USB Drive Install ModeThis install mode uses the supplied iso file to create a bootable Live USB drive, which should behave as though you had burned the iso to a CD. It can also be used on other FAT32-formatted media, such as Secure Digital (SD) cards.
UNetbootin allows you to create bootable Live USB drives for Ubuntu, Fedora, and other Linux distributions without burning a CD. It runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. UNetbootin can create a bootable Live USB drive, or it can make a “frugal install” on your local hard disk if you don’t have a USB drive.
In the past, Microsoft Windows was installed by disc, CD- or DVD-ROM, or the floppy disc – and optical data carriers are also gradually disappearing from the scene. Instead, the operating system is either preinstalled on the system partition of a new computer or laptop, or you acquire Windows directly online, complete with a digital license, and download it yourself.But if you need an external installation medium, many people nowadays use a bootable USB drive. It’s quicker and more compact that an optical data carrier, and so is perfectly suited for setting up (or resetting) a system – there are also many other possible uses. Even if no such PC emergency is present, it’s a good idea to have a on a USB-capable storage medium (could also be an external hard drive) on hand.You can also use a bootable USB to upgrade Windows 7 or 8 to Windows 10 if a previously automatic upgrade doesn’t function correctly. The drive also serves as a “clean” reinstallation of the operating system if it’s become too slow as a result of accumulated garbage.Experienced computer experts and IT professionals also like to use a bootable USB as a “ portable operating system” (the concept is known as “Windows2Go” for Microsoft). With this, you can use your preferred Windows version with all your favorite tools and personal data on foreign computers without having to fuss with the operating system already installed (regardless of whether it’s Windows or something else).
This way, you can not only navigate in your familiar work environment but also access all your important documents via the cloud. A portable operating system also offers more security in case a keylogger on a foreign computer stores your passwords or your computer is infected with a virus.Here are all possible uses for a bootable USB drive:. Boot after a PC emergency.
Use a recovery system to repair your PC. Store an image of the operating system. Upgrade an old operating system to Windows 10. “Clean” reinstallation of the operating system. Use a “portal operating system” on a foreign computer. A bootable USB drive can of course be created on a different computer than the one you want to use it on later. There are basically two possible methods: either manually or using automated tools.
The first option seems a bit complicated at first glance, and because of the various manual steps is slightly more error-prone, but it’s still doable even if you’re not an expert.Regardless of which option you choose, you always need the following things:. The Windows utility program DiskPart or an external tool with the same functions. A USB drive with at least 4GB of storage (for a 32-bit operating system) or at least 8GB (for a 64-bit system). To obtain a high working speed (or enable the creation of a portable operating system), the selected drive should support the standard USB 3.0. If the drive is already being used, make sure that it doesn’t contain any important or indispensable data. An ISO file for the desired operating system that contains all setup files that you need for installation. These files used to be found on a CD- or DVD-ROM, which came with a new computer or could be acquired separately.
Today, Windows is generally preinstalled on a system partition of a matching PC or laptop. You can create such an ISO file yourself, though, for example with the use of tools like WinISO, UltraISO, or the burn program InfraRecorder. But it’s simpler to just download the required operating system from the internet. In the case of Windows 10, this can be done completely legally via the.
Create Boot Disk Windows 10
Downloading directly from the company’s website is also possible for and, for example. If you dare to do the necessary work by hand, you can simply use the cmd.exe application, better known as “Command Prompt”, to create a bootable USB drive on all operating systems from Windows Vista (including Windows 10). This goes as follows:. Plug the USB drive into your computer’s USB port. Search for the “ cmd” application in the Windows start menu, right-click on the item, and select “ Run as administrator” from the context menu. This opens a small window with white text on a black background. Type the command “ diskpart” and confirm your input with the enter key (you’ll also do this after every other entered command).
This starts the storage device manager. Enter the command “ list disk” to display all available storage devices. You can recognize your USB by its storage capacity, and it’s usually listed as “disk 1”. To finish the process, you just have to copy the Windows ISO file to a bootable USB stick. This is done with a basic drag-and-drop.
If you’re using an installation disc, you can also drag all setup files from there onto your drive (use the folder options to display all of the hidden files first). That’s all possible in the command prompt as well. For a source media with the drive letter “D:” and a USB drive with the letter “G:”, the corresponding command would look as follows: “ xcopy D:. G:. /S /E /F” (all of the spaces are intentional). The media creation tool mentioned previously can also write a downloaded ISO file to a USB drive in one go, and so create a bootable USB – but it only works with Windows 10. There are, though, many freeware programs suitable for all operating systems (including Linux) that can take over the tasks of the otherwise manual device management.
Some of the most popular are Rufus, WinUSB, and UNetbootin. Each of these tools are made up of a single very small file that you can download directly and start without installation. Rufus is widely considered to be the fastest and most reliable tool for the creation of a bootable USB.
It also supports UEFI (“Unified Extensible Firmware Interface”), a new mainboard firmware that replaced the old BIOS and can already be found on almost all newer computers. The tool WinUSB essentially functions exactly like Rufus, but with two differences: The first is that the creation of a bootable USB is possible without prior formatting (provided there’s enough storage space), so the USB can also be used to store personal files and documents (though it’s recommended to keep a backup copy of all data). Another special feature: As desired, WinUSB can also write multiple different Windows operating systems onto the same drive.
This makes it almost an equivalent to the Linux tool Yumi.With WinUSB, the creation of a bootable USB also takes place in just a few steps:. Select your USB with “ Plug and select the USB drive”. Right-click on “ ISO” under “ Add Windows”, and then on “ Next”. Enter whatever label you want for the selected Windows distribution, then click on “ OK” and “ Next”. Click on “ Start”.
After its successful creation, you can test your bootable USB drive by using it to start your computer. This is also a necessary step to preconfigure BIOS or UEFI for a possible emergency situation.To do this, you have to change the boot order in the boot menu:. Open your computer’s boot menu. Depending on the mainboard manufacturer, this is done by pushing a different key on the keyboard. “ Del” is the one most commonly used, but the “ F1”, “ F2”, “ F8”, or “ F10” keys can also be used for this function (though rarely any others). Which button you have to push is usually displayed in the margin of the screen as soon as the manufacturer logo appears.
But be aware: You only have a short window of time to press the right button. If you miss it, you’ll have to restart your PC and try again.
If you have a newer PC, it’s possible that UEFI is installed instead of BIOS as firmware. If this is the case, it’s also possible that no button for starting the boot menu will be displayed.
Instead, proceed as follows: Click on “ Update and recovery” under “ System settings”. Then click on “ Recovery” and under “ Extended start” select “ Restart now”. The computer will now be restarted. On the following screen, click on “ Troubleshooting”, then “ Extended options” and finally on “ UEFI firmware settings” to get to the UEFI. BIOS and UEFI can look different depending on the computer model and have different names for the individual menu items. Don’t be confused by this, though – the structure is basically the same.
With the arrow keys, navigate through the BIOS/UEFI. Go to the “ Boot” tab (this might also be called “Boot menu”, “Boot manager”, or something similar). There, you can select your USB drive so the next system startup will boot from it.
You can also permanently change the boot order by pushing the Image↑ or Image↓ keys to change the order of the boot drives. Set your USB drive on the top of the list to start from it as soon as it’s plugged into your computer. Press the Esc key to leave BIOS/UEFI.
