Burning an image to UltraISO
So, in order to write our image to a USB drive, we take a few simple steps:
- First of all, insert the USB flash drive into the USB port of the computer. Next, go to UltraISO and, using the "File" menu, open Windows Explorer and select the image that we will write to the USB flash drive. We can also replace this action with the hotkey combination [knopka]Ctrl[/knopka]+[knopka]O[/knopka] on your keyboard.
- For example, in our case, an image of the Microsoft Windows operating system will be taken. When the object is opened, we will see its file system in the right part of the program window. To start writing data to a USB flash drive, you need to open the "Boot" main menu item, and then select the "Burn hard disk images" sub-item.
