Batch file create date parameter

-

Often I use a batch file to format folders or files based on the current time. This will set a variable that is the current date/time formatted as YYYYMMDDHHMMSS:

@echo off

rem --------------------------------------------
rem ------- SET UP DATETIME STAMP VARIABLE -----

@echo off
for /f "delims=" %%a in (' powershell -Command "Get-Date -format yyyyMMddHHmmss" ') do set "dtformatted=%%a"
echo %dtformatted%

rem ECHO %dtformatted%
rem --------------------------------------------

Create Bootable USB from Windows

I've had amazingly bad luck with different programs and operating systems, just trying to create bootable thumb drives. In Windows, when creating a Windows bootable USB, this seems to work, with the instructions found here : No promises that this will work everywhere.
