Tools to write image or .ISO file to a USB Flash drive:

Here at balena we have thousands of users working through our getting started process and until recently we were embarassed about the steps that involved flashing an SD card. There was a separate track for each Mac/Windows/Linux and several manual and error-prone steps along the way.

To our surprise there was nothing out there that fit our needs. So we built Etcher, an SD card flasher app that is simple for end users, extensible for developers, and works on any platform.


Create bootable USB drives the easy way

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:

  • you need to create USB installation media from bootable ISOs (Windows, Linux, UEFI, etc.)
  • you need to work on a system that doesn't have an OS installed
  • you need to flash a BIOS or other firmware from DOS
  • you want to run a low-level utility

Despite its small size, Rufus provides everything you need!



Win32DiskImager open source tool to write .ISO files to USB Flash drive or microSD card

This program is designed to write a raw disk image to a removable device or backup a removable device to a raw image file. It is very useful for embedded development, namely Arm development projects (Android, Ubuntu on Arm, etc). Anyone is free to branch and modify this program. Patches are always welcome.

This release is for Windows 7/8.1/10. It will should also work on Windows Server 2008/2012/2016 (although not tested by the developmers). For Windows XP/Vista, please use v0.9 (in the files archive).

Descrição do PuppyLinux Fatdog64 em Português



Fatdog64: Uma distribuição potente para instalar no pen drive USB!

Com um arquivo de instalação de menos de 450MB, é possível instalar uma distribuição Linux leve e cheia de recursos úteis para estudantes e professores direto no pen drive USB, sem necessidade de instalação na máquina e alteração das instalações do Windows, Linux e macOS. O Fatdog64, originalmente um derivado do PuppyLinux, é uma das melhores distribuições nessa categoria de uso e pode ressuscitar aquele computador antigo que você pensava que não tinha mais utilidade. O Fatdog64 também é útil como um sistema de reserva para o caso de o teu computador não iniciar o sistema. Você pode inclusive testar o Fatdog64 na página Distro Test sem precisar baixar ou instalar nada (instruções mais adiante). Experimente hoje mesmo o Fatdog64!

Requisitos mínimos de sistema: CPU de 64 bits x8664/AMD64 e 1 GB de RAM. A maioria dos processadores Intel e AMD produzidos após 2008 suportam 64 bits (inclusive muitos Intel Atoms).

Página da Distro Test para experimentar o Fatdog64 versão 801 direto do teu navegador de internet, sem a necessidade de baixar ou instalar nada:  Fatdog64 versão 801 na Distro Test (em inglês)

Vídeo demonstrativo do Fatdog64 no YouTube:
https://youtube.com/watch?v=Nvg-JqttWiY

Instruções para a instalação do Fatdog64 no pen drive USB:
Obtenha o arquivo .ISO no endereço http://distro.ibiblio.org/fatdog/iso/Fatdog64-810.iso
(ou você pode acessar a lista de arquivos .ISO no endereço http://distro.ibiblio.org/fatdog/iso para obter uma versão mais atualizada). Depois use um programa para gravar essa imagem no pen drive; os programas recomendados são o Rufus (para Windows) e o BalenaEtcher (para Windows, macOS e Linux). No Linux também é possível usar o comando ‘dd’: “dd bs=4M if=Fatdog64-810.iso of=sdX” (sdX pode ser sdb, sdc ou sdd, conforme a configuração do teu sistema). Com estas instruções, você terá criado um pen drive USB que vai funcionar como se fosse um sistema instalado na tua máquina, porém sem necessidade de instalação. Teus arquivos e configurações caminharão sempre contigo no pen drive! Atenção: Como um pen drive é pequeno e fácil de perder, não se esqueça de fazer backup regularmente para não correr o risco de ficar sem teus arquivos importantes.

Com apenas 10 minutos, 2 transferências de arquivos, e 1 unidade USB disco você pode testar uma distribuição Linux à tua escolha sem precisar instalar no computador!  Experimente o Fatdog64 versão 810!

