Creating a usb pendrive using command prompt is not hard, it is one of the most common ways to create a bootable usb.
This method does not work if your operating sistem is windows xp or windows 8 , you cannot select the primary partition in comand prompt.

You just need to follow these simple steps:

First step is to obtain the windows files from somewhere and save them to a folder in your pc. You can rip a windows dvd , or if you have the iso image file you can open it with magic disc or daemon tools or even winrar , and you need to copy the whole content to a folder anywhere in your pc , you just need to make sure you know where it is located.

Make sure your usb stick is inserted, go to start search cmd , right click the file and select run as administrator. The command prompt will appear, now you need to write the following comands:

diskpart

list disk

select disk 1

clean

create partition primary

select partition 1

active

format fs=ntfs

assign

exit

2. Now you have to extract/copy iso file into this flashdrive.
