Many times we download bootable images of operating systems or rescue CDs and we need to burn them on a CD/DVD to be able to use them. But sometimes we don't have access to CD/DVD drive and we want to write the bootable image to a USB drive, in such cases following free utility might come very handy.
"Win32 Disk Imager" is a free utility available for Windows which can be used for writing and restoring images to/from removable drives (USB drives, SD Memory cards, etc). It can be used to write bootable images to a usb drive, making it bootable.
This program can be downloaded from following link:

this tools can only extract .img file..
i have an .iso image of Mac OS X Snow Leopard, it must be mount into
DL-DVD, but my dvd rom isn't working.. so, i just extract the iso to my pendrive using
PowerISO, but I still cant boot with it.. It doesn't work..
Is there any ways to extract the MAC OS so that it can be boot on my laptop?
I'm using Windows 7.. thanks VG..

Hello VG,
I think UNetbootin is better then Win32 Disk Imager. Because UNetbootin can make install on your hard-drive in case if u dont have usb. And u can also download files live from internet.

Thanks for the great application.
Can we use this program for any iso file also those of windows?
If it can write windows iso files, does it support any windows version such as xp, vista, 7,........?
