Thanks KYH, I'll test it!I assume you have windows 8.1 and you need certain files in your windows\system32 folder that are not present on your current system..
oscdimg is a MS tool for creating ISO's > https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh824847.aspx
And the Command Line is >
Oscdimg -bootdata:2#p0,e,bEtfsboot.com#pEF,e,bEfisys.bin -h -m -o -u1 -udfver102 S:\ T:\name.iso
The last two entires
S:\ = the source directory and/or folder for the iso files
T:\Name.iso = the Target directory and file name and iso extension for the New ISO
That looks promising, I'll have to test it, thanks.How about something like this: Download ImageUSB - MajorGeeks
You mean a copy/paste operation? No, that won't do it, you can't copy the boot sector this way, so the new drive will not be bootable.What am I missing here?
Wouldn't it be easier to connect the old USB drive and the new one and copy the drive?
If the ISO created using the procedure you describe is "burned" back to a USB flash drive (using UltraISO, Rufus, or any other app), will that USB flash drive be bootable? Will it be a clone of the original flash drive?To answer what you intend to do. The easiest way to make an ISO from the USB stick:
- Download: PortableAppZ: UltraISO 9.6.2.3059 Multilingual
- Run Ultra ISO and open the USB stick with file explorer, select all, drag and drop into Ultra ISO then File->Save as ISO.
Reason I asked is that many times when you create an ISO of a bootable media, and depending on the app used, you need to go into Advanced Options and specify to include the boot sector files, otherwise the ISO created will not be bootable, just a copy of the files.Iso burned back should be exactly same as it was before making it. Exact copy bit by bit, bootable if it was before.
No problem with that. You can even use Winzip/Winrar to unzip it to the USB drive and it'll boot.If the ISO created using the procedure you describe is "burned" back to a USB flash drive (using UltraISO, Rufus, or any other app), will that USB flash drive be bootable?
