Windows 8 USB

[Nexo]

Would this be correct to install Windows 8 on to a USB?

 

1. Start CMD

2. Type diskpart

3. Type list disk

4. Type select disk 1 (depending which one is your USB)

5. Type clean

6. Type create partition primary

7. Type select partition 1

8. Type active

9. Type FORMAT FS=NTFS

10. Type assign

11. Type exit

12. After that select your DVD then copy all the files and paste it into your USB

you can also use the Windows 7 USB/DVD creator tool where you just select the iso and the USB drive you want to install it to and it will do the rest. http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/html/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool

If you have an ISO of the disk you could use the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool which also works for Windows 8 and all you would have to do is show the program the directory of the ISO.

Yeah it works fine.

[Nexo]

Yeah it works fine.

I would probably use both ways since I love using CMD.

The tool works for any Windows that is Vista and up. (tested it personally). I can't comment on XP.

i even got Ubuntu work with it.

The windows 7 usb tool works great. Also if you have any DVD burning software (ImgBurn, etc) you can actually make a bootable USB from the program. Just select the ISO and hit create bootable usb.
