HOW TO MANUALLY CREATE A BOOTABLE USB DISK FOR WINDOWS 7 8 10 UEFI LEGACY
HOW TO MANUALLY CREATE A BOOTABLE USB DISK FOR WINDOWS 7 8 10 UEFI LEGACY

Here is a tutorial on how to create a bootbale usb removable disk or flash for Windows 7, 8 or 10.
If you think an ISO file is a document for International Organization for Standardization, please stop reading here. :D
The UEFI substage is for those installing in the modern UEFI 64 bit systems, while the Legacy mode substage is for those installing in the former/old systems with non UEFI partitions.
STAGE 1
0: backup the files in the removable storage, to avoid unnecessary data loss.
1. Goto start, type CMD or Command Prompt, rick click and run as administrator or ctrl + shift + left click / Enter.

2. In the command prompt window, type:
diskpart

3. List Disk
(Note the drive number of your USB disk)
select disk #
(where # is the disk number).

4. Type Clean
NB. This will erase all partitions and data on the USB

5. Type create partition primary
6. Type List partition
NB: If you did not skip actions 1-5, you should see only one partition here, and you can skip to 8.
Note the partition # of the partition and
7. Select Partiton #
where # is the partition #

as can be seen from the image aboove, cause I did a clean command, I have only one partition and the partition is selected by default (the * beside the partition name), so the List partition and select partition is not needed; but for those who skipped to this stage as a result of having multiple partition on their harddrive, they will see multiple partitions and can select the one they wish to format and use as bootable.
8. format fs=fat32 quick

9. active
10. assign
11. Exit

12. double click on the ISO image; or open the iso image with windows explorer (Windows 8 & above) and copy its content directly into the flash, or extract the ISO image with any of your favourite extractors and paste its content into the USB disk.

IF UEFI ENVIRONMENT
If youre installing in a UEFI environment, If its the new Windows 10, you are done already, if it is a windows 8 ISO image, continue with the additional steps below.13. if youre installing from a 64 bit environment, goto EFI/Boot directory, if there is a bootx64.efi file in there, you need not worry anymore, youre done else;
14. locate and open install.wim in sources folder
15. copy bootx64.efi to the efi/boot directory of the USB removable disk
16. rename bootx64.efi to bootx64.efi.

17. Grab a drink, youre done.
IF NON UEFI / LEGACY ENVIRONMENT
For those who want to install in a non UEFI environment but the legacy/preUEFI days mode. follow the steps instead;
13. Goto start, type CMD or Command Prompt, rick click and run as administrator or ctrl + shift + left click / Enter.
14. type x: where x is the drive letter of the mounted ISO or of your USB removable disk. e.g d:
15. type cd boot to navigate into the x: oot directory
16: type bootsect /nt60 d:
Where d: is the drive letter of your USB removable disk drive.
How to install Kali Linux Hard Disk
How to install Kali Linux Hard Disk
Kali Linux Installation Requirements

Installing Kali Linux on your computer is an easy process. First, you�ll need compatible computer hardware. Kali is supported on i386, amd64, and ARM (both armel and armhf) platforms. The hardware requirements are minimal as listed below, although better hardware will naturally provide better performance. The i386 images have a default PAE kernel, so you can run them on systems with over 4GB of RAM. Download Kali Linux and either burn the ISO to DVD, or prepare a USB stick with Kali Linux Live as the installation medium. If you do not have a DVD drive or USB port on your computer, check out the Kali Linux Network Install.
Installation Prerequisites
- A minimum of 8 GB disk space for the Kali Linux install.
- For i386 and amd64 architectures, a minimum of 512MB RAM.
- CD-DVD Drive / USB boot support
- Preparing for the Installation
Download Kali linux.
- Burn The Kali Linux ISO to DVD or Image Kali Linux Live to USB.
- Ensure that your computer is set to boot from CD / USB in your BIOS.
Kali Linux Installation Procedure
- To start your installation, boot with your chosen installation medium. You should be greeted with the Kali Boot screen. Choose either Graphical or Text-Mode install. In this example, we chose a GUI install.
- Select your preferred language and then your country location. You�ll also be prompted to configure your keyboard with the appropriate keymap.
- The installer will copy the image to your hard disk, probe your network interfaces, and then prompt you to enter a hostname for your system. In the example below, we�ve entered �kali� as our hostname.
- Enter a robust password for the root account.
- Next, set your time zone.
- The installer will now probe your disks and offer you four choices. In our example, we�re using the entire disk on our computer and not configuring LVM (logical volume manager). Experienced users can use the �Manual� partitioning method for more granular configuration options.
- Next, you�ll have one last chance to review your disk configuration before the installer makes irreversible changes. After you click Continue, the installer will go to work and you�ll have an almost finished installation.
- Configure network mirrors. Kali uses a central repository to distribute applications. You�ll need to enter any appropriate proxy information as needed. NOTE! If you select �NO� in this screen, you will NOT be able to install packages from Kali repositories.
- Next, install GRUB.
- Finally, click Continue to reboot into your new Kali installation.
Post Installation
Now that you�ve completed installing Kali Linux, it�s time to customize your system. The Kali General Use section of our site has more information and you can also find tips on how to get the most out of Kali in our User Forums.
