Make a bootable pendrive in Windows

 Make a bootable pendrive in Windows

PREREQUISITES:-
Firstly, You will need a usb drive (at least 4 gb ) and a windows or ubuntu iso file.
Secondly, you need to download the tool called Rufus that makes it too easy to accomplish this task even for a noob. There are many other tools available on the net. I prefer Rufus because it’s fast!
STEP 1:
  • Execute the downloaded file.
  • Now, after the window opens, check if your pendrive appears in the top OR select from the dropdownlist if you have plugged in multiple pendrives. This indicates that the pendrive is detected.
  • Next, select the ISO image option from the dropdown list.1
STEP 2:
  • Browse though your folders and select your preferred ISO image.
  • You don’t need to make any changes, if its a windows .iso it will automatically select the NTFS file system and if it is a ubuntu it will switch to FAT32 .

STEP 3:
  • Click Start , a message will appear  saying that all of you USB data will be deleted and the USB would be  formatted .
  • If you have any files on your usb now it is the last time you can backup them.
  • Click OK.
Wait for the process to be completed. It would take approximately 4-5 minutes to finish, depending on your USB speed. Finally, click Close and you are good to go!
