If you are an fairly advanced computer user, at times you may need to boot from devices other then the default hard-disk, mainly to troubleshoot virus infections and other critical operating-system related issues, I had shared tips on how to make bootable cd for performing advance system tasks on windows. Today I will share few utilities enabling you to create bootable USB pen drives with ease, you need to have Motherboard/BIOS with USB boot support for this to work.
MakeBootable is an free and simple-to-use utility to make your Pen Drive act as a boot-up disk without erasing any data on the device. It consists of a single executable file and requires no installation, However the utility will only work on USB device's using Phison’s chip solution and FAT file-system only (you can re-format your drives to FAT easily).
Direct Download : Make_bootable.zip (465Kb)
If the above utility fails to recognize your USB drive you can download and use the HP USB Format Utility and HP USB Boot utility, They work with other brands of flash drives as well, The best software for creating bootable flash drives with the most extensive support of drives and advance options would be "FlashBoot" from PrimeExpert but its not free and costs around $31, you can download and try the demo version.
There are quite a few other manual methods to make usb devices bootable as discussed here, once you succeed in making your USB drive bootable using any of the method discussed above, You need to change the boot-up setting in the system BIOS as described below to boot using your portable device:
- With your device inserted, restart the machine.
- Enter the BIOS setup menu to change the boot device setting.
- If the boot-up files are created in the USB drive, select USB-HDD or USB-ZIP (preferred). If the boot-up files are created in the floppy drive of your device, select USB-FDD (for Pen Drive that supports security mode).
- Save and exit the BIOS setup. You should be able to boot up with you USB device.

Pen drive Bootable
Pen Drive Bootable Free Software
Many times, when you are facing a critical windows problem and y
MakeBootable is a free software which lets you convert your pen drive into a bootable media, After making your pen drive bootable with makebootable you can use your pen drive like a windows xp bootable cd.
Makebootable is so easy to use, as it make your normal USB pen drive a bootable media in one click.
But there is a limitation, you will need to format your pen drive with fat file system in order to make your device bootable.
Convert to FAT and use MakeBootable
1. Backup the existing files on the drive.
2. Perform a FAT format
3. Now Run Makebootable.exe to make your USB portable device bootable.
After making your pen drive bootable, go to your BIOS and select USB Device as First Boot device in the boot device priority.
Making your 8Gb USB drive FAT & losing space...
Instead of making the entire 8Gb USB drive FAT and losing all of that expensive space, format PARTITIONS onto it, and make the first one FAT, mark it "bootable", put your boot sector, MBR, etc. on there, and put everything that doesn't need to go there onto the rest of the thing, (which you DID format as NTFS, didn't you?)
This has worked for me ever since there were FlashDrives big enough to "outrun" the limits of the current file-systems, and they still work today;
Why give up all of that "dollars-per-Gb" space when you can keep & use all of it?
Just figure up ahead of time how big the "boot partition" needs to be, & make the rest NTFS...
I don't know why anyone's having to put ANY FAT-partitions on an 8- or even a 32-Gb USB FlashDrive; My primary systems all use HDDs with nothing but NTFS on them, so the first time I made a "pen-drive" bootable, I formatted it to NTFS, and it's always worked well...
The only reason I made ONE with a FAT-booter is for my older machines, that can only run Win95 or Win-3.11, and which can't "see" NTFS, and I need to boot them in order to fix something on the disk to make it boot normally again.
When in doubt, "RTFM"!

HOW TO MAKE BOOTABLE PEN DRIVE & CD WITH NTFS PARTITIONS
HELLO................... SIR
PLS TELL ME HOW CAN I MAKE A BOOTABLE PENDRIVE
& HOW CAN I MAKE A BOOTABLE CD WITH NTFS PARTITIONS
boot able pen drive through command
you else you need to change it
Format the Pendrive or USB drive in NTFS format first.
From the start menu right click on the command prompt and select “Run as administrator“.
Now type the following commands (Press enter key after each command).
diskpart. This is to open the disk partition program.
Now to show the list of drives type list disk.
You can see disk’s listed there. Note down the disk number of your pendrive eg. Disk .
Now type SELECT DISK X (where X is the number you noted down for the pendrive from step 5)
Now type CLEAN.
Now type the following commands by pressing enter after each one.
CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY
SELECT PARTITION 1 (Assuming your pendrive/ USB drive is 1).
ACTIVE
FORMAT FS=NTFS
ASSIGN
EXIT(Now the disk partition program will exit). Now we need to give some more commands.
Now insert the Windows 7 Installation DVD and to your DVD drive.
Here i am assuming DVD drive as G and Pendrive as I.(Change it accordingly).
Now type G:CD BOOT
Now type this command BOOTSECT.EXE/NT60 I: to update your USB drive with bootmgr code.
Finally copy all the contents from the Windows 7 DVD to your Pendrive. Make sure you don’t cause any errors.
Plug / Insert your pendrive to your PC and restart the system.
Now Enter the Bios system accordingly by pressing the key delete.(This may vary some times it will be F2 or F12. It depends on the type of your system. Any how during the start up your system will display which key to press to enter the Bios).
Now select the USB/ Pendrive as the first boot driver.(Set the first boot priority to USB drive.).
Now save the settings in Bios and restart and you will be able to Install Windows 7 using that pendrive.

I used the HP boot thing on my 8 GB flash frive now it boots but says its got 3,64 GB!!!!!!!!!!!
Shrunk flash drive
It's not the utility that has done this. It's the FAT file system that has a limitation on the size of a partition. Max 4 Gb, I believe.
USB compatibility
How can you find out wether a usb drive has Phison’s chip solution
Really good.
I am planning to buy a license software
thank u
thanks budy
Limitation of FATfile system
Now, you can create FAT file system upto 32Gb or even more with tools/applications
If at first...
If at first, you don't like the version of the USB-bootable s/w you've got, just "Google" for another - It's all over the FREE internet, there are over a thousand titles in every language on earth (almost) out there, all for free;
