Thread: Installing OS using flash drives, in few simple steps

K, this is one common and easy to follow method, and improves your installation speed by great extent!!!

Just run diskpart from Start-> run

In diskpart prompt, type in following command

list disk
select disk _

"Here in place of the dash put no. corresponding to you flash drive, which is made visible after list disk command". Then follow:




list partition
clean
create partition primary
active
format fs=fat32 quick
assign
exit

After this copy entire content of installtion DVD, or a mounted image of OS via deamon tool.. Here after your disk shall become a bootable disk../

Now restart, make change in the BIOS by setting, Pen Drive inserted as only media, disable all hard disk... Hence set Pen Drive as boot source../

Hence restart, boot from pen drive, install OS.... On next restart chage the boot source to your Harddisk../

Best of luck!!!
