RUFUS TESTING

  • 5 months ago
Rufus is a free, open-source utility software used to create bootable USB flash drives. It is particularly popular for creating bootable USB drives for installing operating systems such as Windows, Linux, or other software utilities. Rufus is lightweight, easy to use, and supports various file formats, including ISO, IMG, and DD.

Here's how Rufus typically works:

1. **Selecting the USB Drive**: You start by inserting the USB flash drive you want to make bootable into your computer. Rufus will detect and display all connected USB drives.

2. **Choosing an ISO File**: Next, you select the ISO file of the operating system or utility you want to create a bootable USB drive for. This ISO file contains the installation files for the operating system or software.

3. **Configuring Options**: Rufus allows you to configure various options such as partition scheme, file system, cluster size, and bootable method. These options ensure compatibility with the target system and optimize performance.

4. **Start the Process**: Once you've configured the options according to your preferences, you simply click the "Start" button in Rufus to begin the process. Rufus will format the USB drive (which erases all existing data), copy the contents of the ISO file onto the drive, and make it bootable.

5. **Wait for Completion**: Depending on the size of the ISO file and the speed of your USB drive, the process may take a few minutes to complete. Rufus provides a progress bar to indicate the status of the operation.

6. **Eject USB Drive**: Once Rufus has finished creating the bootable USB drive, you can safely eject the USB drive from your computer. The USB drive is now ready to be used for installing the operating system or running the utility on a compatible computer.

Rufus is widely used by both casual users and IT professionals due to its simplicity, reliability, and versatility. It's a handy tool for anyone who needs to create bootable USB drives for various purposes.
