SOP for a bootable USB key is: | |
Launch DiskPart as an Administrator. | |
Use List Disk to find your USB key | |
Use Select Disk to choose your USB key. | |
Clean (to wipe out the USB and delete the partition entries). | |
Run Create Partition Primary to create a new primary partition on the USB flash drive. | |
Format FS=NTFS Quick to lay down the file system as NTFS. | |
Assign (to give our USB a drive letter). | |
Active to make it bootable. |
