Creating a bootable USB drive using WUDT
I bought a new notebook without an installed operation system and having no internal or external DVD drive.
So it is necessary to boot Windows 8 from a USB device.
A small tool named "Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool" makes it possible to easily create a bootable USB drive with any Windows version.
A step by step instruction you can easily find on google.
But now the reason why I posted this stuff:
The programm told me that it can't copy my data. So i had to check my USB drive or the ISO Image.
I was pretty sure, that both working probably. Finally I found information about this failure on a website, where the author describes how to set up your USB drive [1].
Apparently the USB drive has to reveal to a specific format and partition.
The following instruction shows you how to prepare your USB drive working with WUDT:
- Open the command prompt with administrator rights: Start --> CMD , right klick "Run as Admin"
- type in diskpart
- type in list disk
- Select this drive which is your USB drive; the second collum denotes the corresponding number of your drive
- ' # ' stands for the number corresponds to the USB drive; type in select disk #
- type in clean
- type in create partition primary
- type in select partition 1
- type in active
- type in format qucik fs=fat32
- type in assign
- type in exit
Now your UBS drive can be used by WUDT.
If it's still not working check as you had administrator rights, your ISO isn't damaged and your USB stick isn't broken.
Greetings
