This is the method to make your usb windows bootable by which you can install windows 7/8/8.1 on your laptop or PC without any CD or DVD. In this tutorial I will tell you how to make it possible with the help of DOS.

Instructions:

Step 1
Obtain the windows files from DVD or any other source and save them to your hard disk.

Step 2
Insert your usb disk minimum of 4 GB of size. Now open CMD as administrator. Now you have to write some commands which are discussed from step 3.

The first command you have to write is DISKPART and press enter. With this command the process will start.

Step 4
