Now that your drive has been correctly formatted, you will need to make the new partition
active. This is done via a Microsoft command line tool called DiskPart. Open the command
prompt either from the Start -> All Programs -> Accessories menu, or by typing CMD into
the run dialogue. Start DiskPart by typing diskpart and pressing return. You will now need to
identify the disk number assigned to your USB drive, so type list disk to view a list of all of
the drives in your computer. In this example, the USB drive is disk 1. Select the disk by
entering select disk # where # is the disk number. Select partition 1 by entering select
partition 1, and mark it active by with active. DiskPart will confirm that this has been
successful, as demonstrated below;
The partition is now marked as active. You can now exit DiskPart or close the command
prompt.
Your USB drive is now properly prepared for being made bootable. In the next step, I will
explain how to use some third party tools to streamline the process.
