A program that doesn't have any configuration options is also a portable application
.A portable application (portable app), sometimes also called standalone, is a program designed to
read and write its configuration settings into an accessible folder in the computer, usually the folder
where the portable application can be found. This makes it easier to transfer the program with the
user's preferences and data between different computers (Wikipedia contributors, 2020)
Like any application, portable applications must be compatible with the computer system
hardware and operating system. If we are trying to install Windows Operating System on a laptop that
does not have a DVD drive, or we want a portable installation tool that we can use on a lot of
computers, creating a bootable USB Windows installation drive may be the answer we are looking
for (Wikipedia contributors, 2020) .
|Installers Preparation|
An installer is a piece of software that is used to install software p
Installers simplify the process of installing software by providing the user
with the ability to select the desired options (Computer Hope, 2017).
 What is an Installer? 
Source: https://www.computerhope.com/jargon/i/installer.htm
According to ServerWatch Staff, in their originally published online article in their
website ServerWatch Tutorials, the following are the Different Types of Software Installation.
Media - based software installation - This is the most common type of installation. It will
take all of the files that make up your software and place them onto a span of disks. It will
contain some form of an executable to call the process as well.
Web - based software installation - This is a pretty cool way to deploy software that has been
picking up popularity in the web. In a web-based, it will do an integrity check and only
download the files that your system needs. This saves you time in downloading. The
problems with this type of installation come up when you introduce firewalls and strict
security.
Single exe installation - This is one that most of us are familiar with, the install is a self-
compressed executable file that you run which will extract itself and contains all of the files
needed to run your installation as well as the explanation file which tells the software where to
load and what changes to make. .
Windows Installer installation - With the introduction of Windows 2000 into our lives came
the introduction of the Windows Installer service, which resides on a client machine and runs
your installations for you given that you provide the correct information

The RUFUS Application
Rufus is a utility that helps format and create bootable USB flash drives, such as USB
keys/pendrives, memory sticks, etc. Rufus is a free utility created by Pete Batard for Microsoft
Windows that creates bootable USB flash drives from ISO image files. Rufus supports Windows
versions 7 and later.
Requirements
 Rufus Application
 Laptop or Desktop Computer
 Windows 7 OS / Windows Server 2008 r2 disk images ISO files
 8 GB USB flash drive (minimum recommended)
Steps in Creating a Bootable Device
 Portable Bootable Device 
A boot device is any piece of hardware that can read or conta
computer to start. For example, a hard drive, floppy disk drive, CD
and USB jump drive are all considered bootable devices. However,
files are stored on the drive, diskette, or disc, the computer cann

Insert your flash drive. Make sure that it is
being read by your device
Run the Rufus Application and check if your
flash drive is already recognized. Notice that

An ISO file, often called an ISO image, is a single file that's a perfect representation of an
entire CD, DVD, or BD. The entire contents of a disc can be precisely duplicated in a single ISO
file. An ISO file works in much the same way. The file itself is no good unless it can be opened,
assembled, and used (Fisher, 2020).

System. For now. Let us have first an overview of OS Installation.
Installing Windows usually sound frightening task for beginners. That’s fine. Nothing to
worry about because everything will be made easy for you. If you are planning to install Windows
Operating Systems, no need for you to run to other experts or computer technicians because I am
telling you now that you can do this task all
by yourself!
According to Tim Fisher in his online article “What Is an ISO File?”, he mentioned the
following concepts related to Installation of Operating Systems. These are as follows:
 To install the operating system on the computer using a CD, DVD or USB Flash
Drive you need to configure your computer to boot from the CD, DVD or USB Flash
Drive. You can change the boot sequence in your BIOS setup, and setting the CD,
DVD or USB Flash Drive to be the first boot device
 Some computers may also allow you to access the boot sequence directly at
computer start up, without entering the BIOS, by pressing a specific key on the
keyboard. The key to press differs for each computer, but is often either the Delete
key or one of the function keys at the top
 If the operating system software came on a USB flash drive, you need to configure
the computer to boot to a USB device as the first boot device.
 Once the computer is configured to boot to the proper device, the computer should
load the operating system installation program and guide you through the install
process.
 You will be asked questions along the way for configuration of basic settings, like
date and time, user account name, and if you want to enable automatic operating
system updates. Go through the installation steps, answering questions and
selecting the preferred options.

NOTE
If you are installing a newer version of an operating system that is already on your
computer, the installation process should ask if you want to upgrade. If you do not want to install
the operating system as an upgrade, you can choose the option to erase the current operating
system start fresh. (Fisher, 2020)

VI. Practice Tasks
Practice Task 1: Three Minute Paper: A Writing Activity
Probable Answers:
A bootable device could be a an internal Hard Disk Drive or other Secondary Storage
Devices like CD, DVD and floppy and USB flash drives. Before they become a bootable device, they
have to undergo the process and store necessary data in order for the computer to recognize them as a
bootable device. We should take note that if the operating system software came on a USB flash
drive, you need to configure the computer to boot to a USB device as the first boot device. Same
concept applies to the rest of the storage devices mentioned above.
Practice Task 2: Step on It! The Ladder of Learning
Step 1: I have to insert my flash drive into the USB port and make sure that it is being read by the
computer so that the Rufus Application would be able to recognize it as well.
Step 2: I can now launch the Rufus Application and check if it has detected my USB flash drive.
Step 3 : I will press “SELECT” button in the right side and navigate my folders to see where my
Windows OS ISO file has been saved.
Step 4 : I have to check it once more to see if I am picking the correct Windows OS ISO file.
Step 5 : If the ISO file has appeared in the Boot Selection, I can now proceed to the next step and
click the “START” button.
Step 6: I will allow the process to continue and wait for the Progress bar to initiate.
Step 7 : I will wait for the progress bar to finish until the “READY” status has appeared. I will press
on CLOSE to continue.

1. Based on what was stated in the scenario, I can conclude the following:
 The USB flash drive does not meet the minimum requirement for the storage capacity
 The ISO files are corrupted before the execution of the process
 Either the USB flash drive or the computer is infected with virus
2. To resolve the issue, I can troubleshoot these by means of the following:
 I can replace my USB device and try a new one.
 I will recopy and transfer my ISO file once again.
 I can try using a different computer for me to check if the computer is infected with virus.
3. As a CSS student, these concepts have huge impact to me because these would all contribute to the
skills that I will acquire in the future.
B.
1. A device driver is a computer program that operates or controls a particular type of device that is
attached to a computer.
2. The main purpose of device drivers is to provide abstraction by acting as a translator between
a hardware device and the applications or operating systems that use it. Programmers can write
higher-level application code independently of whatever specific hardware the end-user is using.
