with another? Of course, in there you are required to format the Flash USB with a 3rd tool to get it bootable, maybe even a 4th (as such with Hiren's Boot CD recommended USB prep method).If you have saved your output files from DVD Shrink or Nero Recode 2 in a DVD folder - a folder with subfolders VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS and you want to convert that folder to an ISO and to be able to use ImgBurn for burning that ISO - you can now use the freeware tool 'Folder2Iso' to do this job. Why create it the image with one tool, convert it, or then extract, etc. The real problem is why these tools create a image (in most cases it seems img/ima) and yet the same tool won't read the image it created.Ī simple one-in-all ISO creator is needed. I'm just surprised there is no simple tool to flash it, back it up, restore it all-in-one. It's easy to take the 16 GB Flash USB and flash it with what I need, then wipe it when finished.
#FOLDER2ISO SAFE WINDOWS#
I wouldn't want to take my 500 GB external HDD 2.5 inch drive and make multiple partitions, are delete 400 GB of stored data, just to image it with a bootable disk image, Windows setup, etc. I consider flash drives to be "disposable." They are cheaper as well. What is your reason to say it is unsuitable? Why do you consider there to be a difference between a HDD and a Flash USB disk? Flash drives are quick, convenient, etc. Sure, Image For Windows, cloning tools will do the trick, but I really want something simple, small, and easy like UltraISO, but just can't get the whole thing to work as simple as "create image" or something of the USB. I'd also like to be able to create an ISO of the USB when it is bootable (such as the two states listed above) - then I'll reimage it again with my work documents and be back at the beginning.
#FOLDER2ISO SAFE INSTALL#
I'll image the USB with Sickie's to wipe a home machine, then image the USB again with Windows 7 install and reinstall Windows to one of my machines. For example, now it contains my backup work files (documents, etc.) but I am backing it up so I can use the USB Flash to image another machine. iso ISO image in the event I want to create an image of that USB if I happen to image it with a bootable image. It's also important to me to want to be able to make an. I'm just surprised it's so difficult to get these programs to simply make an image of the USB disk as to file content - at this point, it should be as simple as saying to make an ISO of a DVD/CD. Just trying to simplify it, so I don't accidentally miss any folders or files.īut, of course, your suggestion is the most basic and old way of course and I have done that and it works fine in the overall picture I guess hehe. But, I am hoping for a "make ISO" ability - so I don't have to select folders and so on. Well, that is one way to simply backup the files. I want to be sure I can do a universal backup/restore on any machine with my simple tools like UltraISO rather than install custom stuff. I just prefer to use a simple tool like UltraISO for universal use rather than a custom tool like Image For Windows, which I do have and use. I'm NOT EVEN CLOSE to a newbie and maybe I'm too tired or just not thinking clearly, but I can't get it done, haha. Just folders and files is all I want.īut, as I said, every tool I tried won't do the darn job on the thing. iso ISO image of the disk for backup - nothing special. But, I need to use the flash for some other purposes right now, so just want to have a quick method of backup and restore rather than going into Windows Explorer and selecting the folders to copy, etc. I use a 16 GB Kingston DataTraveler USB Flash drive/stick and use it for work. I just want to create an ISO image for backup purposes. So, can someone recommend a solid way to make a simple.

This happens regardless of file format/structure on the USB. I have also tried AnyToISO but it's a bit hinky as well on the img/ima I created in other programs - saying that it can't find the valid ISO signature and that I reached some 5 GB limit and can't continue. An example is that I used the USB Image Tool and it created ima/img and could not be read with other tools.Īlso, when I created the img/ima images and tried to "convert" with all the other tools, it also fails, saying that the source image is invalid. img images, but the resultant image was not usable/mountable/viewable in all the other programs that use those formats. Sure, I can use ImageForWindows I have installed, etc., but prefer to just use a straight up disk tool like UltraISO.

Nothing really wants to touch the USB Flash but only CD/DVD. I have tried a dozen programs including, WinISO, WinImage, UltraISO, and more.

iso format) just as making a CD/DVD image ISO. I can't find a program that will make a simple ISO image (preferably in. I want to create an ISO image of my USB Flash drive (DataTraveler G3) but having issues.
