Download the Windows version of your choice This guide requires that we already have a Windows ISO. You can get one for the latest versions of Windows through the following guides: • • • How to create a Windows installation bootable USB flash drive CDs and DVD aren't dead yet, but they are on their last legs. USB thumb drives have a smaller size, larger capacity, faster read and write speed, and they are impervious to scratches. So, why bother to create a Windows installation disc, when we can have a Windows USB? Provided our motherboard's BIOS can boot from USB, of course.
Rufus: The fastest way to create a Windows USB There are several programs we can use to create a Windows USB from an ISO. For or, we can create a bootable Windows USB straight from Microsoft's Media Creation Tool, no third-party apps required. It even skips over the step to download the ISO; it's a true all-in-one solution. If, however, we have already downloaded Windows as an ISO, or wish to create a Windows 7 USB, Rufus is one of the best apps to create a Windows USB of any version. We will find the latest version. The program's interface seems a bit cluttered and somewhat old-fashioned, but it's simple to use.
Rufus also claims to be much faster than its competitors, in comparisons with the same ISO and USB stick. Creating a bootable Windows USB with Rufus To create a bootable Windows USB, we just need to make sure that we have selected our USB flash drive in the 'Device' field, and that it has a capacity of at least 4GB.
If we use a Windows 10 ISO that has both x86 and x64 versions together, we will need a thumb drive with a capacity of at least 8GB. Most other Windows versions will fit on a 4GB flash drive. For a Windows 7 installation USB, the MBR partition scheme for BIOS or UEFI is the best option.
If we are installing Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 on a UEFI system with a GPT disk, we must select a 'GPT partition scheme for UEFI.' After that, we click on the disc icon and choose the ISO image. Rufus will automatically change the File system to NTFS, which is a prerequisite for creating a Windows USB. It will also change the volume label to ESD-ISO. We don't need to do anything special to make the USB bootable, change any settings or check any options.
If we use the Microsoft/Digital River ISOs, it will be bootable by default. Finally, we click 'Start.' Rufus will warn us that it will destroy any data already on the flash drive. If we have no data on the USB flash, or we don't care about the files, we proceed with 'OK.' Depending on the speed of the thumb drive and the USB version, the Windows USB will take a few minutes to prepare. With an old and slow USB 2.0 drive, the process took more than 23 minutes. Using a, with the same ISO on the same system, it finished in about two and a half minutes.
Remember to safely eject the USB It's a good idea to remove the USB safely, to minimize any chance of corruption. Corrupted data is never fun, but it's especially bad on a Windows USB. How to create a Windows installation disc If we have an older-than-10-years motherboard on our PC, it is possible that it can't boot from a Windows USB. In that case, a Windows installation disc is the most compatible solution.
What's best is that Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10 can create a Windows installation disc from an ISO without any third-party programs. We just need to right-click on the ISO and select the 'Burn disc image' option. Then, it's just a matter of selecting our DVD-R drive - in which we should have an empty DVD-R or DVD-RW - and click on 'Burn.' We can optionally check the 'Verify disc after burning' checkbox, to make sure the Windows installation disc was created correctly and with no corruptions or any other problems.
As with the USB, we don't need to do anything special for the DVD to be bootable. With the official ISOs, it will be bootable by default.

Ok,the description won't be too long: I have a 64mb ram pc that mounts WinXP,and I want to format it and do a clean install of Windows ME. I have a usable floppy drive and I have installed plop boot manager,so i can boot from usb sticks. Now,I tried mounting the iso on the stick with a couple programs,but none of them seem to support my ISO or install the boot manager correctly,cause I can't run the installer on the pc.If there's a way to boot from floppy and then install from usb (let floppy and usb interact) it would be great.Or anyways manage to install it. Please,keep in mind that I'm not english,so if you can,use basic language with me.Thanks!
Message edited by SupahSourCream. This is the bootdisk.com link for dos USB support: As you can see there's no single way to do it. You have to load a driver to recognize the USB port and then a driver to support what's plugged into the port. PLOP, is that software you install on the hard drive that runs on bootup and then allows a software solution to boot from USB? What is drive C: and what is drive E:? Are they partitions on a single hard drive or separate drives?
On a regular ME installation disk the setup files are in a directory called WIN9X. If you copy that directory onto a hard drive you can install ME from there.
