Rufus3.15 Free Download for Windows supporting 32-bit and 64-bit architectures. Setup file is completely standalone and also its an offline installer. Rufus 3.15 assists you to create bootable USB storage for Windows installation.

Rufus 3.15 is one of the most powerful and efficient application for professionals to create bootable USB drives using ISO images. Likewise its a handy application for recovery disks creation using optical disk images. User Interface of the application is quite simple and self-explaining. It allows its users to use all modules and options conveniently by enabling users to have full control over the removable drives. You can create Linux disks, prepare media for Windows installation and create recovery disks. You can also like PowerISO 7.3.

Furthermore, You can process all the functions without much efforts by using powerful set of mot useful tools. Application supports almost all famous file systems including ext2, exFAT, ext3 and others. You can remove or fix the boot files that are not executable on compressed NTFS partitions. Moreover, you can format all drives prior to create new bootable partitions. Also, the applications enables you to work with all types of ISO images and install Windows from bootable disk drives. Latest version includes a lot of enhancements and bugs fixes with improved work flow. Additionally, it provides good compatibility with the older BIOS versions. While concluding we can say Rufus 3 is one of the best applications to create bootable disk drives and recovery disks.

I used Rufus 3.15p to create an MBR bootable Windows 7 installer. An error occurred while the Rufus was copying the ISO file. Now the flash USB (SanDisk 8GB) does not work! In CMD Disk part shows "no media" instead of "online". Windows disk manager shows an empty disk with no media. In file manager just show a drive. Once I click on it, it shows "is not accessible A device which does not exist was specified". In properties, it doesn't show sizes and its partition style is MBR. Also, I cannot run check disk for this drive.

As Rufus is just writing sectors to a device there is no chance for Rufus to damage it.With Rufus being typically used to write ISO files (disk images) to flash drives it puts the drive under an above average load.There is no issue with excessive wear when doing that.But there is a higher probability of pre-existing errors being disclosed because a lot of sectors are being touched in a short period of time.

I would like to boot from a USB flash drive that I formatted & partitioned using RUFUS 3.15.1812. The flash drive has the free Norton bootable recovery tool. The file system is FAT32 & removable storage has a MBR partition.

When I go into BIOS (UEFI) by hitting the esc key I go into boot device options (F9) & I make sure that USB boot is enabled & when I try to select USB as the first place to boot from I cannot for some reason.

IF that is the case, I don't know what else to tell you other than trying to create a UEFI bootable USB stick of Windows media and seeing if that boots. If that boots, then there is something wrong with the Norton stick.

This script in nowadays will product the isolinx directory md5sum. Which is not hash on official Ubuntu's 20.04.2 image.(Maybe the wiki need to be modified. You can see the beginning of article is ubuntu-18.04-desktop-amd64.iso. But end of article is ubuntu-9.04.1-desktop-i386-custom.iso.)

This is normal. The problem is that efi.img gets mapped to the ESP (EFI System Partition), which Windows tries to mount after the USB is created and, when it does, it creates a System Volume Information\ directory in there. This is an (obnoxious) default Windows behaviour which we can't really control.

The end result is that the ESP is modified, which means that boot/grub/efi.img is modified and therefore the checksum doesn't match. This is however a benign problem that is not indicative of an actual issue.

The newly released Rufus 3.15 tried to add provisions against Windows altering the ESP, so that the checksum should match, but there's really only so much we can do against Windows' default behaviour, and, ideally, Ubuntu (and other distros) would probably be better off not trying to add more ISOHybrid hacks in order to map an ESP onto a file that gets checksummed, and instead just use a single partition, with the EFI and installation content, when the image is written in DD mode...
