- Type “DISKPART”
- Type “list disk” and find the disk number of your USB Media
- Type “select disk x”, where “x” is the disk number
- Type “clean”
- Type “create primary partition”
- Type “assign letter=z” or another letter if z is occupied. If asked to format choose cancel.
- Type “active”
- Type “exit”
- Type “format z: /fs:ntfs /q”
- Type “exit”
- Launch “Deployment and Imaging Tools Environment” with administrative rights
- Type “bootsect /nt60 z:”
- Type “exit”
- Copy the contents of the MDT Media content directory to the bootable USB Media.
You can now start your MDT bare metal deployment from USB.
