A program for launching Windows from a flash drive. The best programs to create a bootable USB flash drive

Rufus is a program for the Windows operating system designed to format and create bootable USB drives. Compared to other similar programs, Rufus is multifunctional, has a simple and intuitive interface, is translated into 30 languages and does not require installation.

You can use the program if you have the operating system Windows XP or a later version; the bit depth - 32 or 64 bits - does not matter.

Download the executable file to your computer. You can do this by following the link below. Once the download is complete, the application is ready to use.

The program is designed to create a bootable USB disk from a bootable ISO image for Windows, Linux, UEFI and other formats. It is also useful if you need to flash the BIOS or other firmware from DOS.

If you have saved the files for installing the operating system on a CD or DVD, then you can easily create an ISO image from them, for example, using the CD burning program - IntraRecorder. You can also use the UltraISO program to work with disk images.

Now let's begin to understand how the program works.

We connect the flash drive on which we will record the boot disk image to the computer. Be careful that the size of the USB drive is not smaller than the size of the ISO file. We run the program as administrator. To do this, right-click on it and select the item from the context menu "Run as administrator".

The Rufus program window opens. In the first field “Device”, from the drop-down menu, you need to select the flash drive that we plan to make bootable.

In the next field, if you have selected "MBR for computers with BIOS or UEFI", nothing needs to be changed. UEFI is an interface that is installed between the operating system installed on a computer and the software that ensures the functioning of various hardware components of the computer. Its essence is the same as that of the BIOS, but there are still a few differences. Moreover, it is developed by Intel, and the BIOS is software supported by various brands.

Next you need to select a file system. If the image weighs more than 4 gigabytes or you plan to write movies to a flash drive after formatting, it is better to choose NTFS, since in the FAT format you will not be able to subsequently write files larger than 4 gigabytes to a flash drive.

Now let's move on to cluster size. A cluster is the minimum amount of space that can be allocated on disk for a file. If you plan to use a flash drive to store small files, choose a smaller cluster size. If you record movies or music on it, choose a higher value.

“Volume label” is the name of the flash drive after formatting.

In the parameters, check the boxes next to the item "Quick Format"– after formatting, you will have the opportunity, using special programs, to restore the necessary files from the flash drive; And "Create a boot disk"– select “ISO image” from the drop-down list, click on the optical drive icon and select the IOS image file on the computer.

After completing the creation of a bootable USB flash drive with an ISO image, you need to click on the “Close” button. That's all - program for creating a bootable USB flash drive Rufus She did an excellent job with her task, and most importantly it didn’t take much time.

In articles on how to install Windows from a flash drive, I have already described some ways to create a bootable flash drive, but not all. Below in the list are individual instructions on this topic, but I recommend that you first read the article itself below the list - in it you will find new, simple and interesting ways to make a bootable USB flash drive, sometimes even unique ones.

This review will look at free utilities that allow you to create a bootable USB drive for installing Windows or Linux, as well as programs for burning a multiboot flash drive. Also presented are options for creating a USB drive to run Windows 10 and 8 without installing and using Linux in Live mode without rebooting the computer. All “download” links in the article lead to the official websites of the programs.

Update 2016. Since writing this review of programs for creating a bootable flash drive, several new options have appeared for preparing a USB drive for installing Windows, which I consider necessary to add here. The next two sections are these new methods, and then the “old” methods that have not lost their relevance are described (first about multiboot drives, then specifically about creating bootable Windows flash drives of various versions, as well as a description of several auxiliary useful programs).

Bootable USB flash drive Windows 10 and Windows 8.1 without programs

Those who have a modern computer equipped with a motherboard with UEFI software (a novice user can determine UEFI by the graphical interface when entering the “BIOS”), and who need to make a bootable USB flash drive to install Windows 10 or Windows 8.1 on this particular computer, can generally Do not use any third-party programs to create a bootable USB flash drive.

All you need to use this method: support for EFI boot, a USB drive formatted in FAT32 and preferably an original ISO image or a disk with the specified versions of Windows OS (for non-original ones it is more reliable to use the creation of a UEFI flash drive using the command line, which is described later in this material).

Microsoft Windows Installation Media Creation Tool

For a long time, the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool was the only official Microsoft utility for creating a bootable USB flash drive (originally intended for Windows 7, described below in this same article).

