[title] Writing to the USB drive (Rufus) | |
[* red] Find the tab that says ***Create a bootable disk using*** and select ***ISO image***. Once you do this, select the icon that looks like an optical drive.

If you have anything on the drive you wish to keep, you will need to copy it off now. | |
[* icon_note] Rufus will ask you if you want to write the ISO in ISO or DD mode. This is up to you, but Rufus will recommend the best choice. I also recommend running a 2 pass block check to make sure the USB flash drive is intact, especially if it is older. This will add time, but you will know the drive is still good. | |
