Windows 10: Create a bootable Windows 10 installer on the second hard drive

Hello! I've been messing with my laptop for hours now and still doesn't work so here's my problem...

I have new m.2 SSD which I will use to replace my existing SSD on my laptop. Now I want to install an image of my OS on my new SSD but my problem was I don't have a working USB right now to make a bootable windows 10 installer. My laptop has a second mechanical drive here, so my question is can I make a new partition on the mechanical drive, make it bootable and then install a windows 10 installer there so I can use the tool where I can restore my OS image? Any help will be appreciated! Thanks!

Multi-bootable USB

Hey guys from TPU, couldn't find any specific thread pertaining to the question asked on title. As mentioned, I'm trying to create a bootable USB, but with many specifics boots available.

I've been trying to create one with multiple boot device including one that enables me to run Windows 10 directly on the USB Thumb Drive but to no avail.

The list of bootable images i'm trying to create are

1. Windows 10 (A full OS running from thumb drive)
2. Windows 10 ISO (Bootable disk image for fresh install)
3. MemTest86+

Have tried YUMI or UUI from the website USB PenDrive Linux but as this is my first time, i don't know how am i screwing up or am doing it right.. Anyone got a rough idea on a step by step guide? Thanks!

 

Make second drive bootable

Thanks guys. The first drive is actually now in another computer. I was trying to cheat to make the drive that was the second drive bootable. I downloaded Partition Wizard Bootable CD and was able to make it the primary drive, but that still didn't work since it had installed BOOTMGR on the first drive. Secondly, I'm short one DVD drive ATM. I'll have a new DVD drive here on Friday and then I will try newtekie's suggestion, mostly out of curiosity. It has 32 bit on it now and I'm going to give 64 bit a try. Anyone have the RC1 64 bit ISO?

 

Make second drive bootable

Hi,

To play with 7, I installed a second drive and installed 7 there. The primary drive has moved on and I'd like to see if this drive will boot or if I have to start over. Any ideas on how to make it bootable, that is how to make the partition on it bootable? I need something that I can boot from a CD drive if possible.