More than a year after the release of Windows 8, the next official program was released - Windows Installation Media Creation Tool for burning an installation USB drive with the Windows 8.1 distribution of the version you need. And now a similar Microsoft utility has been released for burning a bootable USB flash drive for Windows 10.

With this free program, you can easily make a bootable USB or ISO image by choosing a professional, single-language or basic version of Windows 8.1, as well as the installation language, including Russian. In this case, the official distribution kit is downloaded from the Microsoft website, which may be important for those who require the original Windows.

Multiboot flash drives

First of all, I’ll tell you about two tools designed to create a multiboot flash drive - an indispensable tool for any computer repairman and, if you have the skills, an excellent thing for the average computer user. As the name suggests, a multiboot flash drive allows you to boot in different modes and for different purposes, for example, on one flash drive you can have:

Installing Windows 8
Kaspersky Rescue Disk
Hiren's Boot CD
Installing Ubuntu Linux

This is just an example; in fact, the set can be completely different, depending on the goals and preferences of the owner of such a flash drive.

WinSetupFromUSB

Main window WinsetupFromUSB 1.6

In my personal opinion, one of the most convenient utilities for creating a bootable USB flash drive. The functions of the program are wide - in the program you can prepare a USB drive for subsequent conversion into a bootable one, format it in a variety of ways and create the necessary boot record, check the bootable flash drive in QEMU.

The main function, which is also implemented quite simply and clearly, is to record a bootable USB flash drive from Linux installation images, disks with utilities, as well as installations of Windows 10, 8, Windows 7 and XP (Server versions are also supported). The use is not as simple as some of the other programs in this review, but, nevertheless, if you more or less understand how this kind of media is made, it will not be difficult for you to figure it out.

Free SARDU program for creating a multiboot flash drive

SARDU is one of the most functional and simple, despite the lack of a Russian-language interface, programs that make it easy to burn a multiboot flash drive with:

Images of Windows 10, 8, Windows 7 and XP
Win PE images
Linux distributions
Anti-virus boot disks and bootable drives with utilities for resuscitating the system, setting up partitions on disks, etc.

Moreover, for many images the program has a built-in downloader from the Internet. If all the methods of creating a multi-boot flash drive that have been tried so far have not yet worked for you, I strongly recommend trying: Multi-boot flash drive in SARDU.

Easy2Boot and Butler (Boutler)

The programs for creating bootable and multiboot flash drives Easy2Boot and Butler are very similar in operating principle. In general terms, this principle looks like this:

You prepare the USB drive in a special way
Copy bootable ISO images to the created folder structure on the flash drive

As a result, you get a bootable drive with images of Windows distributions (8.1, 8, 7 or XP), Ubuntu and other Linux distributions, utilities for computer recovery or virus treatment. Essentially, the number of ISOs you can use is limited only by the size of the drive, which is very convenient, especially for professionals who really need it.

The disadvantages of both programs for novice users include the need to understand what you are doing and be able to manually make changes to the disk if necessary (everything does not always work as desired by default). At the same time, Easy2Boot, given the availability of help only in English and the lack of a graphical interface, is somewhat more complicated than Boutler.

XBoot

XBoot is a free utility for creating a multiboot flash drive or ISO disk image with several versions of Linux, utilities, antivirus kits (for example, Kaspersky Rescue), Live CD (Hiren’s Boot CD). Windows is not supported. However, if we need a very functional multiboot flash drive, we can first create an ISO in XBoot, and then use the resulting image in the WinSetupFromUSB utility. Thus, by combining these two programs, we can get a multi-boot flash drive for Windows 8 (or 7), Windows XP, and everything that we recorded in XBoot. You can download on the official website https://sites.google.com/site/shamurxboot/

Creating bootable media in this program is done by simply dragging and dropping the desired ISO files into the main window. Then all you have to do is click “Create ISO” or “Create USB”.

Another opportunity provided in the program is to download the necessary disk images by selecting them from a fairly extensive list.

Bootable Windows flash drives

This part presents programs whose purpose is to transfer installation files of the Windows operating system to a flash drive for easy installation on netbooks or other computers that are not equipped with optical CD drives (does anyone say that?).

