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:
- Prepare the Windows 8 “ISO” File.
- Prepare USB Flash Drive that has a capacity of at least “4 GB” or higher to be used for Windows 8 installation.
- “Save” important files from USB Flash Drive to another place, as this will be “formatted” and emptied.
- “Transfer” the ISO file into USB Flash Drive using Rufus.
- “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).
- “Run” Rufus program.
- “Plug-in” USB Flash Drive to your computer or Laptop.
- 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.
- 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.
- Click “Start” to begin formatting and transfer all contents of “Windows ISO” file into USB Flash Drive and Click “OK” if Warning appears.
- 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.
- Continue with complete Installing Windows 8 as normally as using DVDs.

Rufus Iso Image Extraction Failure Windows 10
Rufus Unsupported Image Error
During extraction of data from an image file, a CD, DVD. HD, Flash drive etc. one can get errors. It's not what you want ... but it can happen. In case of an image file the reason is mostly that the data seems so garbled that no sensible data can be derived anymore, or when the end of the file is reached. In case of hard media it's the drive that returned an error. In that case NO data was returned.
If an errors occurs, IsoBuster offers several options, depending on the way how the extraction is done.
This Error Message can occur when you're extracting files and folders. It offers you the choice to RETRY reading the sector, IGNORE the sector (no substituting data will be written for the missing sector) or to QUIT extracting altogether. The option 'Ignore All' will make sure you're not prompted again during extraction and all erroneous sectors will be omitted. Depending on the situation you may need to renew the 'Ignore All' request when multiple objects are selected for extraction.
This Error Message can occur when you're extracting data (from various media or an image file) to an image file, but only the user data portion. It offers you to RETRY reading the sector, apply an option from the SELECTION window or to QUIT. The possible selections are :
OMMIT data which means no substituting data will be written for the erroneous sector (this is the least likely option you would need),
REPLACE with all zeroes which means the sector size will be written but containing zeroes only,
REPLACE with dummy data which means the sector size will be written with data different from zeroes.
The selection making most sense will be selected by default. Click the check box 'Always apply selection' when you do not want to be prompted again during extraction. Depending on the situation you may need to renew this request when multiple objects are selected for extraction.
This Error Message can occur when you're extracting data to an image file, from CD and raw. It offers you to RETRY reading the sector, apply an option from the SELECTION window or to QUIT. The possible selections are :
OMMIT data which means no substituting data will be written for the erroneous sector (this is the least likely option you would need),
REPLACE with all zeroes which means the sector size will be written but containing zeroes only,
REPLACE with user data all zeroes means that the replaced raw block will contain raw data completely according to the CD standard (sync bytes, header, sub headers, EDC/ECC etc.) but with User data containing all zeroes.
REPLACE with erroneous sector means that the replaced raw block will NOT contain raw data according to the CD standard so that a copy tool will recreate the errors (e.g. some programs require errors on the CD).
The selection making most sense will be selected by default. Click the check box 'Always apply selection' when you do not want to be prompted again during extraction. Depending on the situation you may need to renew this request when multiple objects are selected for extraction.
