Rule of thumb is if you are in any doubt about an option then leave it on default. There is also the ability to create a DOS or Syslinux boot device for the tech-guys, plus a few other options that may be useful in various circumstances. Rufus is equally adept at making both Windows and Linux USB/SD operating system installation media and versions of their recovery disks.

It is also possible to run a full operating system from a USB stick or memory card, thereby letting us try out dual-multibooting without having to make any changes to a machine's onboard hard drive or operating system. We can run software completely independently of a machine's onboard operating system, which allows us to run apps and utilities for partitioning, cloning, imaging and backup, as well as tools for recovery and repair.

Fortunately there are a few utilities around that can do all of this for us in a single operation.īootable flash devices can be used to install an operating system, which can be particularly useful on a machine that does not have an optical drive. To create a bootable flash device from an ISO file we have to make sure our USB stick or SD memory card is indeed bootable by being partitioned and formatted correctly before we extract and copy all of the individual files to the device.
