TechBytes 08: Make Bootable Flash Drive for OS Installation

With the increasing use of computers in our day to day life, now it's becoming more like a save your job type of thing to be able to install and recover the operating system of your computer. I'll write about recovery process of operating systems installed in your computer in a later post. But for today, let's go ahead and learn to make a Bootable Windows OS Installation Media.

Before beginning we need to know a few things about the computer, whether it's a 64-bit computer system or a 32-bit computer system. If you have a working PC, simplest way to check that is to go to your system properties by right clicking 'This PC' and selecting 'Properties'. In the system type you'll see your desired information.

System Type

If you don't have a working PC then based remember how much ram does it have. If your system has 4GB or more capacity of ram then you should install a 64-bit OS.

Now if we say Windows Operating System we have to decide which version are we going to install? Windows 10 is the most used OS right now. Installation process is same for the other versions.

So now we have to grab a copy of the OS. For Windows 10 the best way to do so is using the Media Creation Tool. Alternatively, you can go to Windows ISO DB to download any version of Windows Operating System.

Once you have the .ISO file you need to download another small software, called rufus.

Run the software as administrator, you'll see the following window.

Rufus

Use the following parameter in the drop-down boxes.

Device: (Your CD/DVD/Flash Drive)

Boot selection: Press 'SELECT' and select the .ISO you just downloaded

Partition scheme: To determine this first press Windows+R then type 'diskpart' and press enter. Then in the command line type 'list disk', you'll see a screen like following. If you have a * under GPT for your drive them select 'GPT' in rufus otherwise select 'MBR'.

Partition Scheme

Now click on start and wait till it automatically finishes making a Bootable Windows Installation Media for you. Quite simple, isn't it?
