Rufus: The Fastest Tool To Create Bootable USB Drive

Windows users have a lot of good utilities to create a bootable USB using an ISO file and then install Windows from a USB flash drive. Windows 7 DVD/USB Tool, UNetBootin, WinToFlash, and Universal USB installer are the some popular utilities available for the job.

While most of the utilities mentioned above do their job very well, the only catch is that all these tools take considerable amount of time to transfer the ISO onto the USB.

Users who don’t want to use the command prompt method for creating bootable USB media should check out Rufus utility. Rufus is a small utility for Windows and helps you create bootable USB drives. The best thing about this tool is that it’s faster than other tools. According to the developer of the tool, it’s twice as fast as the official Windows 7 USB/DVD Tool, Universal USB installer and UNetBootin tools.

Apart from Windows XP (SP2 or later), Windows Server 2003 R2, Vista, Windows and Windows 8, this software also supports Arch Linux, Hiren’s Boot CD, Parted Magic, NT Password Registry Editor, Knoppix, Kubuntu, OpenSUSE, CentOS, Fedora and many other Linux distributions.
