Now my SanDisk USB flash drive is bootable and I can use it to install Windows 8.1 on any computer that supports USB bootable.I am betting that most of you would agree with me when I say that “Windows is one of the best Operating System right now.” and thanks to Rufus for providing a very easy and straightforward way to help us install the newest version available on our computers and laptops with the use of a USB flash drive.In this example, it took about 20 minutes to create bootable USB from Windows 8.1 installation DVD (4 GB). Wait for Rufus copying files to USB drive.You will be asked to confirm that all data on selected USB device will be deleted.Click an icon next to the drop-down option to browse an ISO image file.Select ISO Image from the drop down option.Make sure that the check box Create a bootable disk using is checked.In this example, I have my USB flash drive, SanDisk Cruzer Fit (8 GB), connected on ‘F’ drive. Select your USB flash drive from the drop-down option Device.You don’t need to install Rufus, just run the downloaded file to open Rufus and follow steps below:.Download Rufus from and scroll down to download section and click on Rufus to download.In this article, I will show how to make my USB flash drive, SanDisk Cruzer Fit (8 GB), bootable using Windows 8.1 installation ISO image with Rufus. It also has full support on UEFI and GPT. It works only on Windows, but you can use it to create any bootable operating system. It can create USB installation media from bootable ISOs (Windows, Linux, UEFI, Hiren’s, etc.). Rufus is a free software (GNU GPLv3) that can format and create bootable USB flash drives. So I’m going to recommend another tool which works great and have no problem. Last time, I wrote an article about how to create bootable USB with UNetbootin which is a good tool, but there might be some issue with large image file (NTFS file system). If you want to reinstall operating system on your PC or laptop, you can install it from USB flash drive which is very easy and faster compare with optical drive like CD, or DVD.
