Depending on the number of passes you select, it will write 0xAA, 0x55, 0xFF and 0x00 for the whole physical drive, including the MBR. Now, if your question isn't about speedups but with regards to actual low-level formatting, the bad-blocks check of Rufus can very much be used as a low-level formatting utility. The expectation there is that, by constructing the FAT content in RAM, we should then be able to get close to the theoretical USB writing speeds when writing the raw data. With regards to using that capability for speeding up the extraction process, since Rufus also currently doesn't bother about partition preservation, one could probably reuse one of the FAT libraries out there, and just fill FAT blocks in memory with the ISO content, so that only large blocks of raw data are ever transferred to the device. However, since it writes the MBR and partition boot record, it has access the physical or logical drive in raw mode and it already makes use of this - see below. Did the ISO extraction process appear to freeze, or did you still see file progress when you cancelled it? Well, currently Rufus uses fmifs.

Or you can try one of the tools that deal with ISO emulation and can use the ISO file as a whole. If I had all the time in the world, I would probably try to improve on this, by not letting Windows handle the FAT32 write operations, but instead adding my own FAT32 layer in Rufus and treating the USB as a raw block device since we're formatting the whole thing anyway, especially as this sounds like an interesting challenge, but for now, we have to content with the FS limitations of Windows, which makes writes of a large number of small files to a FAT32 USB an excruciatingly slow process. As to the slow copy, this is also expected if the ISO contains a large amount of small files.

My home computer broke down - lucky I had made a test usb-stick preparing for win update day tuesday - never tried it before - but it worked just fine. Unless more bugfixes are needed, this should be the last version from the 1. It also fixes a potential issue where minint WinPE 1. But it seems to have problems booting from some dell systems. Instead you go to switch from NTFS to Fat32 and then back to NTFS and then you get the option to select an ISO. If you use that original ISO in Rufus, do you get the same issue? Testing Log output Somehow, I'm starting to think that your machine may have some restrictions applied, which may explain what we're experiencing. вЂ» Download: ?dl&keyword=rufus+iso+image+extraction+failure&source=
