Install Windows from USB stick

If you have a laptop without CD/DVD drive (like eeePC) or if you want to speed-up installation process you can use an USB stick for this job. Below are the steps you should follow:

Plug-in the USB stick and open command prompt

1. Diskpart
2. List Disk
3. Select Disk 1 (Replace 1 with number reflecting your USB Drive)
4. clean
5. create partition primary
6. active
7. format fs=fat32 quick
8. assign

Now, a drive letter reflecting the drive should appear. Copy the contents from the Windows CD/DVD to the USB Stick.

Restart your computer and set the boot option in BIOS to use the USB stick.

Good luck!
