    1. Prepare a USB stick
    2. Copy the System Repair disk to the USB stick.

    Step 1. Prepare a USB Stick
    Insert USB stick.
    WIN | type CMD.EXE | no NOT hit Enter |
    Right-click on CMD.EXE in the resulting list | Select Run as Administrator
    Enter following Commands:
    Diskpart
    list disk
    select disk 2 (2 is an example-use the number that corresponds to the usb drive)
    detail disk (just to make sure you got the correct one)
    clean
    create partition primary
    select partition 1
    format fs=ntfs
    active
    assign
    exit
    exit

    Now the USB stick is prepared.

    2. Insert your System Repair disk
    With Windows Explorer copy everything from the disk to the usb stick

    That's it. You now have the System Repair disk on a USB.

    You will only need a 256 MB usb stick. Of course, you can use one much larger.

    If you go that small you need to use fat or fat32.

    Absolutely false.

    Before I posted I made one again.

    Remember you are putting the System Repair disk on to the USB.

    What you can do is insert a system repair disk into an optical drive and then with Windows Explorer you can see how many bytes are actually used.

    Small size USB sticks do not support NTFS format.

    The actual used space on the usb stick is: 197,914,624 bytes

    The actual used space on the usb stick is not the format type.
