Rufus Download Error

[Dominik Ransom]

Im trying to install Ubuntu 16.04 from a USB drive. I'm using Rufus to create a bootable stick, but everytime I click start, it starts, and then gives the error ISO image extraction failure. What can I do?

for me the case was that I deleted the rufus_files folder rufus created when it's ran for the very first time. Actually, I keep a different folder for softwares, so i only copied .exe after i did my first iso extraction with rufus and deleted the folder (rufus_files).

I was trying to create the bootable USB from my office laptop and got in to this issue. I have read many solutions and it didn't work out.From one answer they said it might be due to the anti-virus effect and i tried using my personal laptop and it did work out.

In my case, the USB drive was encrypted with BitLocker. I had to remove BitLocker from the drive before it worked. In Windows, just search for BitLocker from the start menu, and see if BitLocker-To-Go is enabled for your drive. Disabling it, then trying Rufus again to write Ubuntu to the drive worked.

I wanted to make a bootable USB drive using Rufus. I opened the program went with all the default options and I clicked start BUT what I forgot to do is to select an iso because I thought it would just make the disk bootable without selecting anything. Unfortunately it did not. It gave me an error. I do not remember it because this was about 6 months ago after I gave up in fixing it. Anyway I tried to reformat it again using diskpart and it fails. With Rufus it says "ERROR while partitioning drive" and I think that was the initial error as well. Also during the struggle I got messages from windows saying that the disk is write protected and NO, there is no switch for that on the USB pendrive.

A very common indicator that the flash memory on your USB drive became defective, and that the USB controller switched to read-only mode to give you a chance to read your data, if possible. Flash memory is not everlasting and will fail as you use it, eventually. This can happen while using Rufus or while simply copying files using Windows Explorer.

It kinda feels odd answering your own question. Anyway I fixed the flash by using Transcend's very own flash drive recovery software that is available on their website. I guess Ill only be buying external storage from Transcend and I would recommend everybody else to buy their products just because of this. Also, when I see lots of people saying that your flash drive became defective or something I just do not want to believe them especially when your product is still new or not that old for I have proved the 'experts' wrong right here!

I recently posted a question about my logstash pipeline at some point (seemingly) randomly not updating the jdbc metadata for sql_last_value substitution. For completeness, I'll include the input plugin of my configuration here. As output to ES is not the problem, I won't include the output or filtering here, but are available in the above link.

So in the same pipeline cycle the scheduler throws this error, the pipeline fails to schedule the next cycle. Coincidence? I think not. However, this part of the rufus scheduler error really throws me off.

Strangely, as the recorded JDBC timestamps show, the timestamps are written at least 21 minutes past 2am CEST. I would understand that Logstash prevents the timestamp write if it did it for all times past 2am, but if it's already writing at 2:21am, why stop suddenly at 2:27 due to an issue that will become a problem on the 27th of March, 2022?

I assume that the jdbc plugin can be used on a minute schedule, but wherein lies the problem with my implementation? Do I perhaps need to incorporate the timezone into the schedule, as here with the cited example 0 6 * * * America/Chicago?

The pipeline was attempting to rewrite all timestamps from the database into the timezone CET. This was, as @Badger has indicated, a problem because any timestamp between 2 and 3 in the morning on the 27th of march will not exist, as time will roll forward. So, how did we deal with this?

After some testing, it seemed that the conflict was occurring between how our machines were storing / retrieving timestamps from the database. So we removed jdbc timezone information from our configuration, which then defaults the timestamp to UTC. Then, looking into our database properties, we noticed that our DB is set in UTC, so we should never have been using this argument, as according to the jdbc plugin docu, If your database timezone is UTC then you do not need to set either of these settings.

The remaining step was to find another strategy of saving the metadata timestamp, so that it too was saved in UTC. After struggling to get the query run timestamp to be saved in UTC and understood as UTC in the next scheduled run, we ultimately decided on saving the timestamp by tracking the modification timestamp column of our jdbc requests. In other words, the metadata timestamps are now saved in a timestamp format from the DB Column, as opposed to the timestamp Logstash saves in local time.

