As expected I get the message:
"Die Startdateien wurder erfolgreich erstellt" which means "the start files were created successfully"

[Quang Nguyen]

I Do this step:
: Open up CMD from this location (or change directory to the above folder) and enter
bcdboot.exe X:\Windows /s X: /f ALL


buit I all fail:
n:\Windows\System32>bcdboot.exe n:\Windows /s n: /f ALL
Failure when attempting to copy boot files.



I tried open CMD with administrator. I use WD passport 1TB with 3 partitions with N:\ for windows to go.
any advice for me?

Hey! Yes, some advice, could you try copying the bcdboot.exe to the desktop and executing the command there? Both of you guys that is. I remember solving that problem before with another guy I was helping!

thanks for your advice.

but the problem is not solved
it's still:

C:\Users\West\Desktop>bcdboot.exe c:\users\west\desktop /s n: /f ALL
Failure when attempting to copy boot files.

my current OS is Windows 7. is there the problem?

Haha ok yes there is a major problem there bro! the C:\users\west\desktop needs to change to the USB's Windows folder. For example if the USB was drive F:\ then it would be

bcdboot.exe F:\Windows /s F: /f ALL

So in your case, if it bcdboot.exe was on your desktop and you had CMD elevated at Admin you would type

C:\Users\West\Desktop\bcdboot.exe F:\Windows /s F: /f ALL

Hope this helps! Let me know if it fixes it!

I'm having problems with the step 13:

Open up CMD from this location (or change directory to the above folder) and enter
bcdboot.exe X:\Windows /s X: /f ALL
where "X" is your Windows To Go drive letter

So, as said, I went to the F:\Windows\System32 (F:\ is my windows to go usb drive), searched for the CMD file and as I tried to open it an error ocurred:

Quote

F:\Windows\System32\cdm.exe is not a WIN32 valid application

Can anyone please help me?

PS: I'm using the iso from WIndows 8 enterprise edition, I think.

Hey bro! First off you are not starting CMD off the Live install, just start it off your PC by going to explorer-> file -> open command prompt-> open command prompt as admin

Hope that helps! Let me know how you go!

C:\Users\Razoric\DesktopC:\Users\Razoric\DesktopC:\Users\Razoric\DesktopC:\Users\Razoric\DesktopC:\Users\Razoric\DesktopIm having a problem with bcdboot. This is my error:

Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]
Copyright © 2009 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

C:\Windows\system32>bcdboot.exe J:\windows /s J: /f ALL

Bcdboot - Bcd boot file creation and repair tool.

The bcdboot.exe command-line tool is used to copy critical boot files to the
system partition and to create a new system BCD store.

bcdboot <source> [/l <locale>] [/s <volume-letter>] [/v]
[/m [{OS Loader ID}]]

source Specifies the location of the windows system root.

/l Specifies an optional locale parameter to use when
initializing the BCD store. The default is US English.

/s Specifies an optional volume letter parameter to designate
the target system partition where boot environment files are

copied. The default is the system partition identified by
the firmware.

/v Enables verbose mode.

/m If an OS loader GUID is provided, this option merges the
given loader object with the system template to produce a
bootable entry. Otherwise, only global objects are merged.


Examples: bcdboot c:\windows /l en-us
bcdboot c:\windows /s h:
bcdboot c:\windows /m {d58d10c6-df53-11dc-878f-00064f4f4e08}

i also tried C:\Users\Razoric\Desktop\bcdboot.exe J:\Windows /s J: /f ALL

What am i doing wrong? It's like ive left something out?

[Khennett E Chan]

i did everything in the instructions perfectly. i also manage doing the cmd part. but the problem is when im trying it, when restarted the computer on boot it says error loading operating, its stuck there. i did some research and some forum said its because of lack of space. im using a 8gb flash drive but you said that an 8 gb would work. please help

I got this error:

I'm so sorry for being such a trouble.
