Windows 10: Apparently, Windows 8.1 is too big for my brand new 128 GB USB.

Tried to move the ISO to my USB and well.

Installing windows off of a USB stick

Step By Step from vista:
From admin cmd prompt

1. diskpart
1a. list disk
2. select disk 1 (replace 1 with your usb drive)
3. clean
4. create partition primary
5. select partition 1 (replace 1 with your usb drive)
6. active
7. format fs=fat32
8. assign
9. exit

Copy Windows Vista's DVD ROM content to the Flash Drive

xcopy d:\*.* /s/e/f e:\ (d being your vista cd and e being your usb stick)

And that's it, boot off your usb disk

 

Windows 10 Installation USB key was converted from 128 gb to 32 gb! how to undo?

while creating a USB installation key for windows 10, it erased everything on my 128 gb key, then converted it to 32 gb, and put the win 10 install files on it. I formatted the key, and went into disk management to delete partitions and recreate the whole
128 gb partition, but ii will not allow me to delete either the 32 gb partition nor the remaining unused space! thanks microsoft, that key cost me over $80!

anyone know how to convert the usb key back to its full 128 gb size, seeing that microsoft does not offer any support?

is anyone else feeling really disappointed that MS does not offer support for their products? If you go on their site to contact the help desk, the number listed is 12 digits long, and the first 11 don't get you anywhere! since when does a phone number look
like this:

Anyway, just please someone help me get this ms messed up key back to normal! thanks

 

trancend 128 usb drive appears with 32 GB


Hi there

Easy way to do that in Command mode (admin / elevated)

1) Diskpart
2) List Disk -- should show a number of HDD's including the one with your USB on it
3)Select Disk nn where nn is Disk nr shown in the List Disk (step 2)
4) Clean

5) exit

Now in control panel --admin tools-->computer management-->disk management you should see your USB device as either RAW or unformatted. Create partition on it to desired size and type.
