Going on this path, I would need a virtual USB HDD. Rufus has a choice of flashing a USB drive: I'm also thinking of maybe burning the resulting disk image to CD/DVDs. Rufus is a small Open Source utility that helps format quickly and creates bootable USB flash drives, such as USB keys/pen drives, memory sticks, etc. Though, I've yet to find a virtual USB flash drive software. With nothing to configure, how can I mess it up? Is the idea.įirst thing that comes to mind is using a virtual USB flash drive that is writable, so Rufus will write to a disk image. From then on, I'll be using another flasher that writes the disk image in a RAW manner, one that does not save any bootloaders files to the USB drive. I thought whatever Rufus flashes to the USB drive, I might catch as a disk image & have it not just preserve the needed boot attributes, but also be as close of a binary copy. I thought that since I keep on setting the proper boot attributes whenever I need to flash & considering I MIGHT set it wrong, that's my 10 mins of flashing, gone. ![]() I have a single USB drive & when I need to switch to another distro/OS, I simply flash this USB drive with the right boot attributes, using Rufus. Basically, I require different Live USBs for different needs.
