The production tools involved are all edited. , one by one and successfully started to install Windows 8 system, so if you see this article, you can completely ignore the introduction of other articles on the Internet.

Why do you say that? Because, in the process of production, the editor also read a large number of articles and methods on the Internet. If the operation is step by step, mistakes and unsuccessful are not rare. Therefore, after the editor has solved the problem by finding the problem, I will present this U disk boot production method to everyone, and hope that the friends who install the Win8 system will take less detours and complete it in one step!

First, let me explain a problem, why not copy the downloaded ISO image directly to the U disk to become the boot disk? Or is it by copying the ISO image to the U disk to become the boot disk?

Simply put, whether it is a USB flash drive or a CD, since you want to use it as a boot disk, you must have a boot file, also called a boot file, and this boot file must be in the root directory. Next, when the computer is started, it will be executed according to this boot file. So, very simple, we need some tools to write this boot file.

So, in this article, we are involved in the U disk production tools Windows 8 USB Installer Maker, UltraISO, computer store U disk boot disk production tools. There are a lot of methods and tools for making a U disk boot installation, but as long as you master one of them is simple enough.

This article uses the Skull (SSK) Ruiqin USB3.0 16GB U disk. Since Win8 itself has the largest ISO image size of 3.5GB, if it is decompressed, the decompressed file is about 4GB, so if you want to make Win8 U disk, it must be greater than 4GB, that is, you need to prepare an 8G. Or a larger U disk. Another advantage of a large-capacity USB flash drive is that it saves other programs and files in addition to the boot disk, and does not waste.

Another need to explain is that when you need to use a USB flash drive as a startup, you should first think of setting the first startup item in BiOS. Because the default first boot in many motherboards is the hard drive boot. Because the BIOS settings in different motherboard models are different, here is not to discuss in depth, boot into BiOS is to press the Del key or F2, you need to determine according to the actual situation, try not to damage the computer, so do not worry.

System boot disk, there are some masters, or Internet cafe administrators, computer salesmen, often installed, prefer DIY one-button installed, not only can install the system, but also format the hard disk, disk partition, and system maintenance, more System integration, system Ghost, etc., is that they can make their own set of boot discs.
