How to make a bootable USB drive for FREE using diskpart in Windows

In this short video, I'll show you the commands for using diskpart.exe in a command prompt or terminal as an administrator. This is a required step for putting bootable Linux or Windows installation media on a USB drive. This method works on Windows 7 and newer.
Note that "format fs=fat32 quick" also works for FAT32

@@Vivek-uq7yu yes, you'd need to format as FAT32 with a split wim file to keep it under 4GB

My pen drive is in fat 32 and i am stuck at the command act what should i do

[@DeployJeremy]

Do you want ntfs or fat32? Both can make sense depending on your situation. 'format fs=ntfs quick' or 'format fs=fat32 quick' then 'active' then 'assign'

Kmaal k ho bhai ap to

[@solangenirere8439]

I did this and after my pc broke it says no boot device available dont do this guys

[@DeployJeremy]

There are a few possible reasons for that. 1. Your system is likely UEFI, did you format the drive FAT32?, 2. Did you put OS installation media on it? 3. Your firmware (aka what was called BIOS on MBR systems) might not be configured to boot from USB, 4. Some systems have specific USB ports that are bootable, with others not bootable, 5. Your machine could be bricked. Those are my Top 5 troubleshooting reasons, but there are other potential culprits.

@@DeployJeremy when i trirs the format-ftns whatever it is it wouldnt work i think thats what broke my pc but i also have a question if i redownloaded windows onto a usb drive could it fix the no boot device problem

[@DeployJeremy]

@@solangenirere8439 So you formatted a system partition using diskpart.exe, not your USB removable drive?

[@dashinggamerz9236]

It isjsut partition bro not, maked or unzipped OS. Or .iso... explain please

[@DeployJeremy]

The partition needs to be marked Active and Assigned, then you can copy your OS media into it. Otherwise, the device's firmware won't see it as bootable media and won't find bootmgr

[@sugandhatoys]

Thanq 👍👍👍

[@kuldeepsingh-fm9vo]

🙏thanks

[@rokrs]

Is there anything copied?

[@DeployJeremy]

Yes, once you've done this you can copy the OS installation files to the USB drive. Note that for UEFI, the file system needs to be formatted FAT32, which has a file size limit of 4GB.

I cant get into recovery mode because of virus corrupted windows file help! Even cant start pc showing "there is a problem with your pc"

[@mohsen754]

is it gpt or mbr ?

[@DeployJeremy]

Could be either. For GPT you'll want to format the drive as FAT32. Fat32 also means 4GB file size limit, so for example if using Windows, you'll need media optimized for FAT32 with split WIMs

Will do

[@CodersHaven]

Clickbait

[@DeployJeremy]

Why? It makes the USB drive bootable with an active primary partition using diskpart.exe. How is it clickbait?

[@CodersHaven]

@@DeployJeremy he doesn't use the iso

[@DeployJeremy]

@@CodersHaven that's the point, you don't need the ISO, because you just copy OS installation files directly into the USB drive root.

[@DeployJeremy]

@@CodersHaven if you said, FAT32 with UEFI doesn't work with Windows OS images as easily, because you need to split the WIM into pieces smaller than 4GB, that would have been your best clickbait argument.
