Introduction |
| If you are unsure how to write an ISO to a USB flash drive, this guide will show you how to use Rufus to accomplish this task. | | == Read this if you plan on using this tool with another operating system. == | | When this guide was written, it was written with the intention of using it for Linux exclusively. However, it can be used with any operating system (with USB boot support). | | In this scenario, the only required adaptation will be to source out the OS image yourself. | | === Guide notes: === | | * New USB drives are favored due to cost. If you reuse a drive, format it outside of Rufus first. | * '''CD/DVD creation is not covered in this guide. If you need instructions for this, refer to thisthe [https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6HsFZ5508HPazYtemRyWlY4Q1E/view?usp=sharing|archived copyoriginal version of this guide].''' | | * '''This guide is on it's 3rd major iterarion due a UX change in Rufus 3.x changing everything. The final version of Revision 2.0 can be found [https://drive.google.com/open?id=1huW_2PpgR-RZzwKQe0wRlb5ZFsovFSZG|here].''' | | * If your laptop has a failed optical drive, USB boot can be used in lieu of replacing the optical drive. | | * '''While a Linux ISO is used in this guide, this tool can be used with any modern operating system. Support for older OSes is not guaranteed.''' |
