Create bootable media with Rufus
This tool has a user-friendly interface that looks like the built-in format panel of Windows. We can choose a partition scheme, devices, cluster size, target system type, new volume label, and file system types – like NTFS, FAT32, exFAT, and UDF. Using this tool you can create an extendable label, quick format mode, and icon files. There are a few basic formatting options available. The tool also lets us select the algorithms (from type 1 to type 4). A bootable disk is created using the ISO image. Rufus records all the activities and saves them as a log file.