Microsoft Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool

The Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool is an official free program from Microsoft designed to burn a bootable USB flash drive with Windows 7 or Windows 8. Despite the fact that the program was released for the previous version of the operating system, it also works great with Windows 8 and Windows 10 . You can download it from the official Microsoft website

Selecting a Windows ISO image in a utility from Microsoft

Use does not present any difficulties - after installation, you will need to specify the path to the Windows disk image file (.iso), indicate which USB drive to write to (all data will be deleted) and wait for the operation to complete. That's all, the bootable USB flash drive with Windows 10, 8 or Windows 7 is ready.

Bootable USB flash drive in Windows command line

If you need a flash drive to install Windows 8, 8.1 or Windows 7, then it is not necessary to use any third-party programs to create it. Moreover, some of these programs simply provide a graphical interface, doing everything that you can do yourself using the command line.

The process of creating a bootable USB flash drive in the Windows command line (including with UEFI support) looks like this:

You prepare the flash drive using diskpart on the command line.
Copy all operating system installation files to the drive.
Make some changes as needed (for example, if you require UEFI support when installing Windows 7).

There is nothing complicated in this procedure, and even a novice user can handle it if you follow the instructions.

Flash drive with Windows 10 and 8 in WinToUSB Free

The WinToUSB Free program allows you to make a bootable USB flash drive not for installing Windows 10 and 8, but for directly launching them from a USB drive without installation. At the same time, in my experience, it copes with this task better than its analogues.

An ISO image, a CD with Windows, or even an OS already installed on the computer can be used as a source for a system written to USB (however, the latter option, if I'm not mistaken, is not available in the free version).

WiNToBootic

Another free and perfectly working utility for creating a bootable USB flash drive with Windows 8 or Windows 7. Quite little known, but, in my opinion, a program worth attention.

Advantages of WiNTBootic compared to Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool:

Supports ISO images from Windows, unzipped OS folder or DVD
No need to install on your computer
High speed

Using the program is as simple as the previous utility - we indicate the location of the files for installing Windows and which flash drive to write them to, and then wait for the program to finish.

WinToFlash utility

This free portable program allows you to create a bootable USB flash drive from the installation CD of Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows Vista, as well as Windows Server 2003 and 2008. And not only that: if you needed a bootable USB flash drive for MS DOS or Win PE, you can also make one using WinToFlash. Another feature of the program is the creation of a flash drive for removing a banner from the desktop.

Rufus

Rufus is a free utility that allows you to create a bootable Windows or Linux USB flash drive. The program works on all current versions of Windows OS and, among its other functions, can check a flash drive for bad sectors and bad blocks. It is also possible to place various utilities on a flash drive, such as Hiren’s Boot CD, Win PE and others. Another important advantage of this program in its latest versions is the simple creation of a bootable UEFI GPT or MBR flash drive.

The program itself is very easy to use, and, in the latest versions, among other things, it can make a Windows To Go drive to run Windows from a flash drive without installation.

Considering the fact that many users in Russia do not really pay for programs, using UltraISO to create bootable flash drives is quite common. Unlike all the other programs described here, UltraISO costs money, and allows, among other functions available in the program, to create a bootable Windows USB flash drive. The creation process is not entirely obvious, so I will describe it here.

With a flash drive connected to the computer, run UltraISO.
Select the menu item (top) Bootstrapping.
Specify the path to the bootable image of the distribution that you want to burn to the flash drive.
If necessary, format the flash drive (this is done in the same window), then click “write”.

That's all, a bootable Windows or Linux flash drive created using the UltraISO program is ready.

Other utilities related to bootable flash drives

Below are additional programs that can help you create a bootable flash drive (including with Linux), and also offer some features that are missing in the utilities already mentioned.

Linux Live USB Creator

Distinctive features of the program for creating bootable USB flash drives Linux Live USB Creator are:

The ability to download the required Linux image using the program itself from a fairly good list of distributions, including all the popular Ubuntu and Linux Mint variants.
The ability to run Linux from a created USB drive in Live mode in a Windows environment using VirtualBox Portable, which is also automatically installed by Linux Live USB Creator on the drive.

Of course, the ability to simply boot a computer or laptop from a Linux Live USB Creator flash drive and install the system is also present.

Windows Bootable Image Creator - creating a bootable ISO

WBI Creator is somewhat different from the general range of programs. It does not create a bootable USB flash drive, but a bootable ISO disk image from the folder with files for installing Windows 8, Windows 7 or Windows XP. All you need to do is select the folder in which the installation files are located, select the version of the operating system (for Windows 8, select Windows 7), indicate the desired DVD label (the disc label is present in the ISO file) and click the “Go” button. After this, you can create a bootable USB flash drive using other utilities from this list.

