Create Hiren Boot CD Bootable USB for Windows 10 system repair?
My Windows 10 PC has crashed, and I'm trying to repair it using Hiren's Boot CD. However, I’m not sure how to create a bootable USB with Hiren's Boot CD to rescue my system. I’ve heard it's a useful ...
If you’re more comfortable with Microsoft tools, to create a bootable USB from Hiren's Boot CD ISO, you can use the Windows Media Creation Tool or DiskPart. However, these tools are better suited for Windows ISOs than Hiren's BootCD. For Hiren's BootCD, Rufus is still the best option.
My Personal Tips for Success
1. Double-Check Your BIOS/UEFI Settings:
- Before booting from the USB, make sure your system is set to boot from USB and that Secure Boot is disabled if needed.
2. Use a Reliable USB Port:
- Some USB ports (especially USB 3.0) can cause issues. If the USB doesn’t boot, try a different port.
3. Keep a Backup of Your ISO:
- Store the Hiren's BootCD ISO file on your PC or cloud storage. This way, you can recreate the bootable USB if something goes wrong.
4. Label Your USB Drive:
- Once the bootable USB is created, label it clearly (e.g., “Hiren's BootCD”) so you don’t accidentally format it later.
