There are several ways in which an iso image can be written to a USB flash drive. We will offer you two options, and you will choose the most suitable.

First option

It is necessary to download the program UltraISO. It is not necessary to download or buy the full version of the program. For subsequent operations, a trial version will suffice. After downloading the program, you need to take these steps:

  • Connect the USB flash drive to the computer.
  • Transfer important data that is stored on the USB flash drive to any other storage media, as the files will be lost during the installation of images.
  • Launch the downloaded UltraISO program.
  • Open the desired iso-file, or create an image of the disk (iso) in parallel and open it with UltraISO.
  • Select the menu item, which is called "Boot".
  • Select the function "Burn Hard Disk Image"
  • A window will appear where you will have to check the information written there so that the iso image can be written to the USB flash drive.
  • In the "Disk Drive" field, the name of the flash drive must be selected.
  • The "Image file" field displays the selected path to the place where the iso-file is stored.
  • "Recording method" can be selected any.
  • Now everything is ready. Give the command "Write".
  • Now it is necessary to wait a little.

All, iso-files that you were going to write to the USB flash drive, successfully transferred there.

The second option

We need Win32 Disc Imager. The program can be downloaded from this link: Image Writer for Windows

Download the program and install it on your computer. Run the program. In the first field, specify the location where the iso-file is stored, which you want to write to the USB flash drive. In the second field you need to select a USB flash drive to which files will be written. Press the "Write" key. Now you need to wait for the end of the operation to write the files to the USB flash drive.

Why iso-images are written on a USB flash drive?

Basically, the desire to write iso-files on a flash driveis related to the need to install an operating system on a device where there is no disk drive. Recently, this is quite a frequent phenomenon. The fact is that many modern laptop manufacturers do not include a drive in their models, since they are striving for compactness. Moreover, the latest achievements in the sphere of information carriers dictate the conditions when the disk is often not needed at all. Therefore, a new operating system on a netbook, for example, is put using a bootable USB flash drive, since it does not have a floppy drive. The development of the computer technology market follows the path of reducing physical characteristics and increasing the functionality of computers.
