Note: This question is part of a series of questions that use the same set of answer choices. Each
answer choice may be used once, more than once, or not at all.
You purchase a new USB drive.
You apply a custom image of Windows to the USB drive.
You plan to modify the BIOS setting on a computer so that the computer can start from the USB drive.
You need to ensure that you can start the computer by using the USB drive.
What should you run?
A.
Add-Windows Image
B.
bcdboot.exe
C.
bcdedit.exe
D.
bootcfg.exe
E.
bootim.exe
F.
bootsect.exe
G.
diskpart.exe
H.
Expand-Windows Image
C. bcdedit
Actually, it seems BCDBOOT is the answer

Dangit, it seems like you can do it with bcdedit and bcdboot…. it’s very difficult figuring this one out.
nasty one 🙁
I would say bcdedit
“BCDEdit serves essentially the same purpose as Bootcfg.exe on earlier versions of Windows, but with two major improvements:”
https://technet.microsoft.com/nl-NL/library/cc731662.aspx
BCDEdit
/bootsequence
Specifies a one-time display order to be used for the next boot. This command is similar to the /displayorder option, except that it is used only the next time the computer starts. Afterwards, the computer reverts to the original display order.

It seems tricky…
Without BCDBoot applied first it should not appear in BCDEdit…?!
I go for C
bcdedit will use for the earlies windows versions.
bcdedit will expand bcdboot options.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bootcfg
“In computing, bootcfg is a command on Microsoft Windows NT-based operating systems which acts as a wrapper for editing the boot.ini file.[1] A similar command exists in the Recovery Console for repairing or rebuilding boot configuration files.[1]
Though NTLDR and boot.ini are no longer used to boot Windows Vista and later versions of Windows NT, they ship with the bootcfg utility regardless. This is to handle boot.ini in the case that a multi-boot configuration with previous versions of Windows exists and needs troubleshooting from within the later operating system.
Windows Vista and later versions will warn users who run bootcfg that BCDEdit is the correct command to modify its booting options.”

5- Once the copy is complete, change your focus to the USB drive ( mine is mapped as drive E: ) navigate to the Boot directory and update the boot manager using the following command from an elevated command prompt windows.
This is the part we was missing.
C:\WINDOWS\system32>e:
E:\>CD BOOT
E:\boot>BOOTSECT.EXE /NT60 D:
Target volumes will be updated with BOOTMGR compatible bootcode.
D: (\\?\Volume{75299495-0000-0000-0000-100000000000})
Successfully updated FAT32 filesystem bootcode.
Bootcode was successfully updated on all targeted volumes.
E:\boot>
so what should be the correct answer ?
Looking at most of the instructions on the internet for creating a bootable USB drive via the command prompt, they all say to use DISKPART first.

But, doing so would make no sense since you completely wipe the disk via the command “clean”. So, your applied custom image of Windows 10 would be gone.
The next step to make sure you can boot from a USB drive is via BOOTSECT.exe.

I’m going for answer F.
To create a bootable USB drive, most websites only instruct you to use DISKPART. Using diskpart doesn’t make sense in this question though, because of the fact that you use the “clean” command to clean the disk.
You just applied your custom image, so diskpart is not an option.
Step 2 of creating a bootable usb drive is utilizing bootsect.exe, answer F.
