Make your USB Flash Drive Bootable

Tired of taking bootable CD’s along with you? Worry no more, after reading this tutorial you will be able to use your USB drive as a booting device at system startup.

You can use that bootable USB flash drive to install operating systems, update your system’s BIOS, etc.
Let’s see how it is done.

Follow the instructions carefully

1.First of all download the following Software and zip file.

• HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool
• Command.zip

2.Install the HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool

3.Now create a folder name boot in anywhere in your system,
In this example we are creating a folder “boot” in C: drive.
C:boot

4.Now extract the files from “command.zip” in that “boot” folder, created above.

(Note: Don’t extract the folder named “command” in the “command.zip” file, you must extract the files contained inside it.)

[You’ll see a file command.exe file inside it… BUT Let me tell you there are actually 3 Files, 2 other files are hidden.]

So Extract those all 3 files in “boot” folder, not the whole “command” folder.

5. After this, run HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool and click the checkbox of
“create a DOS startup disk” and in the give the path of the “boot” folder which you create in C: drive.

6. Click Start.

7. Your USB Flash drive will be bootable now.

To use this bootable USB, dont forget to enable “boot from USB drive” from your system’s BIOS and then select USB drive as a first boot drive.

That’s all, your USB Flash drive will now work as a booting Drive.
