How to find USB in dos

Hi

If you want to install window operating system via USB, you must ensure that your first booting device is USB drive. You should open the computer setup and make USB drive as first booting device and restart the notebook. If there is any operating system in USB the notebook will automatically start installing that operating system.

Thank you

How to find USB in dos

Hi,

You have to do few things to boot from a USB pen drive.

1. Make your USB drive to primary drive.

2. Enable the boot option that should first boot from a USB.

I tell you how to do this. This is simple task. First you need to make your USB drive to primary drive. To do that you have to format your USB drive as a primary drive. You can get a tool for this. I will give a tool which can easily convert your USB as a bootable drive.

Go to link and download the WinUSB Maker v2.0 PUBLIC BETA RELEASE 2

In this site, you can get any details for how to convert USB drive. Then restart your notebook and from the beginning press F2 continuously. Then you can see Bios Option appears.

In this Windows, Go to Boot option and select USB boot enable or select 1st boot is USB something like that. I can’t tell you exactly which option is you have to select because different computers have different Bios Menu. So you need to find it yourself.

You can get help from your motherboard user manual. After doing all these things you will be able to boot your computer using your USB pen drive.
