1.2-2 Bootable Media

INFORMATION SHEET 1.

Bootable Media
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST be able to:

1. Identify the essential factor of different boot devices.
2. Create and configure installer using flash drive and/or different form
of storage devices.
INTRODUCTION
Boot is to load the first piece of software that starts a computer.
Because the operating system is essential for running all other
programs, it is usually the first piece of software loaded during the boot
process.
Storage Media is a device for recording (storing) information (data).
Bootable Media/ Bootable Device is physical media (CD, DVD, USB
flash drive or other removable media supported by a machine BIOS as
a boot device) that boots on any PC-compatible machine.
Bootable media is most often used to:
• recover an operating system that cannot start
• access and back up the data that has survived in a corrupted
system
• back up sector-by-sector a disk with an unsupported file system
• hardware or software troubleshooting
The process of booting

The term boot comes from the idea of lifting oneself by one's own
bootstraps: the computer contains a tiny program (bootstrap loader)
which will load and run a program found on a boot device.
Warm Boot vs. Cold Boot
• Cold Boot
To perform a cold boot (also called a "hard boot") means to start up a
computer that is turned off. It is typically performed by pressing the
power button on the computer.
• Warm Boot
To perform warm boot (also called a "soft boot") means to restart a
computer. It is typically initiated from the operating system, rather
than pressing a button on the computer itself.

For example, to perform a warm boot on a Windows system, you may
select Shut Down → Restart from the Start Menu. If you use a Mac, you
can perform a warm boot by selecting Restart… from the Apple Menu
CREATE WINDOWS INSTALLER USING FLASH DRIVE

Small portable computing devices such as Netbooks and MIDs (Mobile
Internet Devices) offer great mobility, but they lack optical drives
(CD/DVD). An optical drive is important when you need to install
software from a CD or DVD. An external optical drive would work, but
you may not want to lug it around with you. So what’s the solution?
Use a USB flash drive as a bootable installation media.
What You Need:
1. A USB flash drive with good storage capacity; preferably 4GB or
more.
2. Access to a computer running Windows Vista or Windows 7.
3. A CD or DVD containing software you want to download.
Procedure
1. Click Start > All Programs > Accessories > Right click on
Command Prompt > Run as Administrator.

2. Type ‘diskpart' and press Enter to start the built in Windows disk
partitioning utility

3. Type 'list disk' and press Enter. Identify your USB Flash drive
and make a note of the disk number. Here in this example, My
USB flash drive is Disk 4.
Note: Careful about choosing correct disk index number,
failure to select right disk may result to permanent deletion of
data that may lead to catastrophic event.

9. To format the partition using FAT32 file system, type ‘format
fs=fat32’ and press the Enter key.
Important
If your server platform supports Unified Extensible Firmware Interface
(UEFI), you should format the USB flash drive as FAT32 rather than as
NTFS. To format the partition as FAT32, type format fs=fat32 quick,
and then click ENTER.

10. Type 'assign' and press the Enter key to assign a drive letter to your
USB flash drive. Type exit to exit the diskpart utility.

Your USB flash drive is now ready to be used as an installation media.
All you need to do is copy the entire contents of the Operating System
(DVD) to your newly prepared USB flash drive. Plug the USB flash drive
to the computer and reboot to begin the installation.
