Clean Install of Windows directly from the hard drive


You want to install Windows but you can’t use a DVD or an USB for whatever reason?

This tutorial will show you a method that will allow you to boot and install Windows directly from the hard disk drive (HDD).

Note: This guide only works for Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8/8.1 OS.


Part 1: Preparing the HDD



  • If there is no Windows currently installed on the HDD then connect the HDD to a another working computer (with Windows installed)


  • Create a 4GB primary partition.


  • Format the 4GB partition with NTFS file system.


  • Assign a drive letter to that new partition.


  • Copy the content of the Windows 7 Setup DVD to the 4GB partition.





If you need more details or information on how to proceed, you can visit Aura's tutorial on the Windows Disk Management Utility.

[The Brotherhood] Windows Disk Management Utility by Aurа

Part 2: Making the HD bootable
  • Open the Command Prompt as a Admininistrator, type cmd.exe into the Start Menu search box, right click on cmd.exe, then select “Run as administrator”.


  • Enter the commants below, while replacing X with the letter assigned to the partition you created earlier on your HDD.


    diskpart

    list disk

    select disk X

    list partition

    select partition X

    active

    exit



    (See picture for example)

  • Within the Command Prompt type the commands below




X:\boot\bootsect.exe /nt60 Y:




Replace the X: drive letter with the drive letter of the optical CD/DVD-ROM where the Windows Setup DVD is inserted.

Replace the Y: drive letter with the drive letter of the 4GB partition you created.

Part 3: Booting and installing Windows

Make sure that the BIOS is configured to boot from the hard disk drive (HDD).

If you did everything correctly, you should see “Windows is loading files ...” and a progress bar.

You can now install Windows as usual. You can refer to Aura's tutorial on how to install Windows 7 if you're not sure of how to proceed.

[The Brotherhood] How to install Windows 7 from a CD/DVD or USB flash drive by Aurа

Part 4: Delete the 4GB partition

You have to quickly edit the boot menu once Windows is installed.
  • In Windows, press the Windows Key + R keys;


  • Type msconfig, and click on OK;


  • Click on the Boot tab at the top;


  • Click 'Windows Setup (\windows)', and click on the Delete button;


  • Click OK;

  • Click on 'Exit without restart';



If the 4GB partition is designed as a System partition then in this situation you cannot delete that 4GB partition.

Follow the guide below to delete the 4GB partition if you were to find yourself in a such situation.

Note: Only follow the guide below if the 4GB partition is designed as a System partition.
  • Mark the C: partition as an active partition from the Disk Management Utility;

  • Open the Command Prompt as a Administrator and type:

    bcdboot C:\windows



  • Restart your computer;



Note: If the Bcdboot command is missing from Windows Vista, I have uploaded the Bcdboot.exe file for Windows Vista users to download.

Bcdboot.7z download url link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/e0tqc5h3ohgkg7...ot.7z?dl=0

Bcdboot.7z password: Freebooter

Bcdboot.7z MD5: CA532DFD36369D30D717E137D2FEC466

Bcdboot.exe MD5: 8B4EC4915B016E65EBE76D91A0B43577

Bcdboot.exe file virustotal scan results: https://www.virustotal.com/tr/file/bed30...419729564/

Note: Make sure to change the Command Prompt directory path to Bcdboot.exe file stored directory path with the cd command.

And lastly, delete the 4GB partition this will free up 4GB which you can extend to the C: partition with the "MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition" software.
  • Within MiniTool Partition Wizard select the 4GB partition;


  • From the left pane click on “Delete Partition”;


  • Click on the OK button and click on Apply in the toolbar;


  • Within MiniTool Partition Wizard select the C: partition and click on "Move/Resize" to enter the next interface;


  • Increase the C: partition by dragging the right arrow of the scrollbar to the right or directly entering accurate values in the textboxes below;

    After

  • After you're done with the settings, click on the "OK" button;


  • Click on Apply in the toolbar;


  • Click on the “Restart Now” button on the Notice dialog box;




If you have any questions, or you don't understand a point, please tell me and I'll gladly answer your questions.

Nice, nice, well written. Perhaps you could expand on to OS recovery, perhaps even imaging if you someone who rebuilds their own machine frequently or buils a lot of PC's.

Stop don't play around like that your going to cause trouble for yourself do not execute command you don't understand specially Diskpart command this command can cause damage that cannot be revert back the changes you can make your computer un-bootable so next time ask what you don't understand then wait for my response before doing anything.

(Jul 30, 2015 08:08 PM)Devixx Wrote:  I'm a little confused..

So on the command Prompt part it says "replacing X with the letter assigned to the partition" but in your picture you used numbers? I chose "K" and I tried putting K but nothing happened, I put 0 and it worked.. I'm confused? Then on the Partition List thing the one I created showed up as Partition 0, and when I put that it wouldn't work?

Edit: I suppose I figured it out, but now it;s telling me the partition isn't a "Primary or Logical Volume"?
When selecting partition or disk you will use assigned number to that object. I don't know which command you are talking about can you tell me which command its your having problem understanding.

You have to create primary partition X: partition is Logical partition. An extended partition is a container that can hold one or more logical drives. Logical drives function like primary partitions except that they cannot be used to start an operating system.
