One of the main benefits of using Rufus is that it is free, open source, and easy to use. Rufus is a good lightweight alternative to <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/UNetbootin\">Unetbootin<\/a>. Additionally with this universal USB installer you can easily create installation drives for <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Linux\">Linux<\/a>, Mac OS, and Windows. It is compatible with most .ISO files and bootable image formats, as well as raw disk image file support. <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rufus_(software)\">Rufus<\/a> also supports the creation of bootable <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FreeDOS\">FreeDOS<\/a> installations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Download Rufus<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step will be to download <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rufus_(software)\">Rufus<\/a>. You will want to navigate to the <a href=\"https:\/\/rufus.ie\/en\/\">Rufus Download Page<\/a>. Then scroll down to the Download section and click on &#8220;Rufus 3.20&#8221; to download the application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"763\" height=\"235\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/download-rufus.jpg\" alt=\"Download Rufus\" class=\"wp-image-348\" srcset=\"https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/download-rufus.jpg 763w, https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/download-rufus-300x92.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 763px) 100vw, 763px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After you download <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rufus_(software)\">Rufus<\/a>, double click on &#8220;rufus-3.2.0.exe&#8221; to launch the application. At this point you will also want to plug in your USB flash drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Select Installation ISO File<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"465\" height=\"537\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/select-iso-file.jpg\" alt=\"Select Installation ISO File\" class=\"wp-image-350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/select-iso-file.jpg 465w, https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/select-iso-file-260x300.jpg 260w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 465px) 100vw, 465px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Next you will select the iso file that you want to flash to the USB drive. Click on the &#8220;SELECT&#8221; button. You will then get a file selection dialog, navigate to where your iso is and select it. In this example I will be using &#8220;ubuntu-22.04-live-server-amd64&#8221;. If you wish to download the ISO you can do so on the <a href=\"https:\/\/ubuntu.com\/download\/desktop\">Ubuntu website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Select Storage Device<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"463\" height=\"536\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/select-device.jpg\" alt=\"Select Storage Device\" class=\"wp-image-351\" srcset=\"https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/select-device.jpg 463w, https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/select-device-259x300.jpg 259w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 463px) 100vw, 463px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Afterwards you will need to select the storage device you want to use. This will be the flash drive that you plugged in a few moments ago. Select it from the drop down list then continue. *WARNING* be careful to select the right drive as all of the data will be deleted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Set Boot Selection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"465\" height=\"537\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/select-boot-selection.jpg\" alt=\"Set Boot Selection\" class=\"wp-image-352\" srcset=\"https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/select-boot-selection.jpg 465w, https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/select-boot-selection-260x300.jpg 260w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 465px) 100vw, 465px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Now you will select the &#8220;Boot selection&#8221; I recommend keeping this option at the default &#8220;Disk or ISO image&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Choose Partition Scheme<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"467\" height=\"583\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/select-partition-scheme-1.jpg\" alt=\"Choose Partition Scheme\" class=\"wp-image-355\" srcset=\"https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/select-partition-scheme-1.jpg 467w, https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/select-partition-scheme-1-240x300.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 467px) 100vw, 467px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Next choose the partition scheme. Usually you can keep this at the default unless you have a very old PC. If you end up having issues change this option and re-flash. We will be keeping it at &#8220;MBR&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Choose Target System<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"464\" height=\"579\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/select-target-system.jpg\" alt=\"Choose Target System\" class=\"wp-image-354\" srcset=\"https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/select-target-system.jpg 464w, https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/select-target-system-240x300.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 464px) 100vw, 464px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The next option is the &#8220;Target system&#8221; I would leave it at &#8220;BIOS or UEFI&#8221; unless you have a specific reason to change it. This option will work for almost every PC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Create a Volume Label (optional)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"463\" height=\"580\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/set-a-volume-label.jpg\" alt=\"Create a Volume Label (optional)\" class=\"wp-image-356\" srcset=\"https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/set-a-volume-label.jpg 463w, https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/set-a-volume-label-239x300.jpg 239w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 463px) 100vw, 463px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This step is optional but if you want to give your flash drive a name just type it in this box. This name will show up in the file explorer