Rufus Portable

Rufus Portable is a portable quick program for creating bootable flash drives from ISO-images and flash drive formatting. You can download Rufus Portable free for 32 and 64-bit Windows (XP to 10). The utility supports 39 languages, including Russian.

Using Rufus you can

• Get information about the technical parameters of a USB drive;
• Format a USB flash drive, memory card, PenDrive or USB keys;
• create an installation flash drive or USB keys;
• flash or update BIOS (basic input/output system) from under DOS;
• install an operating system on a computer or notebook;
• run low-level system utilities - when the PC does not boot the operating system, you need to repair damaged sectors on the hard drive or you need to check the RAM;
• run games which require the original disk to work.

If Rufus detects that a non-Latin keyboard layout is used when creating a DOS boot disk, the program will choose the layout that corresponds to the user's system settings and recommend FreeDOS by default - this free operating system supports more languages than MS DOS.

Rufus program works with ISO-images created by most common operating systems, as well as with several file systems, including NTFS, FAT32 and others.

In addition, the fully open source code allows interested users to develop and improve Rufus by offering their own add-ons.
