[SOLVED] USB as System Drive

[Day.Loman]

I have group policies set to disable all removable drives, this is important to the system that I'm setting up as this system is on a medical device.

We want to put the actual software on a USB drive that's inside the box; however it needs to be labeled as a local disk, not a removable one.

Is there a way to do this?

hi, before u start, backup everything u have on that USB drive, because this process will remove all files from it.

open CMD any type diskpart then press enter, type list disk and press enter.
keep in mind (or write it down) disk number of your USB drive
then type in this order:
select disk ?, clean, create partition primary, select partition 1, active, format FS=NTFS and assign
? = your disk number
once done
put in windows install medium
type in cmd:
e: (replace e: with your drive letter for windows install medium)
cd boot
bootsect.exe /NT60 F: (replace F: with your USB drive u want to make non removable)

once u see Bootcode was successfully updated then its all done
