How to Reinstall the PE System Using a USB Flash Stick?

 

The PE system (Windows Preinstallation Environment) is basically a lightweight version of Windows that's super handy for installing, fixing, or maintaining your system. Making a PE boot disk on a USB drive makes it really easy to reinstall your OS. Let's break down the steps!

 

Step 1: Get Everything Ready

 

   ● Prep Your USB Drive: Grab a USB flash drive with at least 8GB—USB 3.0 is best since it speeds things up. Just remember, all data on this drive will be wiped when you create the boot disk, so make sure to back up anything important first.

 

   ● Get Your PE Tool: Download and install some tools like UltraISO or Rufus for making your PE disk. Make sure you get them from their official sites to keep everything safe.

 

   ● Download System Image Files: You'll need those Windows image files (like Windows 7 or Windows 10). Check out reliable sources like MSN where they have different versions available.

 

Step 2: Create Your Bootable Disk

 

   ● Run the PE Tool: Plug in your USB stick, open up the tool you just downloaded, select your USB storage device, and start creating that bootable disk.

 

   ● Wait for It to Finish: While it's working its magic, your USB will be formatted and loaded with the PE system along with all the necessary startup files. Just hang tight until you see that it's done successfully!

 

Step 3: Get your computer ready to boot from a USB drive

 

   ● Restart your computer: Plug in the USB drive you made earlier into the computer that needs a fresh install, and then restart it.

 

   ● Access BIOS or boot menu: As soon as your computer starts up, hit the right key (like F2, F12, Del, etc.) to get into the BIOS settings or boot menu.

 

   ● Set USB drive as the first boot option: In the BIOS or boot menu, make sure to set your USB flash drive as the top priority for booting up.

 

Step 4: Install the system

 

   ● Load up PE system: After restarting, let your computer load from that USB disk into the PE system.

 

   ● Run installation tool: Once you're on the PE desktop, find and open up the installation tool. Choose your system image file and pick where you want to install it (usually that's going to be C drive).

 

   ● Start installing: Double-check everything looks good with those settings and click "Execute" to kick off the installation process. Your computer might restart a few times during this—just remember to unplug that USB after it restarts for the first time!

 

   ● Finish up installation: Hang tight while everything is installed! Eventually, you'll land on a shiny new Windows desktop.

 

By following these steps, you can easily reinstall your system using a PE system USB drive and fix any issues with your computer's operating system!
