How to create a bootable installer

A few years ago, creating a bootable USB drive
used to be a somewhat daunting exercise for
many people as it meant using the command
prompt to access DiskPart which is a great little
command-line utility. Luckily for us, there are
now far simpler ways of achieving this, by using
free software like Rufus to do the hard work
instead. Please note though that Rufus is a
Windows only utility.

How to create a bootable installer

Things you will need:

1. bootable ISO installer of operating system

2. Rufus

3. A spare USB stick (The size of the USB required
will vary depending on the size of the ISO you are
using. For this exercise I need an 8GB USB)

How to create a bootable installer

Step 1:

Once you have the
required items, you
can start by opening
up Rufus

By default, it will appear to
have many of the options
blank until you connect your
USB. Once you connect the
USB, these fields will be
automatically filled for you.

Step 2:

connect your
USB to your
computer.

Step 3:

Now we need to select
our ISO. (in my case
the Windows 7 ISO)
Select the icon
highlighted as shown
below, which will let
you browse for the
required ISO file.

Step 4:

Select the file by left
clicking on it once and
then clicking on Open.

Rufus will now have
filled out the fields for
you. All you have to do
now is hit Start.

Step 4:

Note, if you are using a USB stick that is
too small, like using a 4GB USB for an ISO
that is larger than 4GB you will get the
following error:

Note, If your USB is the correct size then
you will get a standard warning telling you
that any data/partitions that was on the
USB before starting the process will be
permanently deleted

Click OK, to start.

How long the process will
take to complete will
depend on the specs of
your computer, the USB
(read/write speeds) and
the size of the ISO you are
using.
