Overview
Rufus Portable is a utility that helps format and Create Bootable USB Flash Drives, such as USB keys or pen drives, memory sticks, etc. It can be especially useful for cases where you need to create USB installation media from bootable ISOs (Windows, Linux, etc.), to work on a system that doesn't have an OS installed, to flash a BIOS or other firmware from DOS, and to run a low-level utility.
