You need to exit DISKPART to manage to make bootsect, that is info that is missing here

Thanks for that, have downloaded that version. In the meantime I found another method, listed here http://kmwoley.com/blog/?p=345. I downloaded the Microsoft tool which required me to update some other utility, once done it was VERY easy to create a bootable USB pen drive from an iso image – mind you I’ve not tested it for real yet but fingers crossed

Fair comment – however your link points to the Win2k version of diskpart. So far I’ve failed to find a downloadable version of the Win7/Vista version

The XP diskpart only sees the fixed disks.

Make sure you download and point to the vista/7 version of list disk

I too have Matt’s problem. Base system is XP Pro with all automatic fixes applied to date.

Why so complicated? There is a tool from Microsoft to produce bootsticks and bootdvd.
