Create a bootable USB for DOS or Windows with Rufus USB
Rufus is a small program for converting a normal flash drive into a complete bootable USB from which you can directly start in DOS.
Configuring the program is as simple as inserting the device you want to format, marking the options you want, and clicking “start.” In just a few seconds your new bootable USB for DOS drive will be ready.
Rufus is a very small, light, helpful, and easy-to-use tool. If you need to start your computer in DOS for whatever reason, this is one of the best ways.
The program records all activity to a separate panel, and it can be saved to a LOG file. It carries out a formatting task rapidly and error-free, using low system resources. We have not come across any issues during our tests since the utility did not cause Windows to hang or crash. To sum it up, Rufus is a straightforward solution to formatting and creating a bootable USB drive, providing users with a series of useful features.
