Make Bootable USB from ANY Windows CD or Copy an Existing Bootable USB without Downloading Software

[@sreevalsthyagarajan1155]

perfectly worked.. after wasting lot of time with some paid softwares and freewares awailable online.. Thanks a lot !!

[@malcolmstephenson8875]

I haddn't done this in a few years. Your video saved me at least an hour if not more. The process you laid out worked perfectly. Good visual aide as you described the reasoning for each step of the process. You certainly earned my loyalty as your newest subscriber. Thanks! :-)

[@randynelson5943]

Thanks the refresher course.. I would like to add when you are formatting the disk if you add the word quick it will speed up the formatting by 10 minutes... DISKPART> format fs=ntfs quick.

[@gtguy181]

While this is true, one may want to do a full format if they are not sure on the condition of the disk. Full format will locate and correct bad sectors which may prohibit the disk from operating efficiently.

[@onelove5525]

if i already have my drive format to ntfs ... can i just skip the format part as its taking like an hour ???

[@verohandymike]

@@onelove5525 You can skip it.

[@vignesh9269]

Wish i would have seen your comment before i started my formatting

[@snagglepu]

Love the fact that you also have written instructions, you thought of everything so professional Thank you.

[@alexanderbobrovitskiy956]

Great Job! Thank You! Your video is the best example how to make video for people: briefly, clearly, and without unpleasant things. Be happy man!

[@daviddavou841]

I have watched this video atleast 50 times. I've saved this link on every system i've had. Thanks man. Hope you are doing good.

[@TheKMZ1]

So you are saying I shouldn't remove it haha

[@sflotr]

thanks. 6 yrs later and the video remains as a valuable resource.

[@TheKMZ1]

Yes it does!

[@shoaibanjum1071]

I wish to thank you for such a nice video. Very clearly, softly and calmly spoken, no rush, very clear tone, clear images and step by step instructions. Well done

[@kimmihok9948]

I want to thank you so much for this video. Not only did you teach me something new, but I really had no idea how to do this and was on limited time for completion of my pc. Thanks again! Loved how simply you went step by step through the process.

[@NiiNii1984]

Great platform, people like you should leave longer to help with tech issues. God bless you man. It's fun to work with cmd (Command Prompt)

[@raheeljamil1122]

Thanks. Worked for me. I am on windows 8.1. Copying windows 7 (both 32&64 bit) from DVD to flash drive. (Just have patience during formatting and don't cancel while its formatting because you will end up having to format drive this way anyway if you want to use this method.)

[@pigskinrode0]

This helped me as I'm building my beast of a computer tomorrow. Plus this helped with some hands on training for Core 2 A+

[@adilibrahim275]

One of the best tutorial videos on KZbin. Thanks a lot.

[@Deku_nuts]

Great instruction, the only thing you could add is that when you format fs=ntfs add quick after and it will take no time to format the drive.

[@roadiesgarage3816]

🤣🤣🤣 we all wish this was true

[@robah_2258]

wow...so simple..no need to install third party software,,,,thank sir,,you made my day easier..cheer up

[@denreyes01]

thanks men!! u reducing my job in downloading and finding a compatible software for creating a tool in making a bootable usb flash drive..

[@adrianOpr6]

This works on windows 10 pro as of 2020/11/21. I recommend 100%.

[@gdESSA]

Thank you SO MUCH, 2 days trying to do this by my own.. guess I'm not the best Hacker!

[@TheKMZ1]

Great glad you got it!

[@iwitfit7555]

I had to change your script as I was trying to copy Microsoft Office to a thumb drive, when I got to the boot bit this did not work.. so I opened cmd in admin did d:\ copy *.* f:\ then I exited and then copied the folders on the CD to the thumb drive and crossed my fingers.. I now have what can only be described as a cracked Microsoft Office 2016 as it as yet has not asked for a key.. So I thank you kind Sir for setting me in the right direction..

[@alk5117]

Thank you this is one of the best instructions and so simple to understand and follow for making bootable USB and CD.

