RMPrepUSB: Create Bootable Windows/Linux USB, Test R/W Speed & More

RMPrepUSB is utility for creating bootable copies of Windows and Linux distributions on your pen drive. What makes it unique from other applications of it’s kind (such as WintoFlash), is the fact that it not only allows the creation of bootable, installer USBs, but also provides a number of extra features, including USB speed test, USB formatting (in numerous file systems including FAT16, FAT32 and NTFS), performing a size/speed test, installing Grub4dos, SYSLINUX and creating EXT2 FS on your pen drive.

To create a bootable USB for installing a Windows or booting/installing a Linux distribution, select a bootloader, e.g., WnPev2/WinPEv3/Vista/Win7 bootable [BOOTMGR]9CC4, a file system (e.g. NTFS) and select an operating system image file. Once done, click Prepare Drive.

RMPrepUSB also comes with three image tools, namely File –> Drive, Drive –> File and File Info. The File –> Drive option reads image file content and writes it to a selected drive.

The image files in both cases can be of IMG, ROM, BIN, RAW, VMDK,VDI, RAM, QCOW, QCOW2, CLOOP, DMG, VPC, VHD, VVFAT and NBD format. You can also obtain file information (for a file belonging to any of these image formats) from the File Info option.
