PHASE 1 - CREATING ISO FILE
ISO IMAGE
 An archive file of an optical disc, a type of disk image composed of the data contents
from every written sector on an optical disc, including the optical disc file system
 The files usually have a file extension of .iso
 The name ISO is taken from the ISO 9660 file system used with CD-ROM media, but
what is known as an ISO image might also contain a UDF (ISO/IEC 13346) file system
(commonly used by DVDs and Blu-ray Discs)
 ISO images can be produced from optical discs by disk imaging software, or from a
collection of files by optical disc authoring software, or from a different disk image
file using conversion
 i.e. PowerISO, UltraISO, AVSDisc Creator, Daemon Tools Lite, WinCDEmu, PISMOFile
Mount, StarBurn, VirtualClone Drive, Phantom CD, MagicDisc, LC ISO Creator
How to Use PowerISO as ISO Creator?
A. Create iso file using the main program
1. Run PowerISO.
2. Click the "Add" button on toolbar to add files and folders. You can also directly drag
files and folders from Windows Explorer to PowerISO window. Another method to
add files is using the system clipboard. You can select files and folders in Windows
Explorer, hit "CTRL-C" to copy them to clipboard, then go to PowerISO window, and
hit "CTRL-V" to paste selected files and folders to current compilation.
3. Choose the menu "Action > New Folder" to create a new folder.
4. Choose the menu "Action > Change Label" to change the default label.
5. Choose the menu "File > Properties" to set the iso file properties.
6. After you have added all files and folders and made all necessary changes, click the
"Save" button on toolbar, or choose the "File > Save" menu to save the iso file.

B. Create iso file using the shell context menu:
1. Open "My Computer" and select the files and folders which you want to add to iso
file.
2. Right-click on the files selected, the shell context menu will popup.
3. Choose the menu "Add to xxxxx.iso".
4. PowerISO main program will start to run. It will automatically add all files and folders
selected to the current compilation, then save the iso file with the specified name.
(Notes: The default image type for saving is DAA, you can change it to ISO format in
PowerISO configuration dialog.)
Create iso file using the drag and drop
1. Run PowerISO.
2. Open "My Computer" and select the files which you want to add to iso file.
3. Drag all files and folders selected to the PowerISO window.
4. (Notes: You can also add files and folders using system clipboard.)

5. Click the "Save" button to save the iso file.

PHASE 2 – CREATING BOOTABLE DISC
Rufus
 a tool for Windows that handles a lot of work formatting USB drives and making
them bootable
 it can burn most ISO files to USB very efficiently
 Features include burns any Windows ISO (XP, 7 or 8), burns any Linux-based ISO
(ArchLinux, Ubuntu, Knoppix, etc); burns a number of handy ISOs (Hiren's Boot CD,
FreeDOS, BartPE, Ultimate Boot CD); handles UEFI as well as legacy booting; handles
GPT as well as MBR partition tables
 Requirements: Rufus 1.4.9 or higher; Apple (or PC) running Windows XP or later
(preferably Windows 7+); Rufus application; ISO (supported operating systems);
and8 GB USB flash drive (minimum recommended)
Create a bootable USB drive with Rufus
1. Rufus requires an account with admin access in order to make the necessary changes
to hardware. After authenticating, insert the USB flash drive and launch Rufus. It will
detect the drive almost immediately. Since Rufus can handle various partition
schemes and file structures, ensure that the correct settings are set that match the
UFD you're going to build.
2. Click the optical drive button next to the Create a bootable disk using checkbox, and
you'll be prompted to search for the ISO image to use.

3. When using ISO images, Rufus will automatically modify the settings to best match it.
Once everything is set correctly, click the Start button to begin the process. You'll be
prompted with a warning that all data on the UFD will be destroyed. Click OK to
proceed with the creation process
4. Depending on the ISO image size, the process may take several minutes to complete.
For the log readout of each step in the process, click the Log button to open a side
window and save the output details

5. The longest part of the entire process is the file copy portion. This is typically the last
step and varies depending on file size/number of files to copy
6. When complete, double-check the external drive to verify the files were copied over