after you complete the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Set Cluster Size<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"465\" height=\"579\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/select-custer-size.jpg\" alt=\"Set Cluster Size rufus\" class=\"wp-image-357\" srcset=\"https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/select-custer-size.jpg 465w, https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/select-custer-size-241x300.jpg 241w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 465px) 100vw, 465px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For the cluster size you can keep it and the default of &#8220;64 kilobytes&#8221;. This will work for most flash drives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Set File System<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"465\" height=\"582\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/select-file-system.jpg\" alt=\"Set File System rufus\" class=\"wp-image-358\" srcset=\"https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/select-file-system.jpg 465w, https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/select-file-system-240x300.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 465px) 100vw, 465px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally select the file system. Most people use either NTFS or FAT file formatting. I will be using FAT for this tutorial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Start Flashing Process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"467\" height=\"580\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/start-flash.jpg\" alt=\"Start Flashing Process rufus\" class=\"wp-image-359\" srcset=\"https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/start-flash.jpg 467w, https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/start-flash-242x300.jpg 242w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 467px) 100vw, 467px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally we can start the ISO flashing process. Click on the start button to begin flashing your USB drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Confirm Rufus Drive Flashing Process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"410\" height=\"173\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/confirm-flash.jpg\" alt=\"Confirm Drive Flashing\" class=\"wp-image-360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/confirm-flash.jpg 410w, https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/confirm-flash-300x127.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 410px) 100vw, 410px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This window will ask you to confirm that you really want to flash the USB drive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wait for Flashing to Complete<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"462\" height=\"580\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/wait-for-conversion.jpg\" alt=\"Wait for Flashing to Complete\" class=\"wp-image-361\" srcset=\"https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/wait-for-conversion.jpg 462w, https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/wait-for-conversion-239x300.jpg 239w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 462px) 100vw, 462px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Now you will have to wait for the flashing process to begin. This can take a while so go make yourself a cup of coffee while you wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rufus Flashing Complete<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"463\" height=\"578\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/device-is-now-flashed.jpg\" alt=\"Flashing Complete\" class=\"wp-image-362\" srcset=\"https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/device-is-now-flashed.jpg 463w, https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/device-is-now-flashed-240x300.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 463px) 100vw, 463px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When the flashing process completes you will see a green bar at the bottom, as well as the word &#8220;READY&#8221;. Your installation media is now ready to be used. You can now eject your flash drive and close <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rufus_(software)\">Rufus<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Additional Questions?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have any additional questions or thoughts feel free to comment them below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related Resources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>View our list of <a href=\"https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/programming\/the-top-5-programming-languages-to-learn-in-2022\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Top 5 Programming Languages to Learn in 2022<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check our our <a href=\"https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/product-guides\/the-best-mechanical-gaming-keyboards-to-purchase-in-2023\/\">The Best Mechanical Gaming Keyboards to Purchase in 2023<\/a> article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn <a href=\"https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/linux-tutorials\/how-to-install-veracrypt-and-encrypt-a-flash-drive-on-ubuntu-22-04\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How to Install Ubuntu Server 22.04 [Step by Step]<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Click here to learn <a href=\"https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/linux-tutorials\/how-to-install-mysql-on-ubuntu-server-22-04-lts\/\">How to Install MySQL on Ubuntu Server 22.04 LTS.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>View our <a href=\"https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/linux-tutorials\/how-to-setup-openssh-with-keys-on-ubuntu-22-04\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/linux-tutorials\/how-to-setup-openssh-with-keys-on-ubuntu-22-04\/\">How to Setup OpenSSH with Keys on Ubuntu 22.04<\/a> tutorial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn <a href=\"https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/os-installs\/how-to-install-kali-linux-2022-3-step-by-step\/\">How to install Kali Linux 2022.3 [step by step]<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>View all of our available online tools and converters at <a href=\"https:\/\/formatswap.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Formatswap.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Affiliate Disclaimer:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This website may contain affiliate links.
