I didn’t have a spare flash drive already, so I ended up purchasing a 256 GB SanDisk Dual Drive Go, which happens to be one of our picks for the best USB flash drive. Storage capacity is also important, as we’re now long past the era of install media fitting on a 700MB CD-R - the Windows 11 installer is over 5 GB. If you have an old or cheap flash drive with poor read and write speeds, then it can take longer to boot up and perform installations. The current version of ImageUSB is v (2449 KB).Two factors matter the most for turning a USB drive into a boot drive: performance and storage capacity. In this scenario, users will need to reformat the UFD in order to access the rest of the storage space. For example, if a 2GB image is copied to an 8GB USB Flash Drive, the drive will only be able to use two out of the eight gigabytes of storage space. Warning: Due to the forensic nature of image duplication by ImageUSB, please ensure that you select UFDs with a storage size similar to the image you wish to duplicate. As of V1.5, imageUSB now supports extraction of ISO contents onto USB Drive. A reformat can recover the drive however. So the direct imaging of ISO9660, Joliet or UDF file system, from a CD, to a USB drive, might not allow the USB drive to function in all operating systems. (*) CD ISO images use a different file systems compared to USB drives. In addition, imageUSB has the ability to reformat even hard to format drives and reclaim any disk space that may be lost previously. Or alternatively to just Zero the MBR and/or GPT entries that exists on the drive. This will replace the contents of the entire drive with 0s. ImageUSB includes functionality to Zero a USB Flash Drive. ImageUSB can perform flawless mass duplications of all UFD images, including bootable UFDs. Unlike other USB duplication tools, ImageUSB can preserve all unused and slack space during the cloning process, including the Master Boot Record (MBR). ImageUSB can also be used to install OSFClone to a USB Drive for use with PassMark OSForensics™. ImageUSB also supports writing of an ISO file byte by byte directly to an USB drive (*). Capable of creating exact bit-level copies of USB Flash Drive (UFDs), ImageUSB is an extremely effective tool for the mass duplication of UFDs. ImageUSB is a free utility which lets you write an image concurrently to multiple USB Flash Drives.
