Windows 10: USB-FDD acronym

what USB-FDD stands for

Acronyms and Other Things

When I worked at Chevron, there was an official document which had 30,000 (yes 30,000) acronym definitions which is ridiculous as there is only around 60,000 words in relatively common English usage.

 

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

 

Acronyms and Other Things

We've all seen it at least once; someone posts an explanation and right in the middle of that explanation, you see one or two of the following: GPO, WSL, IE, OIC, WIP, WU, IE11, etc. Try as you might, you cannot remember what half of those mean, if you can remember any at all!

The purpose of this thread is for us to have a convenient place to find information and to:

1. Ask what an acronym means
2. Ask what an acronym does
3. Post acronyms and their meaning
4. Keep us up to date on any new acronyms

You get the drift . . .

So, without further ado, I'll post a couple I know:

WU = Windows Update
IE11 = Internet Explorer 11 (IE has been hidden under Windows Accessories since Windows 10 first Previewed four years ago).

And a couple I don't know:

GPO
WSL

Let's get a great list going, OK?

And just for good measure, how 'bout this one?

DISM = Deployment Image Servicing and Management. DISM is a command-line tool that is used to mount and service Windows images before deployment. You can use DISM image management commands to mount and get information about Windows image (.wim) files or virtual hard disks (VHD).
