Rufus Step 1

Run the Rufus program

• A utility that helps format and create
bootable USB flash drives, such as USB
keys/pendrives, memory sticks, etc. It
can be especially useful for cases where:
you need to create USB installation
media from bootable ISOs (Windows,
Linux, UEFI, etc.) you need to work on a

Creating a

Things you will need:

Insert your USB flash drive
required.
Step 3 Step 6
Locate your iso image file
 Click start (Rufus will start working
automatically and there should be
nothing more you need to do until it
has completed

Step 5

• Checked the option Create a bootable

disk, otherwise your laptop or PC won't
be able to boot from the USB drive.

Step 4

• Ensure that Rufus is set to the correct

drive and is outputting in the right
format. The key things to look out for
are Device and Cluster Size. All you
need to do here is make sure that is
going to output the .iso file onto the
correct USB stick. The default cluster
size will be fine, so leave it set to 32Kb.
