    Unless the exe file is superior than 2gb it be supposed to be probable to immediately save it there. Copy paste from somewhere else. exe files are not installed, they are accomplish. Comprehensive programs of which an exe file is simply a part are installed. Ok if I understand you appropriately you desire to run a program from your flashdrive. Immediately install the program to your flashdrive depending on what program it is it is supposed to work.

    You do not necessitate /s if you encompass /e. Those are equally exclusive. /f immediately shows you the files. On the other hand, if several file has the hidden or system attribute set, you determine to necessitate /h as well. I am immediately not seeing how the on top of command would copy the boot sector. I was wondering, if this would be probable to utilize a hackintosh CD to place on a USB flash memory. I have been digging approximately how to get the USB to be converted into bootable, additional than I have not been capable to copy the entire of the contents of the hackintosh Cd to the USB drive.

    If your immediately frustrating to get BackTrack to boot from usb flash drive. No substance what the size why not endeavor to copy the BT and Boot directory into your usb flash drive's root and going into the boot register to hit it off the "Bootinst".bat. Subsequent to that your usb be supposed to boot mechanically as extended as you set your bios to boot from your usb. Diminutive uncomplicated and sweet. Why not try unetbootin-windows-248.exe. I locate this program extremely helpful in making dissimilar types of installation "cd`s" on a usb disk Works extremely well by means of the entire iso, img files that I have tried.