Caso o teu computador não consiga executar um sistema de 64 bits, experimente o BionicPup 8.0, que possui versão para 32 e 64 bits: Puppylinux.com  BionicPup 8.0.

Informações técnicas do Fatdog64 810:
O Fatdog64810 versão final foi lançado em 20 de janeiro de 2020.
O Fatdog64810 GNU/Linux é o quarto lançamento da série 800 do Fatdog64, a qual é baseada no Linux From Scratch 8.2/Cross Linux From Scratch 2017.07.
Esta é uma atualização de manutenção. As principais razões para a atualização são as falhas de segurança Intel ZombieLoad/DMS as quais requerem uma atualização do núcleo do sistema e do microcódigo da CPU, incluídas nesta atualização.

Upgrade your slow HOME computer with Zorin15

Upgrade your slow HOME computer with Zorin15 Linux or Puppy Linux operating system.


Yes, you might need to use all windows software to interact with your companies windows desktops.  In that case, you can dual boot your computer with both Windows and Linux.


Thereby needing to continue with Windows 10 Operating System software, but you might find that you can perform your work at home with a Linux Operating System and Linux application programs.
So If the local shop is fresh out of hardware to buy,  How does a free software download sound?  Good?

10 minutes, 2 downloads, 1 USB flash drive to give Linux a spin on this laptop in front of you.

If you feel your laptop could use a speed boost, but your wallet is sparsely populated with cash.  Test drive a live linux on your present Windows laptop hardware or desktop.

2nd option, consider purchasing a cheap 120GB  SSD SATA 2.5" drive to either install internally to replace the hard drive in your laptop  or connect externally via USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 cable to a USB 3.0 to SATA drive enclosure with the SSD placed inside.


120GB 2.5"  SATA SSDs



3rd option here is a 32GB, 64GB, or 128GB single USB 3.0 Flash Drive.

usb flash drive


https://opensource.com/article/20/3/open-source-working-home  Here are some tools you can use Free, from your work at home site. 

Google some of these next items, to find their website.
ZorinOS 15 Lite is a free download that you can try booting live from a USB flash drive. 
Fatdog64 Puppylinux can also be installed into a USB flash drive and booted from USB flash drive without changing a thing on your Windows Computer.  Just hit the F12, F10 or ESC   BIOS boot drive select key to select which disk drive to boot up from.  Choose the external USB Flash Disk.

So don't have a USB Flash Drive handy?
  Lick Installer .EXE file works on your present windows PC to install a puppylinux version 8.0  or Fatdog64 in a single file on your existing Windows C:\ disk.

google Linux4everyone linux4everyone.com ,   Listen to one of Jason Evangelho's podcasts.  Read his Linux Gaming articles at Forbes.com  https://www.forbes.com/sites/jasonevangelho/#7565da20d36f

Enjoy the software and hardware that you have now.  If you feel Windows is too slow when working remotely from home,  maybe changing over to ZorinOS Linux and a SSD SATA 2.5" inch drive will improve your work flow.  Maybe using PuppyLinux 8.0 or Fatdog64 810 (includes LibreOffice 6.1.2) from a USB flash drive will help you out.
10 minutes, 2 downloads, 1 usb flash drive is all that it requires.   You have the time and means now that you are home.

super-grub2-disk website. Look for file supergrub2_x86-64.EFI.

Copy file to the EFI fat32 boot partition among the other UEFI boot files.  Use this supergrub2_x86-64.EFI boot file to help select / manage which partition you wish to boot when grub is borked.  Supergrub2 will search and display all the bootable partition/files and give you the choice to select which one to boot.

I like the Fatdog64 810 release for GParted app to partition a SSD or a hard drive, and I like LibreOffice 6.1.2 app for ability to export PDF files from a document file. Last, the ability
to import pictures from smart phone using MTP media Transport Protocol to my puppylinux usb flash drive.  All very fast execution.  This Fatdog64 810 release is a great tool to carry around on a USB flash drive in your pants pockets for when a friends computer has problems.