Universal USB Installer window

This program allows you to select one of several available Linux distributions (as well as download it) and create a flash drive with it on board. The process is very simple: select the distribution version, specify the path to the location of the file with this distribution, specify the path to a flash drive pre-formatted in FAT or NTFS and click Create. That's it, all you have to do is wait.

These are not all programs designed for these purposes; there are many others for various platforms and purposes. For most common and not so common tasks, the utilities listed should be sufficient. Let me remind you that it’s quite easy to create a bootable USB flash drive with Windows 10, 8 or Windows 7 without using any additional utilities - just using the command line, which I wrote about in detail in the relevant articles.

Hello, friends! Today we’ll talk again about creating a bootable USB flash drive.

How to create a bootable USB device? For what purposes should I use it and what program should I use to record it?

A brief overview of the five most popular and free programs for creating a bootable USB flash drive.

Modern developments do not stand still, and yesterday's technologies are slowly but surely losing their relevance. So the once popular CDs and DVDs no longer seem like such a clear solution for storing, transferring and working with information. High data reading speed, versatility and reusability are just a small part of all the advantages of a flash drive as a bootable medium over disks. Already today, almost all personal computers and laptops, if they are no more than ten years old, support the ability to boot from USB devices. And in some cases (for example, a netbook), a flash drive may be the only boot device from an external drive.

By the way, the new Windows 10 operating system will be the first axis, the distribution of which will be officially distributed on a USB drive. And if you suddenly need to recover files from a flash drive, read about it. I also recommend paying attention to, which will help you take your mind off everyday work and lift your spirits.

With the help of additional software, a flash drive can be used not only as a boot device for installing, reinstalling and restoring the operating system, but also to create an emergency device (Multiboot). This is a kind of resuscitator, a tool from which you can boot at any time and cure your computer of viruses, restore system files or save important data. I described how to create such a flash drive resuscitator in the article “Creating a bootable Live CD/DVD/USB device and its use.” You can read this article.

Despite all the obvious advantages and the growing popularity of a flash drive as a bootable device, there are not so many programs for creating it. Nevertheless, they exist, and today I will introduce you to them in more detail, but first a few words about the preparatory stage.

Preparing a flash drive

We will need the flash drive itself, plus knowledge of some important aspects. First, you need to make sure that your computer supports booting from USB devices. There is a misconception that if in the bios (boot section) there is no option to select boot from usb (there are only floppi, hdd and dvd-rom options), then boot from usb is not supported. This is wrong!

More precisely, this is not always the case. The only correct solution is to refer to the manual (user manual) of your motherboard or using specialized software (AIDA64 as an option) to obtain a detailed report on the hardware used.

The second point is the size of the flash drive. Here everything will depend on what we write on it. For example, to create a Live-USB, Linux or Windows 7 installation disk, a 4 GB flash drive is enough. To create a bootable device with the latest versions of Windows, it is advisable to have a flash drive of at least 8 GB on hand.

The third point is transferring files from a flash drive. Typically, the process of creating a boot device involves completely formatting it. If there are important files on the flash drive, transfer them to another device in advance. To create a bootable USB flash drive and then work with it as a boot device, use the USB-2.0 port (Windows 7 does not support USB 3.0).

How to create a bootable USB flash drive

Let's look at five different methods using five free programs for Windows as an example.

A small but quite functional utility with the self-explanatory name WinSetupFromUSB. Equally well suited for recording a bootable and/or multiboot flash drive (up to 10 operating systems) and creating Live devices. Official site .

Among the shortcomings is the lack of support for the Russian language. Among the advantages, as I already said, is its versatility. The utility can work not only with Windows distributions, but is also suitable for burning an installation disk with Linux.

The usual option for creating a bootable flash drive, for example, with a Windows distribution, involves selecting the flash drive itself, the option to automatically format the media, and the ISO image of the operating system in the appropriate boxes. The recording process starts after pressing the “Go” button. You can read more about how this program works.

To create a multiboot flash drive (several OS), you need to specify the path to the ISO images of the operating systems. At the time of writing this article, the Windows 10 selection item is missing by default, but in reality everything is written and works, you just need to select the appropriate box with the available versions - Vista, 7, 8.

