※ Download: Rufus iso image extraction failure
If you use that original ISO in Rufus, do you get the same issue? Testing Log output Somehow, I'm starting to think that your machine may have some restrictions applied, which may explain what we're experiencing...
Instead you go to switch from NTFS to Fat32 and then back to NTFS and then you get the option to select an ISO. But it seems to have problems booting from some dell systems. Waiting for logical drive to reappear...

This is a quick bugfix release, as 1. It also fixes a potential issue where minint WinPE 1. Unless more bugfixes are needed, this should be the last version from the 1. Akeo - Rufus v1. My home computer broke down - lucky I had made a test usb-stick preparing for win update day tuesday - never tried it before - but it worked just fine. Installed an nLited win xp sp3 + updates.

You will understand, as a single developer of a free application, I can't test every single Linux distribution out there, especially if they require subscription. As to the slow copy, this is also expected if the ISO contains a large amount of small files. If I had all the time in the world, I would probably try to improve on this, by not letting Windows handle the FAT32 write operations, but instead adding my own FAT32 layer in Rufus and treating the USB as a raw block device since we're formatting the whole thing anyway , especially as this sounds like an interesting challenge, but for now, we have to content with the FS limitations of Windows, which makes writes of a large number of small files to a FAT32 USB an excruciatingly slow process... Or you can try one of the tools that deal with ISO emulation and can use the ISO file as a whole. Did the ISO extraction process appear to freeze, or did you still see file progress when you cancelled it? Well, currently Rufus uses fmifs. However, since it writes the MBR and partition boot record, it has access the physical or logical drive in raw mode and it already makes use of this - see below. With regards to using that capability for speeding up the extraction process, since Rufus also currently doesn't bother about partition preservation, one could probably reuse one of the FAT libraries out there, and just fill FAT blocks in memory with the ISO content, so that only large blocks of raw data are ever transferred to the device. The expectation there is that, by constructing the FAT content in RAM, we should then be able to get close to the theoretical USB writing speeds when writing the raw data. Now, if your question isn't about speedups but with regards to actual low-level formatting, the bad-blocks check of Rufus can very much be used as a low-level formatting utility. Depending on the number of passes you select, it will write 0xAA, 0x55, 0xFF and 0x00 for the whole physical drive, including the MBR. Whether 0x00 or another value is used when filling the drive shouldn't matter much, so I very much consider that Rufus can be used as a low-level formatting tool. Can you elaborate on the low level formatting abilities of Rufus? That's an interesting feature. I guess there is still some confusion on this. Low level formatting is something of the past. If you have a chance to run that test again, it would be interesting to have running, as Rufus sends a lot of information there, and it may tell us what the extraction issue was. Can you please provide the full name of the ISO you used and where you got it from? If I can get my hands on it or on a similar one , I'll give it a try. Also, can you tell the version of Windows you were running Rufus on? That way I dont forget and not have to look for them. Will test the USb Stick on a Laptop and report after finishing the test. You used the Alt-F cheat mode to enable the listing of your drive, right? Or was the drive listed without doing anything special Test 2: So far so good Test 3: I just created a Live XP 2012 ISO using Windows XP SP3 EN, MSDN and the default options, and it extracted and booted just fine. The resulting ISO was 303 MB. Can you please tell the ISO you used as source in WinBuilder? If you use that original ISO in Rufus, do you get the same issue? If not, can you try a Live XP 2012 generated ISO with the default options? Also can you please run Rufus with running, as it usually provides a more explicit report of what the problem was. Test 1: Rufus does not officially support USB HDDs. You used the Alt-F cheat mode to enable the listing of your drive, right? Or was the drive listed without doing anything special Should have been more specific. So it should boot using a regular iso. But it seems to have problems booting from some dell systems. Test 3: I just created a Live XP 2012 ISO using Windows XP SP3 EN, MSDN and the default options, and it extracted and booted just fine. The resulting ISO was 303 MB. Can you please tell the ISO you used as source in WinBuilder? Seems to be working. If not, can you try a Live XP 2012 generated ISO with the default options? What are suppose to be the default options. I just noticed that it has NTFS selected. And on first run when I select the USB stick no option to select ISO is given. I have to run the the program once to auto quick format and create extended label before I can choose an ISO. Does it matter if its NTFS or Fat32. Im given option to select ISO. But if Ntfs is select as default first then It does let one pick the ISO. Dont know how to use that. Sorry for the late reply. What are suppose to be the default options. For Rufus, these would be the options that are selected after you pick the ISO. But I was talking about the default Live XP options, which you got further down. I just noticed that it has NTFS selected. And on first run when I select the USB stick no option to select ISO is given. That shouldn't be the case... If you have an USB device selected, the ISO option should not be grayed out. I'm curious to see what DebugView says when it detects your drive. I have to run the the program once to auto quick format and create extended label before I can choose an ISO. I'd like to be able to reproduce that problem. Does it matter if its NTFS or Fat32. For anything Windows, NTFS is the only option you can use. Rufus does not support booting Windows outside of NTFS. With regards to DebugView, just run and it will populate data automatically you don't really have to do anything. If the data is too big, you will find my e-mail on the. I'm afraid these logs don't contain any messages from Rufus... Somehow, I'm starting to think that your machine may have some restrictions applied, which may explain what we're experiencing... Your help is much appreciated, as I'm hoping we can figure out what's wrong and prevent others from running into the same problems. I'm afraid these logs don't contain any messages from Rufus... Testing Log output Somehow, I'm starting to think that your machine may have some restrictions applied, which may explain what we're experiencing... I dont think I have any restriction on myself. You can watch the swf's on youre browse. Just copy the address to the address bar. Option1 Test 1 Shows what happens and how I use the Start button to fix the no option to select an ISO on first run. I think this happens when you have empty MIcro and SD card reader as drives and no SD card is in them. Instead you go to switch from NTFS to Fat32 and then back to NTFS and then you get the option to select an ISO. It would be nice if Rufus could integrate Grub MBR writing, in this case w7pese starts normally but with BootMgr instead of Grub4Dos is it so dificult vs others boot options? It would be nice too, to be able to launch Rufus with cmdline options eg: ISO predefined, drive letter, file system for a better integration in others projects.
Running Rufus on a different computer; If using an ISO image, I clicked on the button at the bottom of the Rufus. I'd like to be able to reproduce that problem. Especially with USB 3. Sau đó, bạn thử cắm USB sang lỗ USB khác vào tạo USB Boot lại, nếu vẫn lỗi thì bạn thực hiện các bươc tiếp theo. Low level formatting is something of the past. For anything Windows, NTFS is the only option you can use. I'm trying to create a bootable Windows 7 USB on a Windows 7 system. Waiting for logical drive to reappear.
