Diskpart – Dual partition boot disk for Windows

Posted by Mads Dam on 30. J 2024 in Blog

If the media creation tool is failing for some reason – you can make a bootable USB yourself. This is for my reference.

1. cmd (run as administrator)
2. diskpart
3. list disk
4. (select the disk, that is the usb drive) fx: select disk 2
5. clean
6. convert mbr
7. create partition primary size=1024
8. format fs=fat32 quick
9. assign
10. active
11. create partition primary
12. select partition 2
13. format fs=ntfs quick
14. assign
15. exit
16. copy everything but sources-folder to the fat32-drive
17. copy sources to ntfs-drive
18. create sources-folder on fat32-drive
19. move boot.wim from ntfs-drive->sources to fat32-drive->sources

And now you’re ready to play 🙂