2. Rufus

Perhaps the simplest solution for creating bootable USB drives. Everything is simple and intuitive. Suitable for working on systems that do not have an installed OS. Official site rufus.akeo.ie.

The main advantages are speed of operation, simple interface, Russian language. An excellent solution if you need to create a bootable Windows 10 USB flash drive with UEFI support. By the way, I wrote in detail about how to do this in.

Distributed in the format of a regular installer and a portable version. To create a bootable USB flash drive, in the utility window you need to specify the path to the ISO image to be written and click the “Start” button.

On new systems that use UEFI instead of BIOS, set the Partition Scheme and System Interface Type menu to GPT for computers with UEFI.
In other cases, the default settings will be sufficient. The option to format a flash drive is assigned by default.

3. Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool

This utility is an official application from Microsoft. The interface is minimalistic, simple and clear, it is easy to work with. Download from the official website wudt.codeplex.com.

Perhaps the name of the utility (Windows 7 USB) will mislead many people into thinking that with its help you can only write the Windows 7 distribution to removable media. However, this is not the case. In addition to the seventh version, Windows 8.1 and 10 distributions can be stored on a flash drive.

The downside is that the utility is not Russified, but the simple and intuitive interface is designed to offset this drawback.

All that is required from the user is to insert a USB drive in advance, select an ISO image with the operating system and specify the path to the media (flash drive) to which this image should be deployed.

The operating principle of this program is based on standard tools of the Windows operating system - these are “diskpart”, “bootsect /nt60”, unpacking ISO onto a flash drive. The program acts only as a graphical interface.

UltraISO is one of the best and most functional programs for working with disk images. A universal “harvester” that supports work with almost any known formats. Can work in tandem with Nero Burning Rom and integrates with virtual emulators. It will help if the boot disk image is not in ISO format.

The program can convert other image formats into ISO files - NRG, MDF, MDS, IMG, CCD, etc. With UltraISO you can edit ISO files without unpacking them. The UltraISO interface has been translated into many languages, including Russian. For downloading, you are offered several editions of UltraISO, adapted for individual versions of Windows, as well as a portable version of the program. Download link www.ezbsystems.com.

By and large, the program does not care what boot devices will be created with its help, with what operating system, what software and from what manufacturer. The ISO image to be burned must be opened in the program window either using the Open command in the File menu or using the browse button on the toolbar. This can also be done using the Ctrl + O key combination.

Then in the window that appears, if the program automatically selects the desired flash drive, you should click the “Burn” button.

Daemon Tools Ultra is a professional tool for working with images. The program itself is familiar to many users from the free Lite version, which allows you to mount virtual drives for reading disk images. Its more functional version - Daemon Tools Ultra - offers, among other features, the creation of boot devices.

Among the disadvantages, it is worth noting that it is paid, but to create a bootable flash drive, you can download a free 20-day trial version on the program’s official website. Official website of the program.

Go to the official website and download the program. During installation, you must select a trial license type.

The program works with a huge number of disk image formats and can be used both to create a boot device with subsequent installation of the operating system, and to restore it (Live disk).

To create a bootable flash drive, in the main window of Daemon Tools Ultra, select the “Tools” menu item, and among its commands is “Write bootable image to USB”. Or the hotkey combination Ctrl+B.

In the recording parameters window, specify the path to the image, enable the MBR overwrite option and click “Start”.

When the flash drive is ready, all that remains is to boot from it. The easiest way is to use the boot menu keys. The table below shows a clear example of such keys.

Of course, this is not the entire list of programs designed to create bootable devices, but for the vast majority of users, the capabilities and functionality of the listed software will be sufficient.

For example, the Rufus program can be used as the simplest and fastest tool for creating a bootable USB drive with one Windows distribution or for flashing BIOS from DOS.

In articles on how to install Windows from a flash drive, we have already described some ways to create a bootable flash drive, but not all of them. Instructions on this topic are listed below, but we recommend that you first read the article itself - in it you will find new, simple and interesting ways.

This review will look at free utilities that allow you to create a bootable USB drive for installing Windows or Linux, as well as two programs for burning a multiboot flash drive. All “download” links in the article lead to the official websites of the programs.

