現在許多計算機沒有cd-rom, 怎麽安裝光盤上的軟件？答案是用 Rufus

前幾天我就碰上過類似的問題。下載了微軟窗口7操作係統，是ISO格式的文件。可計算機上的CD－RW光驅壞了，無法製作光盤。其實就是沒壞，也不是誰家都有空白的光盤。

不過如今，誰家都有閃存盤（USB Flash Drive）. 把ISO文件轉換到閃存盤，就可以解決沒光盤／光驅的問題。

這裏說的轉換，可不是 Copy／Paste，那樣雖然簡單，但閃存盤不能啟動電腦。

給大家介紹個免費軟件，名叫 Rufus  （https://rufus.akeo.ie/），它就可以完成這個轉換，並使轉換後的閃存盤能啟動計算機。然後大家就可以繼續裝想要裝的軟件了。

假如你不想在計算機上裝這個軟件，可以用它的便攜版 （portable), 不用在自己的計算機上留下任何痕跡。

Create bootable USB drives the easy way

Rufus is a utility that helps format and create bootable USB flash drives, such as USB keys/pendrives, memory sticks, etc.

It can be especially useful for cases where:

• you need to create USB installation media from bootable ISOs (Windows, Linux, UEFI, etc.)
• you need to work on a system that doesn't have an OS installed
• you need to flash a BIOS or other firmware from DOS
• you want to run a low-level utility

Despite its small size, Rufus provides everything you need!

Oh, and Rufus is fast. For instance it's about twice as fast as UNetbootin, Universal USB Installer or Windows 7 USB download tool, on the creation of a Windows 7 USB installation drive from an ISO. It is also marginally faster on the creation of Linux bootable USB from ISOs. ⁽¹⁾
