History of Creating Bootable device
using CMD
BOOTABLE DEVICE:
A boot device is any piece of hardware that can read or contains the files required for a computer to
start. For example, a hard drive, floppy disk drive, CD-Rom drive, and USB jump drive are all
cosidred bootable devices. However, unless the necessary boot files are stored on the drive, diskette,
or disc, the computer cannot boot from that device.

CMD:

Command line history was added to unix in bill joy’s C shell of 1978; joy took inspiration from an
earlier implementation in interslip. It quickly became popular because it made the C shell fast and
easy to use. History has since became a standard feature in other shells, including ksh, bash and
Microsoft’s cmd.exe. History addressed two important scenarios
Advantage:
∙ It faster than the other types of user interfaces
∙Faster data transfer in CLI.
∙Memory (RAM) is used lesser than GUI.
∙It cheaper to use as a lesser resolution screen can be
used.
∙lesser CPU processing time is needed

·It does not need Windows to run


Disadvantages:
· Without the known commands, you
cannot work on the CLI.
· A lot of commands have to be learned to
use this interface.
· One needs to be very specific and
careful when typing the commands. Even
a single spelling mistake may lead to
instruction failure.
· There are no images and graphics on the
screen.
∙Types of CMD
 
Assoc
Most files in Windows are associated with a specific program that is assigned to open the file by
default.

Cipher
Deleting files on a mechanical hard drive doesn’t really delete them at all.

Driverquery
Drivers remain among the most important software installed on a PC.

File Compare
You can use this command to identify differences in text between two files.

Ipconfig
This command relays the IP address that your computer is currently using.

Netstat
Entering the command “netstat -an” will provide you with a list of currently open ports and related
IP addresses.
Ping
Sometimes, you need to know whether or not packets are making it to a specific networked device. 

PathPing
This is a more advanced version of ping that’s useful if there are multiple routers between your PC
and the device you’re testing.

 Tracert
The “tracert” command is similar to pathping. Once again, type “tracert” followed by the IP address
or domain you’d like to trace.

Powercfg
Powercfg is a very powerful command for managing and tracking how your computer uses energy.

 Shutdown
Windows 8 introduced the shutdown command that—you guessed it!—shuts down your computer.

 Systeminfo
This command will give you a detailed configuration overview of your computer.
System File Checker
System File Checker is an automatic scan and repair tool that focuses on Windows system
files.

Tasklist
You can use the “tasklist” command to provide a current list of all tasks running on your PC.

Taskkill
Tasks that appear in the “tasklist” command will have an executable and process ID (a four- or
five-digit number) associated with them.
Function Of Bootable device and CMD

Bootable device:
Alternatively referred to as a startup disk or boot disk, a bootable disk contains special files required for the
computer to boot into an operating system. If the bootable disk is removable media (e.g., floppy diskette or CD-
ROM), it bypasses the hard drive, depending on the settings in the BIOS. This diskette is most often used to 
troubleshoot the computer or allow the user to copy files when a computer is down.

CMD
Command Prompt is a command line interpreter application available in most Windows operating systems. It's
used to execute entered commands. Most of those commands automate tasks via scripts and batch files, perform
advanced administrative functions, and troubleshoot or solve certain kinds of Windows issues.
Conclusion of Bootable device and CMD

BOOTABLE DEVICE:
 A running system. Most operating systems are designed as if they’ve been running
forever. The boot process sets up the OS as if it were already running, and once this
is done, it hands control over to the OS, which has no awareness of the boot and
thinks it has always existed. Often the boot process pretends to be just any old
process, and once the boot is completed and the OS is running, the boot process
terminates normally, like any other process, and the OS is none the wiser.
CMD:
You now know enough Command Prompt to take the next step towards more of your
goals and dreams. Continue exploring command line arguments and reading
command line program documentation. Search online for more resources when
uncertain. If you begin programming, I highly recommend learning to compile or
run your programs with Command Prompt. You might find yourself writing your
own commands or Command Prompt scripts some day
