Install Any Operating System from Pen Drive



  • Start Command Prompt by typing CMD in the start menu and hitting Ctrl+ Shift+ Enter (for Windows XP and older OS simply type CMD in the RUN prompt and hit Enter).
  • Type DISKPART
  • Type LIST DISK
  • Note down the disk number (###) of your USB drive.
  • Type SELECT DISK # (replace # with the disk number e.g. SELECT DISK 1).
  • Type CLEAN
  • Type CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY
  • Type SELECT PARTITION 1
  • Type ACTIVE
  • Type FORMAT FS=NTFS
  • Type ASSIGN
  • Type EXIT
Now we will copy the bootsector from the original disk. If you have an image you will need to mount it using a tool like Slysoft Virtual Clone Drive. Now I am assuming that the drive letter for the installer disc is X. You need to open up CMD one again.
  • Type X:
  • Type CD BOOT
  • Type BOOTSECT.EXE/NT60 Y:
where Y is the USB drive letter.
Now that the DVD is setup all you need to do is copy the contents of the DVD to the USB Drive (or extract the ISO file).
