How do I create an installation media for Windows Server 2008 R2?

Once you've downloaded the installation file (Windows Server 2008 R2 .iso), create a bootable USB drive (pendrive) to perform the installation.

Note: You will need a USB device with a minimum of 16 GB memory.

The application you can use for this process is:

Rufus

  1. Download it for free here.
  2. Scroll down and download the most updated version of Rufus in the Download section.
  3. Connect the USB and then open the Rufus program.
  4. Click on Select and search for the Windows Server 2008 R2 .iso file you want to set up.
  5. Finally, click on Start and wait for the program to create the bootable USB drive.
  6. Note: A pop-up window called Customize Windows Installation will appear, select the Disable Data Collection option and wait for the program to create the bootable USB drive.
  7. Once the setup is complete (Prepared progress bar), click on Close and you'll be ready to install Windows Server 2008 R2.
