How to create a Hirens Boot CD 15.2 USB Disk

Hiren’s BootCD (HBCD) is a bootable CD that contains a set of tools that can help users to fix their computer if their system fails to boot. More specifically, HBCD contains hardware diagnostic programs, partition tools, data recovery utilities, antivirus tools and many other tools to fix your computer problems. I write this article because I use Hiren’s BootCD frequently to troubleshoot computer problems, specially when a computer doesn’t boot anymore due to a virus attack or due to a corrupted file system.

In this article you will find instructions on how to put Hiren’s BootCD on a USB flash drive (stick) in order to troubleshoot computer problems in the future.

The advantages of preparing a memory stick(Pendrive) with Hiren’s Boot are:

• The speed of beginning is faster than a CD.
• We can use it in PC’s that do not have optical drives
• Avoid the expense of a CD. A memory can be re-used all the times we want.
