How to make a pen drive boot able by command prompt

This article is going to explain how to make a flash drive boot able without any software for installing windows. There are many third party tools to achieve this. But doing it by command prompt is very easy, faster and also much reliable.
Keep in mind that for installing windows 7 or a higher version it's highly recommended to use at least a 8 GB pen drive. 



Now follow these steps.

1. Open command prompt as administrator.
2. Now type following commands respectively. Don't forget to press enter key after each command.

  • DISKPART
  • LIST DISK
  • SELECT DISK 1(Enter the appropriate disk number displayed by above LIST DISK command. Don't go wrong with this number. Using a wring number may format your hard disk)
  • CLEAN
  • CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY
  • SELECT PARTITION 1
  • ACTIVE
  • FORMAT FS=NTFS QUICK (After entering this command your pen drive will begin to format. This will take a few minutes)
  • ASSIGN
  • EXIT

3. Now it's finish making your pen drive boot able.  Next you have to mount windows .iso image and copy all the files inside that image to pen drive.

4. Finally restart your computer having pen drive connected and choose "Boot from USB device" from BIOS menu.

Extend internal memory of any Android device (Root Needed)

Low internal memory is a very common problem between low end android devices. Today most of android devices have both more than enough processing power and RAM size. But the internal memory size is relatively low. Due to low internal memory, we can't install many apps and most of the times sync stops working. Two most popular solutions to low internal memory problem. Link2SD Drawback - Slow down the device vold.fstab method Risk of bricking the phone. Need the appropriate vold.fstab for the device. I'm going to tell you a different method. In this method the SD card is joined to the end of the internal memory. If the internal memory is not enough, then the SD card will be used instead of the internal memory.  I installed NFS Most Wanted and NFS No Limits on a Xpeia E3 Dual after extending the internal memory using this methods. (Xperia E3 Dual has a internal memory of 1.7 GB)