Bootable USB flash drive Windows 10 and Windows 8.1 without programs

Microsoft Windows Installation Media Creation Tool

And now, more than a year after the release of Windows 8 and 8.1, the next official program was released - Windows Installation Media Creation Tool for recording an installation USB drive with the Windows 8.1 distribution of the version you need.

Detailed instructions for using this method and how to download the program from the official Microsoft website here: http://remontka.pro/installation-media-creation-tool/

Multiboot flash drives

Installing Windows 8
Kaspersky Rescue Disk
Hiren's Boot CD
Installing Ubuntu Linux

This is just an example; in fact, the set can be completely different, depending on the goals and preferences of the owner of such a flash drive.

WinSetupFromUSB

Main program window

In my personal opinion, one of the most convenient utilities for creating a bootable USB flash drive. The functions are quite wide - in the program you can prepare a USB drive for later turning it into a bootable one, format it in a variety of ways and create the necessary boot record. The main function, which is also implemented quite simply and clearly, is to record a bootable USB flash drive from Linux installation images, disks with utilities, as well as installations of Windows 8, Windows 7 and XP (Server versions are also supported). The use is not as simple as some of the other programs in this review, but, nevertheless, if you more or less understand how this kind of media is made, it will not be difficult for you to figure it out. For everyone else, one day I will write detailed instructions describing the process of creating a multiboot flash drive for work.

Easy2Boot and Butler (Boutler)

The programs for creating bootable and multiboot flash drives Easy2Boot and Butler are very similar in operating principle. In general terms, this principle looks like this:

You prepare the USB drive in a special way
Copy bootable ISO images to the created folder structure on the flash drive

XBoot

Creating bootable media in this program is done by simply dragging and dropping the desired ISO files into the main window. Then all you have to do is click “Create ISO” or “Create USB”.

Another opportunity provided in the program is to download the necessary disk images by selecting them from a fairly extensive list.

There is nothing complicated in this procedure, and even a novice user can handle it if you follow the instructions.

WiNToBootic

Another free and perfectly working utility for creating a bootable USB flash drive with Windows 8 or Windows 7. Quite little known, but, in my opinion, a program worth attention.

Advantages of WiNTBootic compared to Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool:

Supports ISO images from Windows, unzipped OS folder or DVD
No need to install on your computer
High speed

Using the program is as simple as the previous utility - we indicate the location of the files for installing Windows and which flash drive to write them to, and then wait for the program to finish.

WinToFlash utility

Rufus

The program itself is very easy to use, but quite limited. Somewhat reminiscent of the stripped-down WinSetupFromUSB, which was mentioned above.

With a flash drive connected to the computer, run UltraISO.
Select the menu item (top) Bootstrapping.
Specify the path to the bootable image of the distribution that you want to burn to the flash drive.
If necessary, format the flash drive (this is done in the same window), then click “write”.

That's all, a bootable Windows or Linux flash drive created using the UltraISO program is ready.

These are not all programs designed for these purposes; there are many others for various platforms and purposes. For most common and not so common tasks, the utilities listed should be sufficient. Let me remind you that it’s quite easy to create a bootable USB flash drive with Windows 8 or Windows 7 without using any additional utilities - just using the command line, which I wrote about in detail in the relevant articles.

Hello dear readers or first time guests, today we will talk about how to burn an image to a flash drive, namely ISO and IMG formats using portable programs. Which will do everything for you, you just need to choose the image itself!

How to easily burn an image to a flash drive

First we will talk about the popular ISO image, which is now used almost everywhere, especially its popularity on the Internet. To do this, download the program:

The program is free and portable, i.e. does not require installation, which is very convenient. You can tolerate it and it is from which very often. We launch it and see this window:

If you want to burn the image to a blank flash drive, then .

Now I’ll explain how to write:

1. Select that this is a disk image, i.e. our flash drive.

2 Select the image itself.

3. We indicate that this is not a hard drive, but a flash drive.

4. You may have another flash drive inserted, so we’ll find out which one it is.

5. Click OK and after a while the recording will be completed successfully.

This the best program for burning an image to a flash drive, which I found.

Once completed, a reboot is not necessary. Press exit. During the recording process, the program may offer to overwrite the file. Click yes.

How to burn an IMG image to a USB flash drive

Open it and see a simple interface:

1. Select an image (There should be no Russian characters in the path, otherwise the program may swear).

2. Select the device (Before recording, it is advisable to format the device where you are going to record the image).
