It was originally designed in 2011 to replace the HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool for Windows, used mainly to create boot USB devices.
Rufus is an open-source portable tool available for Microsoft Windows, and it is used to create and format USB disks and pen drives. Now, you can boot your live system with persistence. Once finished, you can boot your live CD with persistence. When a warning prompts to inform you about disk data deletion, press OK to continue. Once executed, select your USB device, the ISO image, the size of the persistent partition (Note: If zero, there will be no persistence), and select GPT on the partition scheme drop-down menu.Īfter selecting the correct options, press the START button to start the process. Rufus will ask if you want it to check for updates, press the preferred options in order to continue.
