Help USB boot via cmd

Hello! Here's a step-by-step guide on how to create a bootable USB using CMD:

1. *********** USB drive into your computer's USB port.
2. Open the Command Prompt as an administrator. You can do this by pressing the Windows key + X, and then selecting "Command Prompt (Admin)" from the menu.
3. Type "diskpart" and press Enter. This will open the DiskPart tool.
4. Type "list disk" and press Enter. This will display a list of all the disks connected to your computer. Locate your USB drive and make a note of its disk number.
5. Type "select disk x" (replace "x" with the disk number of your USB drive) and press Enter.
6. Type "clean" and press Enter. This will erase all data on the USB drive.
7. Type "create partition primary" and press Enter. This will create a primary partition on the USB drive.
8. Type "format fs=ntfs quick" and press Enter. This will format the USB drive with the NTFS file system.
9. Type "active" and press Enter. This will mark the partition as active.
10. Type "assign" and press Enter. This will assign a drive letter to the USB drive.
11. Type "exit" and press Enter to exit DiskPart.
12. Insert the bootable media (such as a Windows ISO file) into your computer's CD/DVD drive.
13. In the Command Prompt, navigate to the directory where the bootable media is located. For example, if the bootable media is located in the "Downloads" folder, type "cd Downloads" and press Enter.
14. Type "cd boot" and press Enter.
15. Type "bootsect /nt60 x:" (replace "x" with the drive letter assigned to your USB drive) and press Enter. This will make the USB drive bootable.
16. Copy all the files from the bootable media to the USB drive.

That's it! Your USB drive is now bootable and ready to use. I hope this helps!
