Making a USB stick bootable for Vista or Server 2008
Number of View: 24Wow, after trying this out I could not believe how easy it was…
I was working for a couple of hours last night with MagicISO to no avail. I needed no utilities…
Just CMD and diskpart.
Here is what I did:
Open Disk Management and determine what Disk # your USB stick turns up as. This is REAL important…
Open CMD and launch diskpart:
- list disk (this will confirm all disks and that your USB stick is selectable)
- select disk x (This is your disk #)
- clean
- create partition primary
- select partition 1
- active
- format fs=fat32
- assign
- exit
Now, just copy the contents of your Operating system ISO and away you go!
In my Dell Laptop, I needed to make sure that USB storage device was before internal hard disk…
The F12 key would not do it for me… Just an FYI.
Cuts the install time by more than 50%…
