YOU WANT TO MAKE USB BOOTABLE BUT WHY :/

REASONS :)

common use of a bootable USB flash drive is to use it for booting into Windows. This can allow you to perform diagnostics on a computer that has hardware issues or can't boot into Windows. You can also use the flash drive to install Windows, instead of using the Windows installation CD.
How to Create Bootable USB for windows 7 using cmd

This guide will outline making a bootable USB flash drive with WindowsXP, Vista, and 7. Before we begin, it's important to note that the computer you want to use your bootable USB drive in will need to have the capability of booting to a USB drive. Most recent computers built since Windows Vista was released are capable of booting to a USB device. Prior to the Windows Vista timeframe, it's hit or miss with motherboards

Caution " To make the bootable USB drive for Windows 7, you need to have 7 installed on your computer. It is recommended that you have a flash drive of at least 4 GB in size, in order to store all the necessary files"

.Follow the steps respectively :) as given below

Open An Elevated Command Prompt

Click Start manu -> All Programs -> Accessories and right-click on Command Prompt." SelectRun"" As Administrator

Partitioning The Disk To make partitions follow my step

Type:DISKPART (in cmd ) as shown below in pic

This will open up the partitioning application. Next, type "command:LIST DISK"(this box will appear)

Figure out which of the drives listed is your USB drive, and note the number. It’s crucial you get this right, or you’re going to end up losing data on other drives.

Next, type the following series of commands, but replace the DISK number in the first line with the appropriate number from the above list. Here, my disk is number 1. Don’t confuse this with PARTITION 1. That number should not change, even if your disk is 3.

SELECT DISK 1

CLEAN

CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY

SELECT PARTITION 1

ACTIVE

FORMAT FS=NTFS

ASSIGN

EXIT

```

Make It Bootable!

The format step may take a little while (it actually took about 30 minutes on my machine). When you’re done, put in your installation DVD if you haven’t already. Note down which drive letter your USB disk and Windows installation DVD are located at.

Go back to your command prompt and type – assuming D: is your DVD drive with the install DVD, and U: is your USB drive:
```
D:/BOOT/BOOTSECT.EXE /NT60 U:
```
This will basically make your USB drive bootable.

The final step can be done from My Computer. Just open up the installation DVD, highlight everything, and drag it over to your USB drive.

This will also take a while.

Now you should be all set – just insert the USB disk into your new PC, and enter the BIOS to adjust the boot order, or choose the option during start up which saysChoose Boot Device.

Let’s hear it for computers with no noisy and clunky DVD drives! Death to physical media! Or not – what do you think? Are you ready to go DVD-less?
