tools for "burning" bootable USB to install qubes

[Raymond Rizzuto]

Are their any other Windows tools aside from Rufus that can be used to successfully create a bootable USB drive for installing Qubes? I.e. Etcher, Unetbootin, YUMI, etc.

The install manual mentions that "Be sure to select “DD image” mode (you need to do that after selecting the Qubes ISO)" when using Rufus. Is there an equivalent step if using other tools?

You might try https://www.rmprepusb.com/ or https://unetbootin.github.io/

I was hoping to hear what is known to work, aside from Rufus.  I'll probably reinstall when the next version comes out and try a few other options.  I like etcher - used that on a Raspberry Pi project, so that will be my first test.

I always use the one laszio linked on windows, rawrite32.exe. Its the one fedora website recommend.

Pull the stick out immediately when done though. Dont' even eject, cause apparenlty windows puts files on there when mounted and then qubes will fail integrity check.
