Making USB Pendrive bootable for windows 7 set up

Got a quick sort of problem today, needed to make a bootable pen drive for windows 7 from the file stored in my computer !!


So here is what i did !!
1) Run as system Administration in command
2) Navigate to cd c:\windows\system32
3) Type:  DISKPART
4) Type: LIST DISK (All the drives including your USB will be listed)
5) Type : SELECT DISK yourDiskName  (Your usb disk name as it is show by list disk)

After selecting disk type following commands sequentially:

CLEAN
CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY
SELECT PARTITION 1
ACTIVE
FORMAT FS=NTFS QUICK  (quick will enable you to format faster)
(it may take a couple minutes, depending on the USB drive size)

Than type:
ASSIGN
EXIT



Now open a command prompt and go to the directory where BOOTSECT.EXE  file is located for your windows 7 file.

After navigating to the directory : type

BOOTSECT.EXE /NT60 H:  (Here h is the usb drive name)

If all thing are executed successfully, Congratulations your pen drive has become bootable now.  Now you can copy the windows files directly into your usb drive.
