Is there any way to create a bootable USB (not turn your android device into a bootable USB), with an OTG USB stick through android?
I do not have a laptop to do this on, as the one I need (the one i need to bootable USB for, and the one i need to fix)no longer has an OS installed nor a CD drive. So any help would be much appreciated.
I am aware of the app to turn your android device into a bootable USB, but that does not work in my case.
Answer
Based on the discussions with OP, he has
Broken Win 10 machine, unable to get into OS
Rooted Android
He wants to
Extract Data from the Win machine
Install OS
Solution
DriveDroid allows you to boot your PC from ISO/IMG files stored on your phone. This is ideal for trying Linux distributions or always having a rescue-system on the go... without the need to burn different CDs or USB pendrives
From the developers XDA thread, download Hiren's boot CD (for windows) - link in OP into the Android device
Enter BIOS of your machine and set the Boot order to boot from USB as first choice ( key combination would be based on the machine and Google can help)
Connect Android to device and boot, device will recognised and a temporary Win environment Win XP / 7 can be created. Connect an external drive and transfer files to drive
Above based on my personal experience in getting data out of dead Win XP
Installing new OS
In my case, CD was working so I installed OS again
One of the reviews ( by Steffen Mossefin) claims he was able to do that using this app.
Edit:: Help section of app suggests ways of installing windows using this app by creating bootable USB drives, which of course need access to another PC - not tried this
