Then we connect the flash drive to the computer and wait until it is detected by the system.

The device must be formatted in the FAT32 file system format. But if you didn’t do this, don’t worry. The program will automatically do all the necessary manipulations. If your device contains files that are valuable to you, copy them to any other medium. After formatting, all data will be deleted.

After saving all the important data, the time has come to record the image. To do this, in the program window, click on the item, and in the list that opens, select “Burn a hard disk image...”.

After formatting the flash drive, it's time to burn the image to it. To do this, click "Record".

Refusal of the disk drive allows you to do mobile device lighter and thinner. But, at the same time, users encounter some difficulties in their work. For example, in order to install Windows 7 on a device without a disk drive, you have to create bootable flash drives. In this material we will talk about how to burn a Windows 7 image to a flash drive using UltraISO.

A disk image is an exact digital copy of the files that were written to the disk. Images turn out to be useful in various situations when it is not possible to use a disk or for storing information that constantly has to be rewritten to disks. However, you can burn images not only to a disk, but also to a flash drive, and this article will show you how to do this.

To write an image to a disk or flash drive, you need one of the following, and one of the most popular programs UltraISO is of this kind. In this article we will look in detail at how to burn a disk image to a flash drive.

First, you need to figure out why you need to burn a disk image to a flash drive. And there are many answers here, but the most popular reason for this is Windows entry to a flash drive for installation from a USB drive. You can burn Windows to a flash drive using UltraISO just like any other image, and the advantage of writing to a flash drive is that they deteriorate less often and last much longer than regular disks.

But you can write a disk image to a flash drive not only for this reason. For example, you can create a copy of a licensed disc in this way, which will allow you to play without using the disc; however, you will still have to use a flash drive, but this is much more convenient.

Burning an image

Now that we have figured out why you might need to write a disk image to a flash drive, let’s proceed to the procedure itself. First, we need to open the program and insert the USB flash drive into the computer. If there are files on the flash drive that you need, then copy them, otherwise they will be lost forever.

It is better to run the program as an administrator so that there are no problems with rights.

After the program starts, click “Open” and find the image that you need to burn to the USB flash drive.

Now make sure that the parameters highlighted in the image below match the settings in your program.

If your flash drive is not formatted, then you should click “Format” and format it in file system FAT32. If you have already formatted the flash drive, then click “Burn” and agree that all information will be erased.

After this, all that remains is to wait (about 5-6 minutes per 1 gigabyte of data) for the end of recording. When the program finishes recording, you can safely turn it off and use your flash drive, which can now essentially replace a disk.

If you followed everything exactly according to the instructions, then the name of your flash drive should change to the name of the image. In this way, you can burn any image to a flash drive, but the most useful quality of this function is that this way you can reinstall the system from a flash drive without using a disk.
