we know
how to install the OS from a CD. But when it comes to install the OS from a pen
drive so many think that an extra software is needed. But there are some ways
where we can install the OS from a pen drive and that too without using the
additional software ( just by using command prompt). Here is how we can do
that. Enjoy..... :-)
1) Save
all data on your flash drive to another location if you want to keep it.
2) Insert the flash drive into a USB port on your computer.

type “cmd” in the Search field and press “Enter.” This will bring up the Command
Prompt. Type “diskpart” and press “Enter.” The Diskpart window will open.
4) Type “list disk” and press “Enter.” In
the listed disk drives, find the flash drive. You will be able to recognize it
by its listed size. Type “select diskname”, where diskname is the name of your
disk. Click “Enter.”
5) Type “clean” and press “Enter.” This
will remove everything on the drive.
6) Create a partition by typing “create
partition primary” and pressing “Enter.” Type “select partition 1” and press
“Enter.” Type “active” and press “Enter.”
7) Type “format fs=fat32 quick” and press

will assign a letter to the flash drive, such as “G.”
9) Type “exit” and press
"Enter."
10) Insert the Windows
7/Vista installation disc and note down the “drive letter” of your DVD drive.
ex: “H:”.
Open
the Command prompt.
If you are using Windows 7/Vista then open it with administrator rights*.
* Goto Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Right-click on “Command Prompt” and select “Run as Administrator”.
Now type the following list of commands as shown below:
