  6. I have a problem where it states that the files copied are successful but unable to run bootsect to make the usb bootable

  7. HI Srinu, great job you do here. Thnx.
    My desktop pc has win 8.1 that just crashed. Have no disks to recover. I looked at your video and text, could not just locate the .iso file. please advice. Many thnkss for all goo dwork you do here.best -rajs

  8. 8.1 will not boot. Only o/s available to me is XP. I noticed Win7 is referred to in your instructions, what link should I follow to get an XP version of USB – DVD -tool so I can find an 8.1 ISO to use in creating an 8.1 bootable DVD?

  9. WHOAA !!! IT WORKED. I had suspicion coz i already had WIn 7 usb/dvd download tool,but now i see i had older version of the app.

  10. Are you sure
    This software working properly in windows 8.1 ???
    Can you tested this software in windows 8.1 platform ?
    Because review is not for windows 8 so plz reply me before I download this software

    • Yes, I have installed windows 8.1 in my PC also. I made bootable DVD using this software only. All you have to do is get a good ISO files that’s it.

  11. I used this guide to create a bootable USB stick of Windows 8.1 Pro and it worked fine.
    Thanks for the guide !

  12. I went through the directions and they worked great! Thanks very much for posting easy to understand and easy to do strategy!

  13. It’s not working on my pc installed windows 8.1 while I’m trying to create Windows 8.1 lighter version bootable usb

    I’m using SanDisk 8 gb pen drive.

    Any suggestions…!

  14. To create a bootable USB T. drive, I suppose you would need to do it from a PC with windows 8.1 installed. My frustration lies in being unable to install/read Windows 8.1 DVD.

  15. At the end of burning (99%) it says it “Could not burn the files.”

    Any idea why this is happening? It’s a good ISO I believe.

  16. when i click begin copying then message box will appear with no enough space in USB so what can i do in that case?

  17. dude i had installed usb/dvd and i proceed as ur tutorial but its showing that all the files r copied succesfully but we are unable to run the bootsect plz say how to fix it

  18. Nice tutorial.
    One thing to notice: If the process fails or the iso is not working on the usb.
    Try to disable “Real time protection” (This is how it is called in Avira AntiVir) of your virus protection software before starting the process.
    Some antivirus software may do weird things if it sees an autorun-file…

  19. Hii Srinu,

    Thanks a lot for sharing this helpful article with us. Finally, my problem of creating Windows 8.1 USB Pendrive got solved. And all credit goes to you for sharing this detailed article.

    Keep it up. It’s so informative 🙂

  20. Hey! do you know why I get this??

    Status: The burning process failed. Please check your DVD drive and the selected ISO file and try again.

  21. Hi Srinu, Question: I recently upgraded to Windows 8.1. Yesterday I created an emergency boot DVD. When I tested it today, the boot DVD showed Windows 8 boot data on it not 8.1.
    Is this normal?
