How to use UltraISO, creating bootable disks with it?

Ever since the flash drives were firmly in use, optical discs were safely forgotten. They began to replace the latter even in those areas where the disks traditionally "held defense." Take at least installing the operating system. Yes, you can use all the same CDs for this purpose, but to this day it is difficult to find computers that do not support the boot option with Flash.

In this regard, there is always a demand for programs that allow you to create different versions of bootable disks and flash drives. Let's figure out how to use UltraISO, because it's not only one of the most popular, but also one of the most convenient and effective programs of this class.

The general recognition of the application is not least due to the fact that there is a basic and completely free version, which for our users sometimes is a decisive aspect when choosing software. The only limitation when working with the program in trial mode is the maximum file size, but in most cases this is not deadly at all. So how to use UltraISO, if you need to create a boot image?

We need the program itself, which must be installed on the computer. In addition, you need an installation disc with the operating system or application you need. It should be remembered that UltraISO MAC supports, and with it you can create bootable discs even for "apple" computers. However, we will consider the case with Windows, since this operating system is most common on the computers of our users.

We put the disk in the drive, we wait for its definition. Then you must run the Ultra ISO program. In the menu bar select "Tools", and in the drop-down list click on "Create CD image". In the dialog box that appears, select your drive, the future location of the disk image, and the format of the file to be created. We recommend using the standard ISO file type. Click on the button "Make", and after a few minutes you are the owner of the finished image.

So, with this, everything is clear. After that, we need a flash drive with a size of 4GB, which should be formatted. This process is better done in the FAT32 file system. Again, run the program, look for the image you recently recorded in its main window. Select it by clicking on the icon with the left mouse button, then we search for the item "Bootstrap" in the toolbar . After opening it, click on "Burn hard disk image".

Before using UltraISO to write it to a USB flash drive, carefully check the paths to all files in order to avoid errors and information loss. Beginners generally better to disconnect all the flash drives (except for the one on which the recording will go) from the computer. Detached and checked? Then click on the "Record" button, after which we wait for some time, which depends on the power of your PC.

Actually, the creation of a bootable removable disk is over. You can reboot the computer, set the BIOS boot from it and install the system. We hope that the article on how to use UltraISO turned out to be useful for you.
