Rufus will prompt you whether you want to write in ISO image or DD image mode after you press Start. Have you tried DD image mode? In Rufus, which enables USB enumeration debug mode, and post a log with your drive plugged (no need to start a format operation). Maybe it will provide details about your system that could explain things. So I am making a thumbdrive for a Mint Cinnamon Boot, and I get about 18% of the way through making the drive and then I get an ISO Image Extraction Press J to jump to the feed. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. All versions of Rufus since v1.1.0 allow the creation of a bootable USB from an ISO image (.iso). Creating an ISO image from a physical disc or from a set of files is very easy to do however, through the use of a CD burning application, such as the freely available InfraRecorder. Rufus is a great little tool that can write a number of different ISO images onto USB. In addition to Hiren it can also write a number of Linux and Windows based images, and also install a version MS-DOS or FreeDOS which is useful for such tasks as BIOS flashing. There’s also the option to run a multiple pass scan to check the USB. In this video i will show you how to fix image extraction fail and how to make windows 7 bootable.Leave a comment for any problem.=.downloadRufus3.8late.

Found myself in a bit of a pickle yesterday. Downloaded the 1803 ISO using the Windows ISO Download Tool from HeiDoc.Net. Quickly learned that it includes 13 different Windows 10 images (see below). After I used Rufus 3.0 to build a bootable installer, for some odd reason it installed the first image. Athough an OS pick window should appear, none did. Instead, it installed Windows 10 Home. I fixed that by upgrading Home to Windows 10 Pro. But I also wanted to learn how to extract the right image from a portmanteau ISO. That’s how I learned that DISM Export-Image grabs selected image installer, easily used to update the bootable USB Flash Drive (UFD) that Rufus built.

Notice that Windows 10 Home appears in first place, but Windows 10 Pro in sixth (Index:6).

Use DISM Mount-Image Grabs Selected Image Installer to Build Bootable UFD

Once I figured out that I needed the Windows Pro image from position 6 in the 1803 ISO file, I needed to do two things. First, I needed to access the install.wim file I wanted. And second, I needed to copy that image onto my prepared UFD. Both things turn out to be fairly easy.

Use DISM Export-Image to Make Its Files Accessible

This particular DISM command exports a specific image standalone. As already noted, I wanted the image with Index 6. On my system, the ISO file named Win10_1803_English_x64.iso lives in L:MSDN. To access its WIM file, I simply mount the ISO. To do that, right-click the ISO file in File Explorer and select Mount from the resulting pop-up menu. (If that doesn’t work, click “Open with” and select File Explorer from the list of applications.)

On my system, the mounted image shows up as drive M. The file I’m after takes this specification: M:Sourcesinstall.wim. In my case, I created a folder named WIMTest on the I: drive to receive the desired install.wim file.

Here’s the syntax for my system, which I’ll explain in generic form, too:
DISM /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:'M:Sourcesinstall.wim' /SourceIndex:6
/DestinationImageFile:'I:WIMTestinstall.wim'
Note: Even though this line breaks in this blog post, it’s actually a single instruction and should be entered as such in PowerShell or Cmd.exe.

Now, let’s explore the DISM command elements involved.

/Export-Image: Tells DISM to export the designated image file.

/SourceImageFile:'MSourcesinstall.wim': identifies the windows image file from which the chosen image is exported.

/Index:6: identifies the index or position of a specific image file in the overall sequence (6, in this case) for export.

/DestinationImageFile:'I:WIMTestinstall.wim': identifies the file for the exported image.

Rufus Iso Image Extraction Error

Copy the Result File Over the Old Image File

The Rufus-created UFD has the drive letter O: on my system (YMMV, replace accordingly). All I had to do now was to over-write the old install.wim in the O:Sources folder with the newly-exported install.wim from the I:WIMTest folder. Now, booting the installer automatically installs Windows 10 Pro instead of Windows 10 Home. Of course, even though my system is installed the UFD is useful for repairs, too. Problem solved!

USB Flash Drive can be an Alternative choice to install Windows 8 or 8.1 operating system that normally uses “DVD setup”. Not only that, even memory card or other external device can also be used. There are many software programs that can help to perform this task easily, one of them is “Rufus”. This is a very lightweight application, with a tiny size that can transfer Windows Setup from ISO file and make external device “bootable”, so we can use it later as a normally using DVD for installation.

To install Windows 8 from USB Flash Drive with Rufus, follow these step by step below:

1. Prepare the Windows 8 “ISO” File.
2. Prepare USB Flash Drive that has a capacity of at least “4 GB” or higher to be used for Windows 8 installation.
3. “Save” important files from USB Flash Drive to another place, as this will be “formatted” and emptied.
4. “Transfer” the ISO file into USB Flash Drive using Rufus.
5. “Download” Rufus.

   Rufus is a free software designed to format and create external devices such as flash or memory cards to be bootable, so it can be used as normally using DVDs. This program automatically extract ISO file and transfer into USB Flash Drive so it can be used to install Windows (7, 8, 10).

6. “Run” Rufus program.
7. “Plug-in” USB Flash Drive to your computer or Laptop.
8. Click “Device” and select the location of USB Flash Drive to be transferred with ISO file, but if already Plugged-in, it usually detected automatically.
9. Let’s “Partition scheme and target system type”, “File system”, “Cluster size”, and “New Volume Label”.

   This is a default setting for most home PCs. Experienced users can customize it for first Booting. If there is an error during installation, try changing the “Partition scheme and target system type” section.

   Under “Format Options”, there are several settings options, but we can leave it as “default”.

   In the “Create a bootable disk using” section choose “ISO Image” and then Click CD/DVD icon to select the ISO File. It may take a while for Rufus to check the selected ISO.

10. Click “Start” to begin formatting and transfer all contents of “Windows ISO” file into USB Flash Drive and Click “OK” if Warning appears.
11. Wait for a few minutes until the process is complete until the “DONE” notification or Back to “READY” appears. This depends on PC speed, it usually take 10-15 minutes, after that we can close Rufus. Now we can directly use the USB Flash Drive with Windows Setup.
12. Continue with complete Installing Windows 8 as normally as using DVDs.

Rufus Windows Iso Image Extraction Failure

Windows 8 or 8.1 is an operating system with an altered user interface that can be used on touchscreen devices other than the mouse and keyboard. This system is designed to be used on touch tablet devices. Windows 8 is the name of one version of the operating system that uses an ARM microprocessor in addition to traditional x86 microprocessors made by Intel and AMD.
