How To Create A Bootable USB Media With Rufus

Rufus Overview
Rufus is widely considered to be the fastest and most reliable tool for the creation of a bootable USB. It also supports UEFI (“Unified Extensible Firmware Interface”), a new mainboard firmware that replaced the old BIOS and can already be found on almost all newer computers. From Windows 8, it’s also possible to install “Windows2Go” as a portable operating system on an external storage device with Rufus.


Hardly any commercial USB drives are suitable from the outset for these diverse tasks. This is because most models are only loaded with a single file system when you first get them, for example, an FAT32 or exFAT file system. They’re missing the “master boot record” (MBR) that’s absolutely necessary for booting most PCs (specifically those with a “basic input/output system” (BIOS)). You have to make a new USB stick bootable on your own.

BIOS (basic input/output system) is a program that is preinstalled on the mainboard of most computers and activates the hardware when the system boots so that the operating system can communicate and interact with it. A bootable USB drive can of course be created on a different computer than the one you want to use it on later.

Requirements :
1. Rusfus latest version.
2. USB drive with at least 4GB of storage (for a 32-bit operating system) or at least 8GB (for a 64-bit system). To obtain a high working speed (or enable the creation of a portable operating system), the selected drive should support the standard USB 3.0. If the drive is already being used, make sure that it doesn’t contain any important or indispensable data.
3. An ISO file for the desired operating system that contains all setup files that you need for installation.

How to create?
Here are step by step to create a bootable USB drive with Rufus as the Windows installation media.
1. Open the program with a double-click and select your USB drive in “Device”
2. Click SELECT and select the “ISO Image” file.
3. Under Partition scheme, choose MBR or GPT. According to Partition scheme Target system will change. Both BIO and UEFI choose MBR.
4. Under “New volume label”, you can enter whatever name you like for your USB drive.
5. Click on “Start”
6. You’ll receive the warning “ALL DATA ON THIS DEVICE WILL BE DESTROYED”, which you can confidently confirm with “OK”– at this point, you’ve ideally already saved any important files from the USB drive.
7. As soon as the green bar is full, click on “Finish”.
8. Eject your bootable USB drive with “Safely eject hardware”.
Note: Avoid simply pulling the finished bootable USB drive out of the port without using the “Safely eject hardware” option. This could cause you to lose data, since the computer still has access to the storage device and theoretically could still have writing processes underway. With a USB-capable external hard drive, abrupt separation from the computer connection amounts to a system crash on the hard drive.




The whole process can be easy to operate, even for a green hands, it won’t take much time to understand. However, as a free tool, Rufus now also meet with some problems, like the hash sum information for installation files is not provided, and users may get to some other Rufus alternatives as they like. If not work or not boot, change Windows ISO file.