[@bobwoodward9550]

Worked as instructed. You had a good idea to add your error not running as administrator.

[@natneo2722]

Thanks for teaching me on how to make a Beatiful USB drive

[@uptechextreme2921]

I wish more people would learn how to control and do from the command prompt :D

[@mrsheepy812]

Really informative.. love your video, I learn new things today and avoiding waste of time searching for another "long-way" solution.

[@cablegirl8]

Thanks for this. Worked perfectly!

[@asiehrahnama6384]

I wanted to say thank you so much it works like a charm

[@samsonavbioro389]

This is a classic explanation, welldone bro. this has helped me to install my server using USb.

[@engineersoyoz7492]

That was amazing. Your credibility is 1000% now. Respect my friend.

[@Nirvana-467]

Thank you Sir! This video helped me alot! You are a lifesaver! ❤

[@AwakeningEnthusiast]

Update on my last comment, it was actually really easy to convert it.Thanks to KZbin for pretty much being able to figure out how to do anything haha 😂 I could be a brain surgeon if I really wanted to hahahaha 😂 yeah right I wish, but when it comes to text stuff it makes things extremely easy. huge props to this guy for taking his time to show us how to do stuff like this. Appreciate you so much ❤️ brother. I have a brand new windows disk it's Windows 10 pro 64-bit. And CDs always get scratched and screwed up. so by doing this I am now able to make a backup and do my installs from USB which is also much faster. Thanks again bro I appreciate you taking your time to make this video for all of us!!!! You fucking rock!!!

[@ashenhorsemen5819]

thank you. i needed this. all done and worked. just need to try the usb in my new build now

[@denisemanzelli3297]

This worked fabulous. Thank you so much. Very easy to follow the instructions.

[@TheKMZ1]

As far as i know, all full windows install cd's have the bootsect.exe on them. Are you using a recovery cd instead of a regualar full windows install? Also if you still can't get it, you can obtain a copy of the bootsect.exe program from an online source such as microsoft or another place

[@VarietyVideosHere]

thank u for rpling... one more thing... my flash drive is fat32(default) format .. and my desktop ( where i want to install win xp) has ntfs hard disk... now in the cmd prompt should i write format fs=fat32 or format fs=ntfs ?????

[@ramilmanalo9859]

This is the best video i ever seen,all i can say is THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

[@ashdown96]

thank you so much easier than having to download a program!

[@GeorgeMartinReports]

Thanks KMZ! An Ace job!!!. It seems like there used to be an easier way, but this works. Now I'm trying to make a windows 7 iso disk on a USB, oh, it's a long story, re Macs and bootcamp, and updates after 4 years, it's not pretty. Your video is great, thanks

[@ianmilton9587]

[@andrewjenery1783]

This should be really helpful as I've just got an OEM copy of Win 10 that I want to install onto a USB drive. So if you do this, you end up with bootable Windows on a USB drive that will work on any USB port on any PC?

[@sallys5488]

Formatting worked great but I had an error when i tried to enter the cd boot folder not sure what to do

[@Kungsfiskaren]

[@SalehAhmed-hr1ue]

[@snagglepu]

Thank you so much, only step I don't understand is can I use the original Windows 8 disk to copy files from and where do I find these files on Windows disk?

[@RyanMillsAZ]

Thank you so much for the instructions! I have Lenovo recovery disk for a Twist ultrabook with no CD/DVD drive so I moved them to a USB. The bootsect.exe is hidden on the disks and there was no BOOT folder. Just ran the command at the root and it works perfectly. Used XCOPY R: E: /E /H to copy all files from disk to usb.

[@michaliskalamenios5802]

Thank you very much for the clear instructions! I wanted to ask you whether I can boot my already installed version of windows via using a bootable usb, since my hard drive has windows 7 installed but is missing the booting files. Would that be possible or would you have other ideas/suggestions on how to solve this problem? Thank you in advance!

[@stealthzi7465]

saved me so much hassle thank you

[@akeemsalami1854]