If XP is now on a separate drive you can do the copying with xp running. Then remove the xp drive, boot with an ME bootdisk and start the installation from the remaining drive that has the installation files. But first tell us what's the deal with the two drives. So,if I am right,I can copy the WIN9X directory into my empty disk C: (I checked a few minutes ago and I discovered that I have nothing on it) and from the fdisk on the boot floppy,format the drive where XP is installed (E:).
Will it work in the same way of removing it? Plop is exactly what you said,it installs a normal boot manager but from there you can boot from usb,thing that on my bios wasn't possible. Drive C: and drive E: are,most likely,two separate drives,'cause if i try to format them from the windows ME boot floppy,even if I say to delete all partitions,the drives are still two.(I didn't build this pc,so I really don't know how it is) message edited by SupahSourCream. You can check in bios setup to see how the drives are identified. If it shows two then that's what you've got. Or open the case and look inside.
If there are two I'd just disconnect the xp drive after copying over the necessary files. That way if something goes awry you'll still have xp. As riider says you'll need to make sure C: is partitioned as fat or fat32 (depending on its size) and not NTFS.
You can do that with the ME bootdisk or I think you can do it from within xp. FDISK and FORMAT are two different commands. Running fdisk gives you partition info and the ability to create and remove them.
Format prepares the partition for use. You have to be careful using fdisk when you have more than one drive as it may specify drive letters differentliy than does windows resulting in some people deleting the wrong partition. Also note you'll need an ME product key and ME driver support for the motherboard and any added cards. Ok I know the fact of fat32,and I already formatted it (It was ntfs),and yes,I already used plop boot manager to run a couple linux,and it worked. Dois Filhos De Francisco Download 720p here.
I used Rufus with windows XP and for linux I used Unetbootin.But for windows ME it didn't work,so I tried with a program called Easy2boot,but it just won't boot. What do you mean with 'you'll need a ME product key and ME driver support for the motherboard and any added cards.' Can't I install without the key?
Maybe installing it later? I'm trying peazip now and post results anyway.
Yeah you should be able to bypass the product key when installing. I'm not sure how long you have before one must be entered. ME is not like XP and later products where the key is registered with MS so any ME key should work, although I'm sure it's like 98 in that the formula on the disk that determines if the key you enter is valid is different for OEM and MS installation versions. The installation disk may or may not have all the drivers you need for the PC's hardware. If it doesn't (as determined by what shows in device manager after the install) you'll need to find them elsewhere--usually the support page for your system or motherboard or the hardware manufacturer. If you get the flash drive to boot that's great but if you get the installation files copied to the drive then you only need to boot with an ME (or 98) floppy bootdisk to do the install.
DAVEINCAPS is right when he says the most easy solution is to buy a cheap CD/DVD drive. If you would live near me (I live in the Netherlands) I would give you a CD rom drive for free because I have too many old hardware lying around;-). For a long time I havent looked at ME, but yesterday I have installed ME on a 'super' computer I made from spare parts (Celeron III @ 1Ghz, 256 Mb Ram, 80Gb IDE drive). The ME installation CD I have is not bootable for some reason (its a Microsoft Select Volume License CD) so I ran into similar problems. The most easy solution was to startup from a Windows 98 CD with support for a CD/DVD drive and after starting changing the 98 CD with the ME installation CD. (then at the DOS prompt: change to D: --->CD WIN9X -->setup.exe) If you are not able to get a CD Rom drive here's what you can do: Remove the harddisk and prepare it on another computer.
You already did a FAT32 format I guess, but you also have to copy the content of the WinME installation directory (WIN9X) to a directory on this harddrive. Now you can boot from an MS-DOS floppy, change to the C: drive and go the WIN9X directory and start the setup.exe from there. Its quite similar to what I did myself yesterday, but you have to prepare your harddisk first on another computer. I thinks it is the most simple and easy solution, so forget about using USB or Linux loaders and other bootdisks (although WinME supports USB after installation, it is not recommended to rely on USB before installion of ME.) BTW my ME machine is superfast, it boots in less than 10 seconds! (about 5 seconds when I start counting from 'Verifying DMI pool data' which is part of the Bios;-) The reason why I am preparing it is because I have bought a very good second hand PCI soundcard (Guillemot Maxi Studio Isis) which I am going to use message edited by Soedesh.
