Follow these simple steps for your live OS Hard drive

Works with all Windows platforms from Win Vista!! But not tried on Mac or Linux (I’ll reach u soon with Mac and Linux distros!!)
Here I’m using Windows 10 ..
Don’t forget that “All data will be erased!!!”
1. Open Run
{Maybe press Win key+R or default start->search for “Run” }
Go ahead and type “DISKPART” (neglect the case since the Run is case insensitive)

Kindly wait for the “DISKPART >” to appear

2. Type command: “LIST DISK” and you may see something like this below

3. Now select the Disk you want as your OS hard Drive
Type “SELECT DISK 2” and press enter
(Here for demo I choose disk 2,) and type “CLEAN”

4. Now type “CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY”
Here “Primary” creates the same partition as that of the C:\ drive so that we can store any software too.
5. Let’s set the create partition Active
So type “ACTIVE”

6. We generally have partitions like Fat32, Fat , NTFS
So we try adding the format basically assigned as “FAT32”
So type “FORMAT FS=FAT32 QUICK”
Don’t forget to specify “QUICK”
7. Now last step “ASSIGN”
As you type command assign your Hard drive pops out in a new window!!
Points Made mistake
“Don’t forget to select the disk correctly if Disk 0 is selected the Windows restarts automatically and NO Operating System if Found appears”
“Don’t forget to put quick on“format fs=fat32 quick” if quick is not specified it takes just an hour"
”Follow the steps correctly"
In order to make a pen drive as a normal pen drive
Type “CREATE PARTITION EXTENDED” instead of “CREATE PETITION PRIMARY” to continue pen drive as a normal one!!
“NO TRICK FOR EXPANDING THE MEMORY SPACE OF ANY HARD DRIVE IS
WORKING (AS IT IS IMPOSSIBLE WITH SOFTWARE {WITH PCB IT MAY WORK
WHO KNOWS?} ) AND IF YOU TRY SO RETRIEVE YOUR PEN DRIVE OR HARD
DISK BY THIS METHOD”
