To
format your computer with a usb drive you must have to make a bootable
pen drive or usb drive. Listen if you have question of why should I use usb drive to
format instead of cd/dvd then one thing you should notice that

option when your pc is not connected to power. So make the usb drive
bootable from these simple steps. Yo can make bootable pen drive for Windows 10, Windows 7, Windows 8 and for Windows vista only using Command prompt. You can not make bootable usb drive for Windows XP by this process.

the data from the USB as we
