| [* icon_caution] ***Users who require a CD/DVD to boot (or systems with buggy USB boot implementations):*** Refer to [guide|54074|this guide] if you need a CD/DVD to boot the system. ***Note: Most users will not need this, since the vast majority of systems do not have problems booting from USB drives directly.*** | |
| [* icon_reminder] Rufus will ask you if you want to write the ISO in ISO or DD mode. This is up to you, but Rufus recommends a mode based on the image. ***Optional: If you are using an older USB drive, run a block test. Most old drives are fine, but if the drive has bad blocks, this may cause problems.*** | |
| [* red] Find Rufus and open it. Once Rufus is open, find the ISO of the Linux distro you downloaded. Click on the image that looks like a CD to locate the ISO. If '''ISO image is not automatically selected, click on the drop-down menu and select it manually. | |
| [* orange] Once you find the ISO, click it and then click ***Open***. After you click this, the ISO will be selected and available to write to the USB drive. | |
| [* green] Once you locate the ISO to write to the drive, select ***Start***. The program will warn you this will erase the drive. You will need to confirm that you want to do this before Rufus starts. To confirm, click ***OK***. If you have anything on the drive you wish to keep, you will need to copy it off now. |
