Creating a bootable USB flash drive in UltraISO

In order to make a bootable USB flash drive, you need to follow this algorithm:

Download the required Windows 10 disk image from the Internet.
Once it downloads, open it in the Ultra ISO utility.
Once this is done, select the self-download section.
Click on the “burn hard disk image” section to burn to a flash drive.
When the pop-up window appears, click on the name of the media, and then on the “Record” button. Agree to the license agreement, and then wait for the process to complete.

Please note that for full recording you need to have administrator rights. Otherwise an error will occur.

If, instead of making a Windows installation flash drive, you want to create a disk, you should click on the “Burn CD image” button located on the toolbar. When a new window appears, select the required drive, and then click on the “Burn” button. After that, wait until the process is completed.

Remember that the developers have added the possibility of hidden recording, and have also already set values acceptable for recording. If you set the Hide Boot Partition to Hidden, you will not be able to detect the recording media, because it will be hidden. Take this into account when changing settings.

Burning an image to a disk or flash drive

Burning an image to a flash drive in Ultra ISO

To write Windows to a flash drive, you need to adhere to this algorithm. First, let's perform the usual and expected actions: launch the application and insert the USB flash drive into the port.

Please note that the files on the media will be erased, so it is better to save them in another location in advance.

Burning ISO to USB must be done with administrator rights to avoid problems. So, follow these steps:

After everything starts, you should click on the “open file” section, and then start searching for the image you need to burn.
The next step is to select the burning method: “Self-boot”, and then click on the “Burn disc image” button.
At this point, you should ensure that all options are checked and correspond to all required settings.
If the media is not formatted, then you need to click on the “Format” menu, and then select the FAT32 type. If everything has been done in advance, then you should open the ISO, and then “Burn”, agreeing to the license agreement.
In a few minutes, a startup flash drive will be created, and you can continue working with the image.

If all actions were performed correctly, the name of the flash drive will contain the name of the image. This way you can write anything, even Windows 7 64 bit or a popular game.

How to burn an image to disk

Insert the disc you want to burn into the drive, and then open the portable ISO reader.

Once the new window appears, you will be able to see several options required to read the ISO:
Write speed. The maximum speed is set first, but it is best to set it to a lower setting for excellent performance.
Recording method. It's best not to touch anything here.
Image file. This location specifies the location of the file required for recording.
If you are recording to a rewritable disc, you must first clear it. To do this, click on the special button.
When everything is ready, you should start burning by clicking “Burn”.

Please note that you can record any image this way. If the error “unknown image format” occurs, you should use the image editor.

The process will complete in a few minutes, after which a completion notification will pop up.

Alcohol 120%

The time-tested program allows you to deploy a disk image to a flash drive using the same principle as was previously done for CDs:

Install the utility from the official website (also a trial version).

Launch it. To create a virtual disk for mounting, you will need to reboot the system. Then open Alcohol 120% and select “Burn images to discs.”

In the “Browse” field, select the directory with the bootable ISO image and click “Next”. Select the remaining settings as desired and click “Start”.

Creating a virtual drive in UltraISO

This algorithm will show you how to use UltraISO premium edition to create a virtual drive:

Go to the program settings, located in the “Options” section.
Open the "Virtual Drive" section to specify the quantity. There should be no less of them than devices.
You can complete the process here, or you can rename all the drives to make it easier to navigate. Select the drive where you want to change the name, and then click on the “New Drive Letter” tab.

If you turned on the program not as an administrator, an error warning window will pop up. To solve it, read the article: How to fix errors in UltraISO.

The process of creating a virtual drive has been successfully completed, so you can start mounting the image, and then use the materials located in the image in UltraISO. You can read below about how to mount the image. When is it needed? When you use licensed games that do not work without a disc. You can mount the image into the drive to pretend that the disk is in the drive. If necessary, you can always unmount the image.

Mounting the image

Mounting images of an optical drive is quite simple, because it is a simple process of connecting the disk to the drive only in the virtual world. In simple terms, you simply virtually insert the disc into the drive. In the software in question, this can be done in two ways, using the application directly or the explorer.

Method 1: Launch through the application

First, launch the application to open the image used for editing. To do this, click “File” and then “Open”.
Specify the folder where it is located, select it, and then open it.
Use the menu to go to the "Mount to virtual drive" section in the tools.
When the pop-up window appears, specify the required drive, and then click on the “Mount” button.

The program may freeze for a while, but don't be alarmed, because the developers simply didn't provide a tracking line. After a couple of seconds, the mounting will be completed, after which you can continue working.

Method 2: Windows Explorer

The presented method allows you to do faster work because you don’t have to open your program.

Open the folder where the ISO is located.
Right-click on it, then select the “UltraISO” menu, then go to the “Mount image into virtual drive F” section.
After completing the steps, the installation will be completed.

This method has a slight drawback, because you cannot notice that the image disk is full.

Installing games using Ultra ISO

Very often, users ask how to install a game using ISO. This question arises due to the existing copy protection. Many toys are licensed and require a disc in the drive. Read the article to the end to learn all the nuances of working with the software.

Creating a game image

First, insert the licensed disc containing the game into the drive. After that, open the software, doing it as an administrator, and then click “Create”.

Specify the required drive and the location where the image will be saved. The format must be .iso for the program to recognize it.

Wait for the process to complete.

Installation

Close windows that are not needed while working, click "Open".
Specify the location where the game data was saved.
Press the "Mount" button, having previously created a virtual drive. Read above how to do it.
Wait while the program completes the mount. Close the utility.
Go to the drive where the mounted game is located to find the “setup.exe” file. Follow the same steps as for a normal installation.

This concludes the work on this issue. This is an interesting way to use licensed toys without a special disc. Now the game will always run as long as there is a virtual drive. Enjoy!

Program installation

First you need to choose a suitable torrent client. The most popular and most adequate is uTorrent. The utility is not bad, but its free version is crammed with advertising. However, this does not affect the download speed in any way.

Now let's start the installation.

Step 1. First, open the browser and type “uTorrent” in the search bar. Press “Enter” on the keyboard.

Step 2. In the results, click on the very first link. It leads to the official website.

Step 3. On the main page, click on the button “Download uTorrent Classic”.

Step 4. Next, select the “Free” column and click “Download”.

Step 5. The file download will start automatically and complete very quickly. Now open Windows Explorer, go to the downloads directory and launch the installer by double-clicking on the downloaded file.

Step 6. The installation wizard will launch. At the first stage, you just need to click “Next”.

Step 7. Next, we also simply click on “Next”.

Step 8. At the next stage, you will need to accept the license agreement by clicking on the “Agree” button.

Step 9. But at the next stage you need to be careful. The installer will try to quietly install some fraudulent application from sponsors. You must refuse by pressing the “Decline” button.

Step 10. We also do not need to install Yandex Browser. So, we also click “Decline”.

Now the installation of the client itself will begin. And upon completion, the installer will display a corresponding message. It is not necessary to run the installed program. It does not require basic setup.

Moreover, files with the torrent extension will be automatically associated with the application during the installation process. You can immediately start downloading content. And this is exactly what we will talk about in the next chapter.

Attention! When installing uTorrent, you should pay special attention to the messages that appear in the installer. If you don’t read them, you can install together with the client often unnecessary programs from Yandex or Mail.ru, which will then be very difficult to remove. Be careful when installing a torrent client.
