Yes, you can place a bootable ISO on a USB drive.

To do so, you have to follow the steps below:

Step 1. Connect the USB drive to the USB port on your computer.

Step 2. On the Windows start menu, look for the "cmd" program. Right-click it and choose "Run as administrator".

Step 3. Hit the enter key after typing the command "diskpart" to confirm your entry. The storage device manager is where it begins.

Step 4. Type the "list disk" command to view the available storage devices.

Step 5. Your USB can be identified by its storage capacity and by being listed as "disk 1." The "disk 0" in the system partition is often your computer, a hard or solid-state drive.

Step 6. Use the command "select disk 1" to choose it (or the corresponding "disk 2," etc.), assuming your USB has the label "disk 1."

Step 7. To remove all files from the USB, type the command "clean."

Step 8. To create the primary partition, type the command "create partition primary."

Step 9. Type the "list par" command and use the "sel par 1" command to choose the newly created primary partition.

Step 10. Use the command "active" to make the partition active.

Step 11. Use the format fs=FAT32 label="WINDOWS USB" fast override command to format the USB.

Step 12. To automatically assign a drive letter (such as "G:") to your USB, type the command "assign."

Step 13. After closing DiskPart, close the command prompt by typing "exit" once more.

Step 14. Copy the Windows ISO file to a bootable USB stick to complete the process.