To any struggling with timestamp issues, I would suggest finding a way to bring all your timestamps into a singular TZ to avoid this struggle, especially if you're using these metadata timestamps in your SQL WHERE clause. UTC is naturally the TZ of choice, as you won't have to worry about these DST problems from timestamps that don't exist.

Hi, this post is just a information for people like me, that fall into the same trap when trying to create an bootable usb stick of a HPE Service Pack for ProLiant with rufus and get an error like "Unable to mount the file system [cdrom]" at boot. Because there are a set of information i collected, i want to share this with others.

Problem:

First thing, why you are trying to make a bootable usb stick, may because you have a slow internet connection for update inside intelligent provisioning or the downloads in intelligent provisioning fail. So now you picked up a mess when:

You try to write a usb flash drive with the iso image of HPE ProLiant Service Pack - SPP AND you decide to write the image with Rufus (my version is 3.4 with standard settings) because, as like me, you know Rufus as one of the fastest an simplest usb tools. Thereforce it was your first choice. However afterwards, your ProLiant Server won't boot from the stick or he does not recognize it as bootable, or you getting mount errors.

Some people say:

Rufus finds two config files, one at /usb/isolinux.cfg and another at /system/isolinux.cfg. It picks the one at /usb but this is the wrong one, and points to it at \syslinux.cfg. So you have to edit \syslinux.cfg and change it to:

In my tests, this was true for usb sticks greater 32GB. Without the syslinux.cfg corrections the usb stick was not recognized at boot time (F11). But it had no impact on sticks with or below 32GB. There it makes no difference which of the two isolinux.cfg the syslinux.cfg file points to. They always where recognized and booting. But:

I did my best, but at this point i have to say, there's no "rufus-way" to get the "very special" HP SPP ISO working. At the end, the syslinux version used inside the ISO and that used by rufus is not compatible. At least i did'nt find it get working.

I've run to this problem and tried everything on a ML150 G9, I used Ventoy and bang! It works every time with any kind of ISO. After you installed it on the USB Stick, you just need to drop the ISOs inside of it.

i did not know ventoy before. I gave it a try and played arround with that tool. Very nice!

Such a simple way for running iso bootable things. I tried with Service Pack Proliant and a lot of other iso's i have. All boot up wonderful. Thank you for that nice tool tip

If you change the top syslinux.cfg as described above, and then change "cdrom" to "usb" in system/isolinux.cfg and in boot/grub/grub.cfg, it will work. At least in BIOS mode which is good enough for SPP. There are more files to change for EFI /UEFI mode.

The usbkey.exe file is located in \usb\usbkey folder of the SPP 2020.03.2 package. When using this tool to create a bootable USB SPP 2020.03.2, the usbkey will not function properly and the server will boot to a 'grub>' prompt.

When I run my integration tests (rspec, capybara, selenium-driver), some of my tests randomly fail due to rufus-scheduler timeout errors. Is there a way to silence rufus-scheduler errors or disable rufus altogether in the test environment? I am not a fan of doing rails_env=test on my code base so any other solution would be appreciated.

Also, rufus-scheduler doesn't raise instances of Timeout::Error, it raises instances of Rufus::Scheduler::TimeoutError so the errors you are seeing are not rufus-scheduler errors, they are merely intercepted by rufus-scheduler.

As commented above, as the author of rufus-scheduler, I did not write rufus-scheduler to read titles like "Rufus scheduler breaking integration tests", YOUR code assemblage breaks YOUR integration tests. Do take responsibility.

Rufus enables users to create a bootable USB flash drive from an ISO file. And supports various bootable ISO files, including some Linux distributions and Windows installation ISO files, as well as raw disk image files. It allows users to format USB flash drives to FAT, NTFS, FAT32, exFAT, UDF, and ReFS file systems, set cluster sizes, and edit volume labels.

From the above, you may know the definition of Rufus and it is widely used by Windows users. However, some users reported that they encounter the Rufus error while formatting drive. What causes the Rufus undetermined error while formatting on Windows? This issue can occur due to the possible reasons listed as follows:

For some reason, you may experience the Rufus undetermined error while formatting issue. To help you solve this annoying issue, this post collects several possible solutions. You can try them one by one until the error gets fixed.

Step 1: Download and install MiniTool Partition Wizard on your computer. Then launch it to get its main interface, and then select the target drive and click on Check File System from the left action panel.
