What I Need to Know

This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help you master the concept of portable bootable devices in installing and configuring computer systems. The scope of this module permits it to be used in many different learning situations. The language used recognizes the diverse vocabulary level of students. The lessons are arranged to follow the standard sequence of the course. But the order in which you read them can be changed to correspond with the textbook you are now using.

After going through this module, you are expected to:

1. Define boot device;

2. Discuss two (2) common ways in preparing a bootable flash drive,

namely, using CMD and using Rufus.

4

What’s In

In your whole life, have you encountered floppy disk drive, CD-ROM drive, DVD-ROM drive and flash drive?

Have you tried to engage it in your daily life those bootable devices? Can you identify which is more efficient and which is not?

Do you have at least one bootable device used? Have you ever thought of the importance of it nowadays?

This lesson deals with portable bootable devices in installing and configuring computer systems under the core competencies.

What is It

Read and understand the concepts of portable bootable devices in installing and configuring computer systems. Your understanding on these will help you deeply understand the importance of portable bootable devices in Computer Systems Servicing.

What is boot device?

A boot device is a kind of hardware that reads or holds the file being requiredto start thecomputer. Examples of bootable devices are floppy disk drive, CD-ROM drive, DVD-ROM drive, and flash drive.

Operating System Installation using Portable Bootable Devices

You can install an operating system without using a physical disk or DVD of the installer by using and ISO image of the installer. But first, what is an ISO image?

An ISO image is simply an archived/compressed file of an optical disc. It contains every bit of data on the written sector of the optical disc including its file system.

6

Using an ISO image of a Windows installer, you can easily prepare a portable bootable device that we can use to install your operating system.

In this module, you are going to learn how to do prepare a bootable flash drive and a bootable DVD.

Bootable Flash Drive

There are many methods in preparing a bootable flash drive. In this module, we will discuss two common ways to do it, namely, using CMD and using Rufus.

Method 1 - Use Windows CMD

You can use CMD or the Command Prompt to prepare a bootable flash drive. Before you proceed, be sure to prepare the ISO file that you will use for the installation. Be sure to back up any data that you have in the flash drive before proceeding.

Step 1. Plug-in a suitable flash drive to a working computer.

Step 2. Open the “Start” menu and type “CMD”.

• Right-click “Command Prompt” and choose “Run as Administrator”.

• You can also press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER instead. • This will open CMD in Administrator mode.

Step 3. In the Command Prompt, type disk part.

Step 4. A new command line window will open. You will need to identify the flash drive number or drive letter.

• At the Command Prompt, type list disk then press the ENTER key.

• This command will show all the disks on the computer. Take note of the drive number/letter of your USB Flash Drive.

• If you are confused with the drives you see, refer to the size mentioned in the list. It should be with the same as the capacity of your flash drive.

Step 5. In the Command Prompt window, type select disk <drive number>. For example: select disk 1 then press the ENTER key.

Step 6. Again, at the Command Prompt, type clean, then press ENTER. This will delete everything from the flash drive.

Step 7. Create a new primary partition on the flash drive by typing create part pri, then pressing the ENTER key.

Step 8. Select the partition you just created by typing select part 1 and then pressing the ENTER key.

Step 9. Format the partition by typing format fs+ntfs quick, and then pressing Enter.

• You can also format to FAT32 if you need to do so (your server platform supports UEFI) by typing format fs=fat32 and then pressing the ENTER key.

Step 10. In the command line, type the command active then press ENTER.

Step 11. Type exit to leave diskpart then type exit again to close the Command Prompt, then ENTER.

Method 2 - Use Rufus Software

Using Rufus is a convenient way to prepare a bootable flash drive. Rufus, by Pete Batard/Akeo can be downloaded from this site: rufus.akeo.ie

After downloading the Rufus software, make sure you are logged into the Administrator account on the PC you are using to avoid any issues. The process of preparing the bootable disk using Rufus will still erase all contents of the flash drive, so make sure you have backed up the files you don’t want to lose.

Step 1. Plug-in a suitable flash drive to a working computer.

Step 2. Run Rufus. If asked for a software update, choose No for now.

You will now see the user interface of Rufus. This is something that CMD lacks that makes Rufus easier to use.

DISKPART> format fs+ntfs quick

Step 3.Rufus will immediately detect your USB Flash Drive, but to be sure, check the data selected in the drop-down boxes.

• On the Devices selection, make sure that the name, drive letter, and drive size match the name, letter, and size of your flash drive.

• You can modify other settings in here but for this installation, let’s leave the default settings.

Step 4.Make sure that the option “Create a bootable disk using” is checked and “ISO image” is selected in the drop-down box.

Step 5.Now, click the Optical Drive button.

10

This will open a dialog box where you will find the ISO image you are going to use for the bootable flash drive.

Step 6.Find the ISO image then press Open. Rufus will automatically configure the settings to match the ISO image.

You can specify a different label for the bootable flash drive by editing the content of the textbox.

If everything is set correctly, press the Start button. This will begin the process.

A dialog box will appear. It will tell you that the operation will delete all content in your flash drive, so better back up before proceeding. If you don’t need any back up, press OK to proceed.

11

Step 7.Find the ISO image then press Open. Rufus will automatically configure the settings to match the ISO image.

Note: You can see a log of the steps in the operation by clicking the “log” button.

Step 8.When finished, click the “Close” button.

Verify if the files were copied to the flash drive (open your flash drive)

Step 9.Eject the flash drive and voila! You are done. You may now proceed to installing your operating system using your portable bootable flash drive.
