CONCEPT NOTES
LAUNCHING THE CD/DVD BURNING SOFTWARE
The instructions below use Windows operating system and CDBurner XP as CD/DVD Burning software.
CDBurnerXP is a free burning utility that works on both Windows XP and Windows Vista.
Procedures:
A bootable USB drive is any USB drive that contains an "image" or exact copy of an operating system.
Most commercial USB drive models are only loaded with a single file system like FAT32 or exFAT
file system. They don’t have the master boot record or MBR that is required for booting most PCs. To
make a USB drive bootable, you have to do it on your own.
FILE FORMATS
When you are creating a bootable USB drive you have two file format options:
1. FAT32 (File Allocation Table)
2. NTFS (New Technology Files System)
FAT32 can only support files up to 4GB and most of the Windows OS 8/8.1/10 will require around 3.83GB or more in
bootable drive. In a typical 4GB USB drive, you get around 3.72/3.73GB usable space. Hence FAT32 is not
recommended.
FAT32 can be used if you are installing Windows XP as it requires around 650–750MB. It is read/write compatible
with a majority of recent and recently obsolete operating systems, including DOS and Windows XP, Mac OS X, and
UNIX-descended operating systems including Linux and FreeBSD.
NTFS format is widely used because it can support any file size. So you can easily install OS with large file size.
Also, Linux OS requires FAT/FAT32 format media as Linux does not support NTFS format. Therefore, NTFS format
is limited to Windows OS only.
You can make a USB drive bootable through any of these methods:
1. Create a bootable USB with external tools
2. Creating bootable USB drive with the Windows utility program DiskPart
A. Make a bootable USB drive with the Windows utility program DiskPart
You can use Command Prompt in Windows to create a bootable USB drive on all operating systems. It is
important to be careful in typing the each command line to avoid errors along the process.
Procedures:
Note: The words in bold are the actual commands that must be typed in the
command prompt.
1. Insert the USB drive into your computer’s USB port. Make sure that it is recognized by your computer.
2. 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. You may also use the keyboard shortcut Window logo + R to run the command
prompt.
3. 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.
4. Enter the command “list disk” to display all available storage devices. It starts with Disk 0 and the
succeeding Disk Numbers depend on how many drives are detected in your computer.
5. You can recognize your USB by its storage capacity, and it’s usually listed as “disk 1”. In the
system partition, “disk 0” is usually your PC, so a hard drive or solid state drive in your computer.
6. Based on the assumption that your USB has the label “disk 1”, enter the command “sel disk 1” to
select it (or the corresponding “disk 2”, etc.).

7. Enter the command “clean” to delete all files from the USB.
8. Enter the command “create partition primary” to create a main partition.
9. Select the newly created main partition by typing the command “sel par 1”.
10. Activate the partition with the command “active”.
11. Format the USB with the command “format fs=ntfs quick”.Formatting may take a while. You can
track its progress in the percentage bar
12. As soon as the process is finished, enter the command “assign” to automatically assign a drive
letter (for example “E:”) to your USB.
13. Enter “exit” to close DiskPart, and then “exit” again to close the command prompt.

12 100 percent completed
13 Diskpart successfully formatted the volume
14 DISKPART> assign
15 Diskpart successfully assigned the drive letter or mount point.
16 DISKPART> exit
To finish the process, you just have to copy the Windows ISO file to a bootable USB stick through:
Basic drag-and-drop (or copy-paste)
Drag all setup files from the installation disc into the USB drive (use the folder options to display all
of the hidden files first)
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).
Just in case there is an error message in the command prompt after typing a command, just re-type the correct
command. Probably the reasons behind that are misspelled words and incorrect placement of blank spaces.
B. Create a bootable USB with external tools
There are 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 is made up of a single, very small file that you can
download directly and start without installation.
Rufus 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. Just follow the
procedures below to create a bootable USB device using Rufus.
Procedures:

3. Once it is open, make sure the USB Drive you inserted can be seen under
Device.
4. On the Boot Selection Menu, Click Select.
5. Browse for your Windows Image file in your PC.
6. Click Start. When prompted with a Warning: ALL DATA… Click OK.
7. When the status bar reached 100 percent or Ready, click Close.