PHASE 3 – CONFIGURING THE BOOT SEQUENCE OF COMPUTER OR LAPTOP BIOS
BIOS
 BIOS (Basic Input Output Subsystem)
 is a programmable chip that controls how information is passed to various devices in
the computer system
 BIOS settings allow the user to run a boot sequence from a floppy drive, a hard drive,
a CD-ROM drive or an external device.
 The first device in the order list has the first boot priority
 For example, to boot from a CD-ROM drive instead of a hard drive, place the CD-
ROM drive ahead of the hard drive in priority
Setting Boot Priority for a USB Device
1. Plug the device into a USB Port
2. Start the computer and press ESC, F1, F2, F8 or F10 during the initial startup screen.
Depending on the BIOS manufacturer, a menu may appear.
3. Choose to enter BIOS setup. The BIOS setup utility page appears.
4. Use the arrow keys to select the BOOT tab. System devices appear in order of
priority.
5. To give a CD or DVD drive boot sequence priority over the hard drive, move it to the
first position in the list.
6. To give a USB device boot sequence priority over the hard drive, do the following:
o Move the hard drive device to the top of the boot sequence list.
o Expand the hard drive device to display all hard drives.
o Move the USB device to the top of the list of hard drives.
7. Save and exit the BIOS setup utility.
8. The computer will restart with the changed settings.

PHASE 4 - PARTITIONING THE HARD DISK OR DISK DRIVE
Disk Partitioning or Disc Slicing
 The creation of one or more regions on a hard disk or other secondary storage, so
that an operating system can manage information in each region separately
 Partitioning is typically the first step of preparing a newly manufactured disk, before
any files or directories have been created.
 The disk stores the information about the partitions' locations and sizes in an area
known as the partition table that the operating system reads before any other part
of the disk.
 Each partition then appears in the operating system as a distinct "logical" disk that
uses part of the actual disk.
 When a hard drive is installed in a computer, it must be partitioned before you can
format and use it.
 Partitioning a drive is when you divide the total storage of a drive into different
pieces. These pieces are called partitions.
 Once a partition is created, it can then be formatted so that it can be used on a
computer.
Creating a Partition during Windows Installation
1. Start Windows 7 installation, after passing the first initial screens, you will get to
the screen where you are asked which type of installation you want to perform.
2. Click on “Custom (advanced)”, as this is a fresh installation of Windows 7.

3. Pick option #2 to create the partition exactly as you want it
4. Create a new partition click “New”. In the “Size” box, enter the size for the new
partition. When done, click “Apply”.
The setup program will let you know that it will create an additional
partition on that drive. That partition will be, by default, hidden, and contain the
necessary files to boot the computer. This partition will consume 100 MB of disk
space.
Note: Actually, even if you do not manually create the partition by using
this procedure Windows will still create this partition. However, since you did

manually create the partition, Windows will tell you that another partition will
also be created.
5. Press “Format” to format the new partition. You’ll be warned that all data will be
deleted. That should pose no issue because the partition was just created, and it
is blank.
6. Installation will now commence as usual.

PHASE 5 – INSTALLING MICROSOFT WINDOWS OPERATING SYSTEM
Planning the Installation
Take into consideration the things you should do when planning for Windows
installation:
 Check System Requirements
 Check Hardware and Software Compatibility
 Determine Disk Partitioning Options
 Complete a Pre-Installation Checklist
Choose whether 32-bit or 64-bit Version
 Windows installation disc package includes both 32-bit and 64-bit versions
 Basically, the 64-bit version of Windows handles large amounts of random access
memory (RAM) more effectively than a 32-bit system
 Using Windows on a computer with more than 3 GB or RAM, it is strongly suggest to
use the 64-bit version
Type of Windows Installation
1. Upgrade (In-place upgrade) – This option replaces your current version of Windows
with Windows, and keeps your files, settings, and programs in place on your
computer.
2. Custom (“fresh” installation) – This option replaces your current version of Windows
with Windows, but doesn’t preserve your files, settings, and programs. It’s
sometimes referred to as a clean installation for that reason.
Installing Microsoft Windows
1. Beginning the installation process

2. Starting Windows screen will appear.
3. The installation process
Click “Next” unless you want to change some regional settings for the installation
process.
4. Click install now
5. Next, accept the license terms and click on “Next”

6. The setup process will now begin to copy files from the installation media to the hard
disk.
