How to create a usb bootable OS

24 Jul 2010

hey guys you must have been thinking of using a linux or other OS. but were scared of partitioning your hard disk or fed up of low speed live cds.

Bingo! i have a solution that solves both of these problems

we will boot our other OS from pendrive.NICE right!

here i will show you how to do it.

first you need to install a software named unetbootin-windows. you can download it from#mce_temp_url#

then you need to click on the selected file

in the bottom select the usb drive.in my computer its G:\ drive.

when the setup is complete it will prompt you to reboot.

during reboot or when computer restarts type F12 or watever key that is assigned in your computer for entering boot menu.In boot menu go and change the boot sequence .

previously it should be like hard disk>cd-rom>usb device.........!

u need to change it to usb device>hard-disk>cd-rom......! this can be done by + or  -  sign.

when its done you are ready to go :)

restart and you have your own working portable OS .

The most important advantage its has over live cds is that it is portable and being a solid stage storage device much faster too :))




nice work dude....post some more in usb installations ...and linux on external drives......
