Run Windows PE from USB Flash Drive

Useful tip that took longer to write the blog entry than do!

After trying a few methods to “burn” an ISO to USB Flash Drive I found this work using the free version of UltraISO. I wanted to boot Windows PE from USB but also wanted a method that would work for any Windows OS.

Download UltraISO trial

Burn the Windows PE ISO to a USB Flash Drive as follows:

Open the Windows PE ISO with UltraISO
Open Bootable menu option select Write Disk Image…

Select your USB Flash Drive under "Disk Drive"
Ensure Write Method USB-HDD+ selected
Select Write

All that remains is to ensure that your boot order is correctly set on your computer and your good to go.
