67 For Educators
68
69 Learning is a constant process. Amidst inevitable circumstances, Department of
70 Education extends its resources and looks for varied ways to cater your needs and to adapt
71 to the new system of Education as a fortress of Learning Continuity Plan. One of the probable
72 solutions is the use of Teacher-Made Educational Modules in teaching.
73
74 You are reading the TLE – Computer Systems Servicing 10 Quarter 1 Alternative
75 Delivery Mode (ADM) Module on Create Bootable Devices.
76
77 The creation of this module is a combined effort of competent educators from different
78 levels and various schools of Department of Education Cebu Province. In addition, this module
79 is meticulously planned, organized, checked, and verified by knowledgeable educators to
80 assist you in imparting the lessons to the learners while considering the physical, social and
81 economic restraints in teaching process.
82
83 The use of Teacher-Made Educational Module aims to surpass the challenges of
84 teaching in a new normal education set-up. Through this module, the students are given
85 independent learning activities, which embodies in the Most Essential Learning Competencies
86 based from the K-12 Curriculum Competencies, to work on in accordance to their capability,
87 efficiency and time. Thus, helping the learners acquire the prerequisite 21 st Century skills
88 needed with emphasis on utmost effort in considering the whole well-being of the learners.

 WHAT IS IT

INTRODUCTION

Boot
- to load the first piece of software that starts a computer. Because the
operating system is essential for running all other programs, it is usually the first piece
of software loaded during the boot process. Storage Media is a device for recording
(storing) information (data).

Bootable Media/ Bootable Device

- is a physical media (CD, DVD, USB flash drive or other removable media
supported by a machine BIOS as a boot device) that boots on any PC-compatible
machine.

Bootable media is most often used to:

• recover an operating system that cannot start
• access and back up the data that has survived in a corrupted system
• back up sector-by-sector a disk with an unsupported file system
• hardware or software troubleshooting

The process of booting

The term boot comes from the idea of lifting oneself by one's own bootstraps:
the computer contains a tiny program (bootstrap loader) which will load and run a
program found on a boot device.

Warm Boot vs. Cold Boot

• Cold Boot
To perform a cold boot (also called a "hard boot") means to start up a computer
that is turned off. It is typically performed by pressing the power button on the
computer.

• Warm Boot
To perform warm boot (also called a "soft boot") means to restart a computer.
It is typically initiated from the operating system, rather than pressing a button on the
computer itself.

CREATE WINDOWS INSTALLER USING FLASH DRIVE

Small portable computing devices such as Netbooks and MIDs (Mobile Internet
Devices) offer great mobility, but they lack optical drives (CD/DVD). An optical drive is
important when you need to install software from a CD or DVD. An external optical
drive would work, but you may not want to lug it around with you. So, what is the
solution? Use a USB flash drive as a bootable installation media.

5
 In creating a bootable USB flash drive, you can use either diskpart or rufus. We
will try first the diskpart.

What You Need:

1. A USB flash drive with good storage capacity; preferably 8GB or more.
2. Access to a computer running Windows Vista or Windows 7.
3. A CD or DVD containing software you want to download.

Note: Insert a USB flash drive into a running computer.

Procedure
1. Click Start > All Programs > Accessories > Right click on Command Prompt > Run
as Administrator.

2. Type ‘diskpart' and press Enter to start the built in Windows disk partitioning utility

3. Type 'list disk' and press Enter. Identify your USB Flash drive and make a note of
the disk number. Here in this example, My USB flash drive is Disk 2.

Note: Careful about choosing correct disk index number, failure to select right disk
may result to permanent deletion of data that may lead to catastrophic event.

6
 4. Type 'select disk 2' and press Enter.

5. Type ‘clean’ and press Enter. The clean command will remove partitions or volume
formatting from the selected disk by zeroing sectors.

6. Now to create a partition, type 'create partition primary’ and press Enter.

7. Type 'select partition 1', and press the Enter key

8. Type ‘active’ and hit the Enter Key.

9. To format the partition using FAT32 file system, type ‘format fs=fat32 quick’ and
press the Enter key.

Important
If your server platform supports Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI), you
should format the USB flash drive as FAT32 rather than as NTFS. To format the
partition as FAT32, type format fs=fat32 quick, and then click ENTER.

7
 10. Type 'assign' and press the Enter key to assign a drive letter to your USB flash
drive.

11. Type exit to exit the diskpart utility.

Note: Your USB flash drive is now ready to be used as an installation media. All you need to
do is copy the entire contents of the Operating System (DVD) to your newly prepared USB
flash drive.
12. Copy the data file from your CD/DVD ROM.

13. Paste the data file into your flash drive.

8
 Another way to create a bootable USB flash drive is using a RUFUS.

Rufus is a utility that helps format and create bootable USB flash drives, such as
USB keys/pen drives, memory sticks, etc.

It can be especially useful for cases where:

● You need to create USB installation media from bootable ISOs (Windows, Linux,
UEFI, etc.)
● You need to work on a system that does not have an OS installed
● You need to flash a BIOS or other firmware from DOS
● You want to run a low-level utility

To create a bootable USB drive from a downloaded ISO file, we use a free software
called RUFUS and we need an empty USB flash drive with minimum size of 8 GB in order to
properly transfer your ISO image file on it.

Note: Insert a USB flash drive into a running computer

1. Download the latest RUFUS program file from here http://rufus.ie/

2. Run RUFUS on your Windows PC.

You should get the

following screen
showing the main
menu.

9
3. Select your ISO image file to be transferred on your USB flash drive, as shown
below in the red rectangle.

4. Then that’s it, you can press the “Start” button to begin the transfer.

5. At the end of the installation, your USB flash drive is ready to use.

Your bootable
USB flash drive is
ready to use. You
can now click the
CLOSE button to
exit.

10
