I am excited to share with you a comprehensive tutorial on how to create a bootable USB drive using CMD. This method is incredibly useful, as it allows you to create a bootable USB drive without the need to install any additional software on your system. This can be particularly helpful if you need to create a bootable USB drive quickly and don't have access to a computer with the necessary software installed.

Follow The Steps:
- Format the Pen Drive or USB drive in NTFS format first.
- From the Start Menu right click on the Command Prompt and select "Run as administrator".
- Now type the following Commands (Press Enter Key after each command).
- Diskpart This is to open the Disk Partition Program.
- Now to see the list of Drives type List Disk.
- You can see disks listed there. Note down the Disk Number of your Pen Drive (e.g. Disk 1).
- Now type SELECT DISK 1 (where 1 is the number you noted down for the Pen Drive from step 5)
- Now type CLEAN
- Now type the following Commands by pressing enter after each one.
- CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY
- SELECT PARTITION 1 (Assuming your Pen Drive / USB drive is 1)
- ACTIVE
- FORMAT FS=NTFS
- ASSIGN
- EXIT (Now the Disk Partition Program will exit).
- Now we need to give some more commands. Insert the Windows 7/8 Installation DVD into your DVD drive.
- Here I am assuming the DVD drive as G and Pen Drive as I. (Change it accordingly).
- Now type G:
- CD BOOT
- Now type this command BOOTSECT.EXE/NT60 I: to update your USB drive with Bootmgr code.
- Finally, copy all the contents from the Windows 7 DVD to your Pen Drive. Make sure you don’t cause any errors. Plug / Insert your Pen drive into your PC and restart the system.
- Now Enter the BIOS system accordingly by pressing the key delete. (This may vary sometimes it will be F2 or F12). It depends on the type of your system.
- Now select the USB/ Pen Drive as the first boot drive. (Set the first boot priority to USB drive.). Now save the settings in Bios and restart and you will be able to Install Windows 7 using that Pen Drive.
- That's all, Now You are Done...
