Bootable Pen Drive : Install Windows using Pen Drive

Hi,

Here is my another experience and blog for it. Today I tried to format my Lappy because it was getting slowed and now and then it was showing some dll errors. But after deleting the partition I came to know that my CD Rom is not working at all. So I have to go for the other option which is installing through pen drive. So here are the steps:
Step 1. go to command prompt. (If you are Vista / Windows 7 user do it in administrative mode.)
Step2. Type Diskpart
Step3. then type LIST DISK
Step 3. It will show you the list of disk. Observe the size. identify which is your pen drive.let us assume it is DISK 1. Now type following commands one by one
>CLEAN
>CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY
>SELECT PARTITION 1     – This 1 remains same always.
>ACTIVE
>FORMAT FS=FAT32
>ASSIGN
>EXIT

Step 4. Copy CD/DVD contents to Pen Drive

> xcopy e:\*.* /s/e/f f:\
where e:\ is your source DVD drive, f:\ is target Pen Drive

Step 5.Change BIOS Settings in the target system
Give your Pen Drive priority as 1. Now just save settings and reboot with Pen Drive inserted in it.
That's it. you are ready with your Windows Pen Drive. :)
