This program is designed to write a raw disk image to a removable device or backup a removable device to a raw image file. It is very useful for embedded development, namely Arm development projects (Android, Ubuntu on Arm, etc). Anyone is free to branch and modify this program. Patches are always welcome.

This release is for Windows 7/8.1/10. It will should also work on Windows Server 2008/2012/2016 (although not tested by the developmers). For Windows XP/Vista, please use v0.9 (in the files archive).

Warning: Issues have been reported when using to write to USB Floppy drives (and occasionally other USB devices, although very rare). While this has been fixed in v1.0, it is highly recommended that before an image is written to a device, the user should do a Read to a temporary file first. If this fails, please report the failure along with your system information.

Known issues:
Currently, the program will crash if you are using a Ramdisk. This is being debugged.

  • Abandoned. Doesn't work at all until bug #47 is fixed, which has been known about for years.

  • Piece of shit! Don't even do what it is said to. It's not even a USB Image writer. Looks like a Hasher?

  • This is just what I was looking for. After cloning my RPi system disk, I boot off it and used raspi-config to expand to expand to provide access to the larger (32Gb) SD.

  • Thank!!
