DOS commands
- are the
MS-DOS (Microsoft-Disk Operating System)
commands used to communicate with the operating system and other
command line-based applications. Unlike in Windows, the primary way
you use the operatingsystem is by DOS commands. Windows and other
current OSs use a touch or mouse-based, graphics-based interface.
When you're using Windows (like Windows 10, 8, 7,etc.), you don't
require DOS instructions, since you don't have MS-DOS.Whether you've
just set up your new PC or upgraded your old PC to a newerversion of
Windows, you may like a bootable pendrive that has Windows
OperatingSystem on it. A USB boot is a mechanism where computer
hardware can be usedinstead of a hard disk or a CD drive to access all
the important machine bootinginformation and data.For Dos,
command-prompt is readily accessible in all Dos models. It's actuallya
simpler job to build a bootable USB with a command prompt. To get

abit,before the system runs DISKPART.
3.To view active disks on your machine, type 'list disk' and press
Enter. It canbe shown that with their overall size, the active disks seen
as Disk 0 for harddrive and Disk 1 for your USB flash drive.
4.Type 'select disk 1’ to decide the operation of disk 1 in the next
stage, andthen press Enter.
5.Type 'clean’ and hit Enter to delete all data from the drive.
6.Select 'create partition primary’ and press Enter. Creating a main
partition,and being known as 'partition 1' by Windows.
7.Type 'select partition 1’ and hit Enter. Choosing the partition 1 for
settingup it as an active partition.
8.Type 'active’ and hit Enter. Activating current partition.
9.Type 'format fs=ntfs quick’ and hit Enter. Formatting current
partition asNTFS file system quickly.
