How To Windows 8.1 Live USB !! Mine Everywhere !

[themrlonewolf]

Hello everyone

Just I found this , who save me and my many rigs

We know that we can use BAMT , Xubuntu , Debian .. on LiveCD and mine with it

So why we don't use the Windows 8.1 into a LiveUSB ? !

So , with this tutorial , you will be able to boot on the USBkey an get a Windows 8.1 live , where you can mine or do what you want without touching your initial HardDrive of your friend? grandma? office? :p

Why I'm making this ? Because I was tired of all drivers and all this $h!T , with cgminer and all errors 403

CONNECT ONLY 1 VIDEOCARD FIRST , shutdown and put another one etc
DONT AND NEVER INSTALL ANY AMD CATALYST DRIVERS !
Windows 8.1 will install everything alone (ADL,SDK,DRIVERS)

I've tried , Windows7,Xubuntu,Ubuntu,Debian,LinuxMint , Windows 8.1 still the best !

NOTE : Most Motherboards , Graphics Card have a W8 logo on it , it means that it work directly without any installation process from you

First Of All , What we need ? :

- A Computer with Windows 8.1 Entreprise ( You can find the Entreprise Version Free for 90 Days on Windows Official Site )
- An USB Key or HardDrive ( Make Sure It's 32Go min , and USB 3.0 !! ) For more compatibility see the WIN8 Logo on the box
- DVD or ISO of Windows 8.1 Enterprise

Let's Go :

1 - Go to your search engine on Windows 8

Make sure , your search is on the 'Parameters' , if not you'll see nothing

2 - Put USB Key , and make the choice of this one on the Wizard

3 - Choose your DVD or ISO file , and select it to burn it into the USB Key

It will ask you if you want to encrypt the drive with BitLocker , I make the choice of no , because it's only a LiveUSB key for mining

4 - FINISH , just select NO , or it'll put your computer in USB first boot mode

Remember , not all USB Key are compatible with this windows 8 application , there's another tutorial on the web , who tells you how to make it with all USB keys , but i've tried first and it didn't work

Just Restart and boot for USB Key at BIOS boot

Regards Everyone

Thanks!

Since most of us have no GPUs in our office computers (my office PC has a really fast i7 with a dumb nVidia N5200), it would be nice if you could post a couple of truly CPU only coins that have not been mined with GPU as suggestions to put on a .bat file on the USB disc ready to go.

Does this only work with Entreprise?
