  1. Using Diskpart to create a bootable USB flash drive


    Hi All,
    Ive decided to use Diskpart to create a bootable USB flash drive instead of using the Media Creation Tool to create the Windows 10 media. Im just going to use the Media Creation Tool to download the iso image and diskpart to prepare the flash drive.
    Are the following commands correct? In particular is it OK to put the Active command before the format fs=fat32 command?
    You'll notice that Ive omitted "quick" from the format command. Is that the right way to do a Full Format?
    I would prefer to perform a full format on the USB flash drive so that it checks for errors at the same time. I just want to know that performing a full format after the Active command wont interfere with the Active command in any way.
    Ive also left out Assign. Am I correct in thinking that Assign isn't necessary because Windows will automatically give the flash drive the next available drive letter which is what I want to happen?

    diskpart
    list disk
    select disk #
    clean
    convert mbr
    create partition primary
    select partition 1
    active
    format fs=fat32
    exit

    Many Thanks

    :)

  2. Question about creation of bootable UEFI only Win10 USB flash drive with Diskpart

    Hi,

    I have a UEFI boot laptop (not Legacy BIOS).

    If I was to use Diskpart to create a Windows 10 bootable USB flash drive for UEFI only would the following commands be correct? If my understanding is correct there is no need for the "Active" command to be typed in as it isn't required for UEFI bootable
    PC's/laptops or have I got that wrong?

    diskpart

    list disk

    select disk # <- replace # with the actual disk number of the USB flash drive

    clean <- this will erase the disk selected above, make sure it is the USB flash drive!

    create partition primary

    select partition 1

    format fs=fat32

    exit

    Also, just as a matter of interest. Would it also be possible to do this procedure using Disk Management? Obviously you would have to perform the "Clean" command using Diskpart first as that command isn't available in Disk Management as far as I know

  4. Using Diskpart to create a bootable USB flash drive

    Install Windows 10 using UEFI bootable USB thumb drive

    You need to go into you system bios and select allow uefi usb drive. Then add the UEFI usb drive to the boot menu

    better way to partition aand create an bootable usb.

    For the UEFI system, we can use these steps to create the bootable USB:

    1.Locate a 4GB or larger USB flash drive

    2.Open Diskpart and run the following command cmd admin type diskpart

    • Type DiskPart in the command prompt.
    • Type "List Disk” (make note of the disk number of the target USB drive).
    • Type "Select Disk X”, where X is the target USB drive noted in step 4.
    • Type "Clean”.
    • Type "Create Partition Primary”.
    • Type "format FS=fat32 quick”.
    • Type "Active”.
    • Type "Assign".
    • Type "Exit".

    Copy your ISO files to the drive and reboot

    never use UEFI it better to repartition and remove UEFI go with legacy bois
