This post will help you to make your bootable pendrive in no time.
Today having a bootable pen drive is very essential, especially for laptop users who work for 8-10 hours daily. Having a bootable drive not only saves your time but also saves DVD.
Bootable pendrive can be used to install a OS like Linux, windows on your system.
Sometimes, it can even be used to fix our boot sector errors due to which some times our windows failed to start with some simple command which i will be discussing later in the post.

1) First start your command prompt by pressing windows+R button and write cmd in it and press enter or press windows button type cmd and then press enter(for win7 users). If you are not an administrator than type cmd in windows and press ctrl+shift+enter.
