Create BOOTABLE USB/PEN DRIVE for Windows OS without any software

First of all, I would like to count you some advantages of creating a bootable USB Pen drive :

1. Its very convenient and easy to carry USB stick rather than DVD
2. You can boot USB on system, that do not have DVD drive, such as netbooks
3. Most Importantly, overall speed of installation increases compared to installing through DVD

Requirements :

• USB Pen Drive with a minimum capacity of 4GB
• Windows OS setup DVD

Creating a bootable USB is as easy as 1,2,3 just follow the said steps :

1. Plug the USB into USB port
2. Open POWERSHELL or Command Prompt, If you are using Windows Vista/7/8 than open with Administrative rights. Locate Powershell or Command Prompt from Start menu & Right-click on it and select “Run as Administrator”. alternatively locate and hit Ctrl + Shift + Enter
3. Type : DISKPART, This will start the Microsoft DiskPart utility
4. Now Type : LIST DISK , this will show you list of available disks on your system. DISK 0 usually the HardDrive, note down your USB DISK #
5. Suppose your USB has DISK 1. Type SELECT DISK 1, (Replace DISK 1 with your disk number)
6. Now issue the following commands one by one :
   • CLEAN
   • CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY
   • SELECT PARTITION 1
   • ACTIVE
   • FORMAT FS=NTFS QUICK
   • ASSIGN
   • EXIT
7. Close the powershell [Command Prompt]
8. Insert Windows Installation Disk and note down the “drive letter” of your DVD drive like ‘C:’ ‘D:’
9. Locate and open the command prompt with Administrative rights (refer Step-2)
10. Issue the following commands
    • H: Note : H: is your DVD drive letter
    • CD BOOT
    • BOOTSECT.EXE /NT60 G: (NOTE: G: is your USB drive letter)
    • EXIT
11. Last but the most important step : Copy all the contents of Windows Installation Disk directly onto your USB drive , copy each and every file
12. Your USB is now set to boot and install Windows
13. SOME IMPORTANT POINTS TO CONSIDER :
    • Some motherboards need to set ENABLE USB, so that you can boot from USB
    • Also, you need to change the Boot Order, so that USB will the first to check for boot process By Default, HDD is set High in Priority, make USB first than HDD
