See step 12 and 13 below.
Create Windows To Go on any edition of Windows 8:
Launch an administrative level command prompt.
Make sure that your USB Drive is plugged in and then type in diskpart and hit Enter.
List the available disks by running “list disk” and you should see your usb device.
Select your USB drive by typing “select disk #” and hit Enter. For example, “select disk 3”.
Clean the partitions on the disk by typing “clean” and hit Enter.
Now create the boot partition by running the following command:create partition primary
size=350
Now create the OS partition by running the following command to create a partition taking up
all remaining space:create partition primary
The boot partition needs to be formatted, configured and assigned a drive letter, run the
following commands:select partition 1format fs=fat32 quickactiveassign letter=b(if the b drive
letter is already in use on your PC, substitute a different letter and replace b with your letter
throughout the rest of this guide)
The same must be done for the OS partition, run the following different commands:select
partition 2format fs=ntfs quickassign letter=o(if the o drive letter is already in use on your PC,
substitute a different letter and replace o with your letter throughout the rest of this guide)
Exit Diskpart by typing Exit.
Extract the install.wim file from the \sources\ directory of the Windows 8 install ISO to
c:\wim\. On Windows 8 you can just double click an ISO to mount and then browse it.
Use DISM to deploy the Windows 8 files to the OS partition of the USB device by
running:dism /apply-image /imagefile:c:\wim\install.wim /index:1 /applydir:o:\
The boot manager needs to be installed on the boot partition with the help of the bcdboot
utility. Run the following command:o:\windows\system32\bcdboot o:\windows /f ALL /s b:
