This feature is especially useful when you want to install software on live bootable drives. Basically, you can also flash the USB storage and even keep within. This enables you to save a particular amount of storage on the USB. A neat little feature called persistent storage. UNetbootin is the only software in this list that even lets you download the ISO from within the app. Just like the Windows USB/DVD tool, UNetBootin is designed to create bootable drives but only for Linux. No option to have persistent storage for other files on the USBĭownload Multiboot USB for Linux 6.Option to install syslinux or edit the configuration file.Ability to write multiple ISOs and firmware on a single USB drive.Compared to Rufus, it lacks all the advanced options. WoeUSB is more of a utility rather than software that lets you create bootable Windows USB on Linux. It is tricky to install WoeUSB, follow closely the instructions on the WoeUSB GitHub Wiki page. ![]() It also supports the legacy BIOS and the latest UEFI firmware mode. WoeUSB supports Windows from Vista to the latest Windows 10. It handles all the complexities by itself.

Any help is appreciated.Rufus is a popular app to create a USB Bootable flash drive for Windows but unfortunately, it doesn’t exist for Linux. Either way.does anyone know how in the world to get a bootable FreeNAS drive created so I can install the OS? This is crazy to me that a process so simple is being such a fricken hassle. I'm assuming it's pulling a "I know best", but I tried an older version on another computer and got the same results any way. With Rufus (version 3.8), something I'm really not liking is that when I select my iso, FreeNAS-11.2-U6, it greys out all of my options. I can't access this partition no matter what I try, it will not allow me to interact with it, and nothing (3 computers) recognize it as a usable drive. 32GB drive, 16GB drives it doesn't matter. ![]() I have tried Etcher, and got the same result. All I get, regardless of what I change out is an unrecognizable drive, with one unformatted partition and another partition listed as Healthy (GPT Protective Partition) that is 574 MBs (the ISO's contents I CAN'T GET TO). the past 3 hours I have been trying different USB drives, different computers to try and create a recognizable bootable USB to install FreeNAS.
