How to create bootable Windows installation media on a USB drive - works for x86 and x64 XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1 and newer.
I have already download windows8 from technet account. But when I try to use Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool to create a bootable USB for windows8 64bit, the progress completed, but it cannot create bootsector. How can I fix this?? You can make a bootable media manually. From an Windows vista or newer. Open an eleveted commando prompt. run diskpart then: Diskpart> list disk Diskpart> sel disk 1 <---------------- the number of you usb Diskpart>clean Diskpart>create part pri Diskpart>format fs=ntfs quick Diskpart>Active Diskpart>Assign Now he usbdisk is ready, copy the files from the windows 8 media. Now you boot and install Windows from the usb. OK, Granted that this may be working for some folks, but I have some questions before I try this. 1) I think I know this, but just to be clear, what exactly is "32-bit bootsect.exe", and what does it do? 3) For Windows 8 x64 shouldn't there be a "64-bit bootsect.exe"? 2) Can I download a copy from Microsoft directly or find it in an image somewhere so that I may better trust that it is not hacked or infected? It is very nice of you to provide a download link, but most people consider it very bad practice to just use random programs found on the web. -Thanks
