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! :-)
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.
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.
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
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.
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.)
Update on my last comment, it was actually really easy to convert it.Thanks to UA-cam 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!!!
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
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 ?????
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..
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
it tells this version of E:bootsect.exe/nt60 is not compatible with the version of Windows you are running check your computer syr software wether you need a 86 or 64
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?
Just make sure you set your letters right light his d was an e for me and my flash drive was a k so just make sure your using the right letters and not just copying him letter for letter enless its the same
i have got error after the command( bootsect.exe/nt60 h: ) ...the error says: This tool can only be run on systems booted using a PC/AT BIOS. This system was booted using EFI or some other firmware type Please tell me what to do??
Had the same error. Go here: answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-windows_install/installing-windows-7-from-usb/20f992e3-94fc-465f-b2b0-383f05897914?auth=1
I had to add spaces after e:\boot>(e is my CD drive) type Bootsect . Exe/nt60 H: Should look like E:\boot>bootsect . Exe/nt60 H: So hope it works for you also
When I try to select partition one or this one and make it active I get something that says "the selected disk is not a fixed MBR disk. The active command can only be used on fixed MBR disks" wtf? Why does something ALWAYS get in my way of doing something like this. I hate this shit.
Did not work for me. I just tried this with A 2013 Office Professional CD that I purchased and needed to go onto an new computer without a disc drive. It stopped working at "cd boot". I tried multiple times. No luck.
Hi I am trying to install windows 10 on my MacBook pro 2104 the problem I am facing is that the window is getting stuck on "getting ready "windows and nothing happns . i have formatted the drive and from options and also connected the mac with internet but no luck . kindly can you advise me . Thanks in advance
All worked until where I had to type the dvd drive, which is "E" on my laptop, then I got message, "The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error." How do I rectify that?
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?
I am trying to do this process but instead of copying from Cd to usb... I did ''copying from usb to hdd'' doing the exactly same process Is it gonna work? Thanks a lot for this video! Thumps up!
I got hold of a Hirem Windows PE CD but Rufus keeps failing to set up USB. Can I run this line command in the live CD? I can boot w/ a 2nd jumo to get ISO off.
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.
hi, thanks for the info. after I issue the command: "select partition primary" I get this error on windows 10: ------------ No usable free extent could be found. It may be that there is insufficient free space to create a partition at the specified size and offset Specify different size and offset values or don't specify either to create the maximum sized partition. It may be that the disk is partitioned using the MBR disk partitioning format and the disk contains either 4 primary partitions, (no more partitions may be created), or 3 primary partitions and one extended partition, (only logical drives may be created). ------------ I try doing that on a 1GB formatted USB stick
One question I do actually have though, can I still do it if I copy the files from my Windows disk into a folder on my computer or does it have to copy straight from the disc over to the drive?
Would I follow the same steps if I have multiple disks to copy to a usb? Would I have to type the boot portion into the cmd every time I want to copy files over from each of the disks?
Hi, when I go to 'create partition primary' it replies "There is insufficient free space to create a partition at the specified size and offset values or don't specify to create the maximum sized partition". I'm using and selected a 16gb thumb-drive, I was hoping you might have know of a solution to this message. Thanks.
perfectly worked.. after wasting lot of time with some paid softwares and freewares awailable online.. Thanks a lot !!
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! :-)
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!
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.
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.
if i already have my drive format to ntfs ... can i just skip the format part as its taking like an hour ???
@@onelove5525 You can skip it.
Wish i would have seen your comment before i started my formatting
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.
So you are saying I shouldn't remove it haha
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)
Love the fact that you also have written instructions, you thought of everything so professional Thank you.
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

One of the best tutorial videos on UA-cam. Thanks a lot.
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+
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.)

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

Thanks for this. Worked perfectly!
That was amazing. Your credibility is 1000% now. Respect my friend.
thanks men!! u reducing my job in downloading and finding a compatible software for creating a tool in making a bootable usb flash drive..
Worked as instructed. You had a good idea to add your error not running as administrator.
Thanks a lot man, been searching for a tutorial for ages
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
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
?????
Really informative.. love your video, I learn new things today and avoiding waste of time searching for another "long-way" solution.
Thank you this is one of the best instructions and so simple to understand and follow for making bootable USB and CD.

I wish more people would learn how to control and do from the command prompt :D
Thanks for teaching me on how to make a Beatiful USB drive
This is the best video i ever seen,all i can say is THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
This works on windows 10 pro as of 2020/11/21. I recommend 100%.
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.
🤣🤣🤣 we all wish this was true

When I try to select partition one or this one and make it active I get something that says "the selected disk is not a fixed MBR disk. The active command can only be used on fixed MBR disks" wtf? Why does something ALWAYS get in my way of doing something like this. I hate this shit.
Thank you so much - this was a great tutorial and it helped me a lot. thank you.
Worked perfectly with Windows 10 , Thanks!
I love this tutorial

just add + quick at last 100% it is more faster .

Great vid and easy to follow. Thanks!
How does it deal with drivers for win 7? When I load from a Cd I always have to use driver booster to update drivers.
Best tutorial out there, Thanks!
Did not work for me. I just tried this with A 2013 Office Professional CD that I purchased and needed to go onto an new computer without a disc drive. It stopped working at "cd boot". I tried multiple times. No luck.

It worked for my active disk but I didn’t work for bootable backtrack usb. Is there anyway to make it work for backtrack5? Thank you!
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?
Thanks! It worked with an official HP bootable cd with Windows 10
Thanks so much this really helped
I am trying to do this process but instead of copying from Cd to usb... I did ''copying from usb to hdd'' doing the exactly same process
Is it gonna work?
Thanks a lot for this video! Thumps up!

I have 5 CDs of recovery disks from my previous windows 7 that i had , can i make a bootable flash drive out of it ? If yes how ? Thanks
