ISO to USB (bootable)
ImageUSB is a free utility which lets you write an image concurrently to multiple 
USB Flash Drives. Capable of creating exact bit-level copies of USB Flash Drive 
(UFDs), ImageUSB is an extremely effective tool for the mass duplication of UFDs. 
ImageUSB also supports writing of an ISO file byte by byte directly to an USB 
drive (*). ImageUSB can also be used to install OSFClone to a USB Drive for use 
with PassMark OSForensics™.

====== Rufus ======


From: https://rufus.akeo.ie/


<code>
Rufus is a utility that helps format and create bootable USB flash drives, such 
as USB keys/pendrives, memory sticks, etc.
It can be especially useful for cases where:
 to create USB installation media from bootable ISOs (Windows, Linux, UEFI, etc.)
 to work on a system that doesn't have an OS installed
 to flash a BIOS or other firmware from DOS
 to run a low-level utility

For UEFI based systems

If your computer is UEFI based, these are normally systems that come pre-loaded with Windows 8 or 
later, you will need to prepare the ISO file for such a configuration or you will receive an error 
message during setup. The thumbdrive needs to be formatted as FAT32 and use the GPT partitioning 
scheme. To do this, you need to use Rufus, a small tool you can download for free.

Select GPT partitioning for UEFI firmware as the Partition scheme

This page describes rEFInd, my fork of the rEFIt boot manager for computers based on the Extensible 
Firmware Interface (EFI) and Unified EFI (UEFI). Like rEFIt, rEFInd is a boot manager, meaning that 
it presents a menu of options to the user when the computer first starts up, as shown below. rEFInd 
is not a boot loader, which is a program that loads an OS kernel and hands off control to it.
