Make bootable pendrive

To make a bootable USB drive (pendrive) on Windows 10, you can use the built-in Command Prompt method or use a tool like Rufus, which is easier and recommended. Here’s both methods:


Method 1: Using Rufus (Recommended)

  1. Download Rufus from the official site: https://rufus.ie
  2. Insert your USB drive (at least 8GB recommended).
  3. Open Rufus (no installation needed).
  4. Under “Device”, select your USB drive.
  5. Under “Boot selection”, click “SELECT” and choose your ISO file (e.g., Windows ISO).
  6. Choose:
    • Partition scheme: MBR (for BIOS/UEFI) or GPT (for UEFI)
    • File system: NTFS or FAT32
  7. Click START. Accept any prompts to write in ISO mode.
  8. Wait for completion. Done!

Method 2: Using Command Prompt (Advanced)

  1. Insert the USB drive.
  2. Open Command Prompt as Administrator.
  3. Type the following commands step-by-step: diskpart list disk select disk # ← (replace # with your USB disk number) clean create partition primary select partition 1 active format fs=ntfs quick assign exit
  4. Mount your Windows ISO (right-click > Mount).
  5. Copy all files from the mounted ISO to the USB drive.

Now your USB is bootable.
