Rufus

[Image: 38DNDit.png]

Rufus is a small utility that helps format and create bootable USB flash drives, such as USB keys/pendrives, memory sticks, etc.

It can be especially useful for cases where:
- you need to create USB installation media from bootable ISOs (Windows, Linux, UEFI, etc.)
- you need to work on a system that doesn't have an OS installed
- you need to flash a BIOS or other firmware from DOS
- you want to run a low-level utility
Despite its small size, Rufus provides everything you need!
 
Features:

- Formats USB flash drives to FAT/FAT32/NTFS/UDF/exFAT
- Creates DOS bootable USB drives, using FreeDOS or MS-DOS with no external files required
- Creates MBR or GPT/UEFI bootable USB drives
- Creates bootable USB drives from bootable ISOs (Windows, Linux, etc.)
- Twice as fast as Microsoft's USB/DVD tool or UNetbootin, on ISO->USB (1)
- Can perform bad blocks check, with fake drive detection
- Modern and familiar UI, with 34 languages supported natively (2)
- Small footprint, no installation required
- 100% Free Software (GPL v3)
 
Compilation:

Use either Visual Studio 2012, WDK 7.1 (Windows Driver Kit) or MinGW and then invoke the .sln, wdk_build.cmd or configure/make respectively.
 
Additional information:

Rufus provides extensive information about what it is doing, either through its easily accessible log, or through the Windows debug facility.
