Publisher's Description

Rufus is a small utility that helps format and create bootable USB flash drives, such as USB keys/pendrives, memory sticks, etc.

It can be be especially useful for cases where:

you need to create USB installation media from bootable ISOs (Windows, Linux, etc.)
you need to work on a system that doesn´t have an OS installed
you need to flash a BIOS or other firmware from DOS
you want to run a low-level utility

Despite its small size, Rufus provides you with everything you need!

Remember that once formatted, your drive is still usable as before to transfer data: it doesn´t have to be dedicated for DOS or ISO installation only.

What´s New in version 1.3.2:

Fix support for newer ArchLinux ISOs, that was removed in 1.3.1
Add support for UEFI boot, as well as GPT. What this means is that Rufus can now produce UEFI bootable UFDs from EFI compatible ISOs, such as Windows 7 x64, Windows 8, ArchLinux, etc.
The first partition is now always aligned to 1MB (unless advanced options are used)
Internal refactoring and fixes

FreewareFiles tested Rufus 1.3.2 on 2013-01-28 using leading antivirus scanners and found it 100% Clean. It does not contain any form of malware, spyware, viruses, trojans, etc. We will re-test each updated version and remove the award as well as the program if found infected.

Pros: Small & really does the job!

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: I just wish this would support formatting in UDF file system.

XP has autoruns that can infect flash drives, & formatting in UDF will 100% block all viruses from XP from infecting your flash drive.

XP can read from the UDF formatted flash drive, just not write to it, so it is 100% virus protection.

Vista/7/8 can read AND write to UDF USB drives.

Since 7 doesn't have same problem with viruses as XP, just format your USB to UDF under Windows 7 via command line, then add files using your Vista/7/8.

When you plug it into XP, you can run your programs without worry viruses will infect it since they cannot write back to flash drive.
