Make a Bootable USB (Flash Disk / external Disk)

This is the first post about software on my new blog, after several days of selecting an appropriate view.

Today my shop is open as usual, because my routine is like this.

Some time later, the first customer comes  with the constraints of the OS on his PC a little error, I do not want to beat around the bush, I immediately check. My first attempt to do is to do refair using OS backup, unfortunately its OS CD unreadable.

There seems to be other issues, the possibility of its memory or otical drive. After doing a check over and it turns out the problem was the optical drive which happens to still 52x CD-Rom, what can make me unload from another optical drive better I use the USB media as a back-up program. If by chance you also want to use the USB media (flash drive or external HD) as a back-up program OS (Windows or Linux), the following are the steps that can be taken to make the USB media bootbale OS.

To create a bootable USB, there are actually many ways. Such as by using an application "UNetbootin" of the site http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/. This method is most commonly used to create a bootable USB.

But the software that we will use to create a bootable USB this time is Rufus, using Windows OS applications. There are several advantages of Rufus, among others:

1. Rufus is very light and most rapidly than software like. The file size was very
    small, only about 400 KB only.
2. Easy to use to create a bootable USB from a bootable ISO file (Windows, Linux, etc.)
3. It has a variety of other functions such as low-level utility, flash the BIOS or other firmware.
4. The disadvantage, this software can only be used for the iso file, if you have a master file of
    CD / DVD you have to use other software such WinToFlash.

Here are the steps to make a bootable USB (flash / external Disk)

1) Download the software Rufus free here.
2) Make sure USB (flash) already installed on your system before running rufus.exe

3) If you want to create a bootable USB Windows or Linux, use the "ISO Images" as the source.

    Then click the button next to an existing CD. (See picture below for more details)

4) Select the ISO file you want and click "Open".

5) Click start to begin to create a bootable flash.

6) Finish

Well, the process is over, now you have a bootable USB. If you want to boot from USB, be sure to check the BIOS settings first. In this way, you do not need to master the technical and special skills if you want to create a bootable USB. Now you can create a bootable USB Windows 7, Windows XP, Vista, Linux or any other operating system that you want.

Hopefully my experience on how to create a bootable flash using Rufus above can be useful for you.
