An option to use a larger than 4GB casper-rw or live-rw persistent block file, (also known as an overlay image) is possible when the drive is formatted with an NTFS filesystem. Ubuntu based Casper persistence works with FAT32 or NTFS formatted drives. This persistence feature allows you to save some changes and then restore them on subsequent boots. However, it may be possible to recover lost drive space and then create an exFAT partition for continued storage purposes.Īnother key feature of UUI is the use of persistent storage, where available. The DD method of copying, also known as Data Destroyer works by overwriting the entire file system, making the device appear as a CD/DVD which is limited to the size of the ISO file.

Unlike tools which simply use the DD (Copy and Convert) command to directly burn an ISO to a USB flash drive, UUI includes several other methods that natively allow you to continue using your removable device for storage purposes, whilst including a “Try via DD” option. Once finished, you should have a ready to run Live USB containing the Live Operating System, Windows Installer, or System Diagnostics utility you previously selected. Simply choose your distribution from the list, browse to the ISO file, select your target flash drive, and then click Create. Popular Antivirus Scanners, Disk Cloning software or other System tools can also easily be made to run from the removable media.

Make a flash drive boot from a Live Linux distribution, Windows Installer, or fully Install and Run Windows 10 or 11 from USB using Windows to Go methods. This ISO to USB imaging tool allows users to easily Boot from USB. Universal USB Installer (Imager) aka UUI is a Live Linux Bootable USB Creator Software.
