using Command
To
create a bootable USB drive manually, we will use the Command Prompt as
a Windows default program. Here are step by step to create a bootable
USB drive as the Windows installation media. To create a bootable USB
drive as a Windows installation media, we require at least 4 GB for
minimum capacity. Larger capacity is better.
- Insert your USB flash drive to your running computer. As the first step, we need to run Command Prompt as administrator. To do this, we need to find cmd by typing 'cmd' in the search box on Windows Start Menu. After search result for 'cmd' appears, right click on it and select "Run as administrator".
- Type 'diskpart' on Command Prompt
- Type 'list disk' to view active disks on your computer and hit Enter. There would be seen that the active disks shown as Disk 0 for hard drive and Disk 1 for your USB flashdrive with its total capacity.
- Type 'select disk 1' and hit Enter.
- Type 'clean' and hit Enter.
- Type 'create partition primary' and hit Enter.
- Type 'select partition 1' an hit Enter.
- Type 'active' and hit Enter.
- Type 'format fs=ntfs quick' and hit Enter.

- Copy the operating system. Once the USB drive has been made bootable, you can copy over the installation files for the operating system you want to install. You can do this by dragging and dropping using your preferred file manager/explorer.
- Copy over any drivers you might need during the operating system installation to make the process much smoother.
